You won't be able to see the cable modem anyway. You'll see an ethernet
interface, and your ethernet interface will see a dhcp server.
read "man interfaces" and edit /etc/interfaces to automatically get a
dhcp address for eth0.
Do "dpkg -l dhcp-client"; if it doesn't show as installed apt-get it.
Do ifconfig; if it shows eth0 all you need to do at this point is
restart networking: "/etc/init.d/networking restart".
