[linux-help] high speed internet and eth0 questions

["Demski Dennis SSgt 22 CS/SCMI" <Dennis.Demski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just installed RH7.1 and was on Cox high speed internet for about 3 days.  
Now i cannot get the computer to connect back to the internet.  I have some 
questions.

What should the command line look like when you are connected to cox internet?
What configurations should i have under Network Configuraiton?
Why would the internet work for a couple of days and then not work all of a 
sudden?
Why does my command line look like root@ip(ip address here).ks.ok.cox.net when 
my e-mail address for cox is goldenllama@xxxxxxx?
When i open a .gz file and click on the install or the setup icons it just 
comes up with a window that says "No action taken"?
I open up GnomeRPM and try to find a RPM i just downloaded but it is no where 
to be found...i have been told that you install RPMs this way.
