has anyone a connection to @home with Linux (SuSE 6.4 is what I use).

I can't get it going.

Description follows------>

I am not able to connect to my @home cable internet service.  The @home
service have no documentation for a Linux configuration.   Please help
me.

I have done the following:

run Yast (as root) to:
1. install the D-Link DFE-530TX+ fast ethernet card model  (used rtl8139

driver, which is supported by kernel)
     steps:
     'System administration', 'Integrate hardware into system',
'configure networking device' and selecting eth0
     'Networking device type'   selected rtl8139

2. in 'base network configuration' (I hope I remembered that name
correctly)
     steps:
     selected row Number 0
     F5 and selected 'Ethernet'   (eth0)
     F3 and selected DHCP
     F4 to activate
     F10 saved configuration

3.  I installed from SuSE 6.4 CD #1 the package dhclient (because I need

to specify dh client id)
      then edited file /etc/dhclient.conf and uncommented the line with
@home dh client id and entered my dh client id   (eg    ...=crxxxxxx-a
)      This client id number was provided to me by @home

4.  rcnetwork restart
     then tried to ping www.suse.de   and that did not work.

5.  init 1

6   init 2

7   init 3

8.  I modified preferences in Netscape 4.7 to include the SAME
parameters that I have been using on my Macintosh to access my @home
service  (it works on the Macintosh, which is DISCONNECTED from the
cable modem when using PC).


Note:

PC cpu= amd k6-3
There is no Lan, the PC is directly connected to the cable modem.
