Cable runs off your hostname. So you wand to send your hostname and 
request everything else. If you are running a name server you will want 
to prepend it's IP address after the request. Then pick a media for the 
connection to bind to.

Exanple config:

interface "fxp0" {
         send host-name "c1529030";
         request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, 
domain-name, domain-name-servers;
         require subnet-mask;
         media "media autoselect";}
