I use dhclient instead of dhcpcd.
and in my /etc/dhclient.conf I put
send host-name "CoXXXXXXX-x";
where Co-XXXXXX-x is the hostname (or login name) they allocated to me.
All you do then is run dhclient ethx
where ethx is the device you have connected your cable modem to.

the cable modem caches the MAC address last PC that connected.

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DHCP_HOSTNAME=cj395384-a
Also, I have the following in my /etc/sysconfig/network file:
NETWORK=yes
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
Hope this helps!

1. I can't connect Linux with @home service
Hello Linux ppl
I'm having the same problem as that guy from the Netherlands
I used linuxconf to set the hostname and I set it to dhcp
The book I got w/ the Redhat CD says the only required fields are Net Device
and
kernel module which I set
In the network configurator I set proto=dhcp, atboot=yes, interface=eth0,
and I thought it would get the IP addr from their server; when I click
activate
the data light on the modem blinks for a few mins and then it goes inactive
again.
What am I missing?
Thanks for any help with this.
2. GNU findutils large file aware?
3. It's not bad canned meat...
4. Default permissions within dir.
6. What should this do?: $SHELL -c 'HOME=foo echo $HOME'
7. DLINK DE-1500 Hub administration
8. NET USE /HOME connects to logon path, not logon home.
9. Failed to connect to term socket '/home/sjw/.term/socket
10. Home LAN and Apache : Can't connect to Apache from Internet
11. Connecting my home PC's together to share my slip connection etc.
12. can't connect from home!!!
