[LBo] Cable Connection to the Internet

[Howard Rosen]

The paragraph below is from SuSE 9.3 Administration Manual.  I can't
believe that 10.1 is any different.

22.4.4. Cable Modem
 In some countries (Austria, US), it is quite common to access the
Internet through the TV cable network. The TV cable subscriber usually
gets a modem that is connected to the TV cable outlet on one side and to
a computer network card on the other (using a 10Base-TG twisted pair
cable). The cable modem then provides a dedicated Internet connection
with a fixed IP address. 
 Depending on the instructions provided by your ISP, when configuring
the network card either select ‘Automatic Address Setup (via DHCP)’ or
‘Static Address Setup’. Most providers today use DHCP. A static IP
address often comes as part of a special business account.
