cable modem - one more time

I have never been able to get my firewall working with DHCP. I've tried a couple of times, each time spending a Saturday on it, but both times I couldn't get the network to assign an address. That was with 6.4 and dhclient. I'm about to try it with 7.0 and dhcpcd. When I set up the world ip, is it as simple as (in yast) setting up Network Base Configuration | <F3> auto ip | DHCP? Do I have to specifically run "dhcpcd -h c-xxxxxx?" TIA -- The question is, why are politicians so eager to be president?
