Hi Dave,
I am using cable. I am connected to the RoadRunner network. My Cable modem is plugged into a WAN Router (Motorola WR850G). My Linux PC is plugged into one of the 4 Router RJ45 connectors. Everything works
great.

Perhaps you do not have a router. Then one thing you may require is a

cross over Ethernet cable between your cable modem and your PC. Check

with your service provider to be sure. It should connect exactly the same way a connection to a Windows system is made.
