Trouble connecting via cable modem

Do any of you currently use AT&T Broadband and BeOS? I am trying to connect to the network, but nothing is successful. BeOS completely recognizes my 3Com ethernet card. I tried using DHCP, with no luck. I also tried manually entering the settings but that didn't work either. I have only used dialup in BeOS and have never attempted to connect in this way, so bare with me if I am sounding vague. :) I was going to use my D-Link card at first, but I figured I'd have better luck the with 3com, so that's what I'm using. I use three different ethernet cards and all of the MAC addresses are registered so any of them should work fine. I'm stumped as to what I should do. Any suggestions? And AT&T wants nothing to do with BeOS or Linux, so they're no help.

Mostly suggestions like go to Windows and find the DHCP address or name. (this assumes that DHCP is the trouble) You may have to edit a hosts-sample file. I think that beos looks for a hosts file and then the first and second choice for the DHCP. Can you ping 127.0.0.1? Can you ping any other IP address? Do you have to use a proxy in netpositive with a port number to access the modem? Does it have an IP?
