The steps I took to configure the card are as follows:
Started DrakConf
Clicked on Network Configuration
Under Client Tasks tab, clicked on Basic host information
under Host name tab input the DNS Name provided to me by @Home
Under Adaptor 1 tab I set it up as follows
Config mode: Manual
Primary Name + Domain: my user name + subdomain address as provided by @Home
No Aliases
Next input the IP address
Put IN Netmast, net device eht0
Kernel Module rtl8139
I/O port 0 x 1000
IRQ = 9
Next put in IP of Name Server (DNS) 1 and 2
Next went to Routing and gateways, clicked on Set and entered my Gateway IP
Then Quit Quit and Activate Changes
As I stated before this setup will let me connect to the cable modem and use
the internet. But if I shut the computer down and then restart it I get the
following:
Delay eth0 initialization Failed
Starting httpd: httpd:cannot determine local host name
Use the ServerNameDirective to set it manually Failed
I hope this will help you to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it.
Thanks Bill

Um... "shutting down and rebooting" just ain't enough information for me
figure out what's gone wrong.
Please list the steps you took to configure the card, whether you happened
to use a static IP, or have cofigured pump or dhcpcd. Whether you are
activating your NIC at boot, etc.
