[newbie] Cable Modem Setup

[J Winkle]

Hi All,
      I am using a cable modem (Comcast @Home in NJ) to connect to the
internet and can not, for the life of me, figure out how to configure it
(correctly) to actually get on the internet.  I have found most(?) places
that would configure it. But am not sure of the translation between Win95
and Linux for DNS Server, Work Group, Search Order, etc ..... I have looked
for How-To's on the subject but none really get as specific as I need (read
extreme newbie).  Any help would be MOST appreciated.

Jim
