  I have redhat 7.0 on a ibm600e thinkpad and windows me on the a second 
thinkpad (same specs). I connect to the internet via comcast(previously 
att) on the windows me machine. I have a SB4220 surboard cable modem. I 
connected the win me laptop via the usb and i'm trying to connect the 
linux one via an thernet card. It's a realport xircom cardbus ethernet 
10/100x + 56k modem (RBEM56G-100).

/.sbin/ifconfig gives me the following output:

lo Link encap:Local loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 metric:1
RX packet:222 errors:0 dropped:0 overrruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:222 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

I've checked around and i understand that i can connect the modem to 2 
computers. On my linux box, i think that it has detected the ethernet 
card as the lights go on. Apart from that i'm stuck.
