This is an odd result, but I bet it is just a weird way of implementing the
MAC-address authentication Lynn told you about. Try
(a) turning off the cable modem (unplug it) for about a minute
(b) telling your ISP that you are changing computers
One or the other of these things will *probably* fix your problem (depsnding
on whether they authenticate in the cable-modem box or at the head end.

It is normal behavior for a system that has DNS problems, as your almost
surely does. Try "ipchains -L -n" to turn off reverse lookups.
And try "ipchains -L -n -v" for more complete characterization (albeit
harder to read) of the rulesets.
