Anyone know how to configure RedHat to use an Excite@home connection?

Well if your @home is anything like my @home then all you have to do is set it for dhcp and use the computer name you were given as your domain name (example: cx123456-c). The @home domain name isn't used anywhere, well eccept for your e-mail address. At least thats how I got mine working with Mandrake 8.1. Obviously your ethernet card needs to be working. Good luck ;)

Can you not use Linuxconf to setup/configure networking? netcfg netconfig whatever tools Redhat comes with.

Before you get your panties in a knot, why don't you tell us what version of RedHat?

Unfortunately, Rh 7.x dropped linuxconf/netconf from their installation, even if you do an expert install. I've heard that linuxconf is still on the CD's, but that you have to install it manually. As for what configuration program Rh7.x does use, I don't know. If you get linuxconf on your 'puter I can step you through it, but otherwise, I'm just lame and useless...sorry.
;)

BTW- you can always do it by hand; we can step you through that if you want.

Well, assuming your network card already works, use netconfig to set up the network information. Be sure to select dhcp. Assuming your card is at eth0, edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, and add the line DHCP_HOSTNAME=XXX, where XXX is the hostname given to you by your cable provider. Run 'ifdown eth0' and then 'ifup eth0'. It should work after this.

I posted a tutorial about this over at the New Users Forum-----Networking at the Red Hat forums.

Would you know how to set with up in that?
