Sure.

What kind of cable modem are you using?
Does it connect to your computer via USB, or network port?  If via USB, does it have a network port available?
If it connects via the network port, do you have the right network module in use? (look in /etc/modules.conf for "alias eth0 modulename")
Did @Home give you a computer name to plug into your system? (like "c575204-a")

I've gotten three separate Linux boxes to talk to @Home, so I'm sure I can help you.  Feel free to respond in email if you care to.
