There's a discussion on /. on this cable modem and MediaOne...

Oh, just looked at which type of modem it is...external...very nice.
This simplifies things greatly.  Now.  Do you have a static IP address
or a dynamic IP address?  If it's static, it's even easier; just
assign that static address to your network card that is connected to
the cable modem. If it's dynamic, you'll have to set up dhcpcd, the
DHCP client daemon, to fetch an IP from MediaOne and assign it to the
network interface.
