"I recently saw your cable modem howto and I have an addition.
Sunflower Cable is a company stricly in Lawrence KS, however we have a
rather large Linux community because of the University of Kansas. On
our local LUG mailing list, we are starting to get more and more
questions on how to configure their linux machine for the cable modem.
It is just regular static addressing, and the modem is made by
Zenith."
In order to get online with Sunflower all you have to do is enable DHCP.
DHCP mini-HOWTO (

Under RedHat use Control Panel and Network Configuration to put in
these numbers. Just say Add Interface, Device type=Ethernet, Device
name=eth0 (this is zero not O in eth0) then fill out all the fields.
Then click activate.

If this doesn't work make sure you do network card troubleshooting

We use DOCSIS compliant modems now, not the old Zenth stuff.
