Hmm...there are several possabilities for what might be wrong. A couple likely candidates I can think of off the top of my head: - Your cable modem or ISP is doing MAC address caching, and you initially connected with a different network card than you're using in the Dachstein box. Unplug your cable-modem for several minutes, or otherwise try to reset it, and try connecting again. - Your cable provider is using a private IP for the DHCP server, and response packets are being dropped by the firewall rules (check /var/log/messages for denied packets). If this is your problem, comment the appropriate RFC 1918/1627/1597 address range in the stopMartians() procedure in /etc/ipfilter.conf. - Your cable provider only provides DHCP service to registered MAC addresses. If this is the case, put the NIC you initially connected with into your Dachstein box, or provide your cable company with the MAC address of the external NIC on your Dachstein box. If you still can't figure out what's wrong, provide a few more details of your setup and we'll try to help. For instance, does the Eiger install work only on DSL, or have you had it running on the cable-modem as well? Have you been able to connect to the cable modem at all (perhaps by directly connecting a system to your cable modem)? Who is your cable provider, and how did they tell you to configure your system (probably instructions for windows only, but we can translate them into the appropriate linux configuration)?
