The most important thing here is, do you have a dynamic or static connection?
Did @home give you a IP and DNS #  , like  24.0.0.0
I have @home (static) and Linux works fine,
 You can try the command /sbin/dhcpd and see if that will connect, if it does
you have a dynamic connection.
If you want you can email me with that info and I will help you get connected.
