2-4-1 Using ‘Cable Modem’ as broadband connection type
If your Internet service provider uses cable modem to provide Internet
service to you, you can select this connection type. You can also select
this connection type if your ISP tells you that they will assign you the IP
address by ’DHCP’ (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
Here are descriptions of every setup items:

Host Name Please input the host name of your computer,
this is optional, and only required if your
service provider asks you to do so.

you can simply press ‘Clone Mac address’

MAC address of your computer.
