Hmmm...

I suspect that you may have had another computer tied to the cable modem before
you connected this one...  Try powering off the cable modem and powering it
back up.  They will only listen to one hardware address and if you switch
machines, it won't talk to the new machine until the modem has been reset.

Cheers!
