I'm having way to much fun. 

RCA Comcast modem: works fine. 
I can ping myself, and I can ping other ethernet addresses on the comcast network. 

ifconfig -a shows eth0 is up, it has an assigned IP address from comcast. 

but....

Mozilla will not get to the internet. I set up the security using "medium" security as default. I have some experience with cable modem in Boulder, CO, where I had to force feed the network with pump -i eth0 -h hostname (the hostname assigned by @home). 
I'm failing miserably at this point. 

ifup eth0 gives errors

Determining IP information for eth0...iptables: No chain/target/match by that name done.

iptables: Bad rule (does a matching rule exist in that chain?)
iptables: Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
iptables: Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name


NOTE: The system I built is for my parents. I'm attempting to turn them into a home linux users. They are upgrading from webtv to a Linux home system. 
Because the system resides at my parents, and I'm running out of time on this visit, I may not be able to immediately anything for a couple of weeks (upon my next return trip). However, I'm bound and determined to keep them off windows. 

Any help, or anyone with experiencing RedHat 9 kernel 2.4.20-6 and comcast would be greatly appreciated. 

Another note: Comcast was not much help with providing dns/gateway/ip address information for configuring the system. The install guy didn't have any of that information so I had to connect with a windows laptop to run winipcf to get some information. 

Thanks in anticipation, 

AlaskaJon
