No PPPoE, that's used with xDSL.

In other words: "I'm the guy that takes the heat and knows nothing."

I don't know if RedHat has man pages on it's config, but you might check
and see if there's anything on configuring /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ethX

Also, since it seems your a linuxconf user, you might check to see if
there are any config options to send your hostname with the dhcp
request.  I believe redhat uses pump, so we know that (acording to
Geoff Rivell) at least version 0.8.11 will work with comcast, at
least on boot.
