What Reliance service and device are you using? Why the USB modem? Did you try cloning the MAC id of the other machine with the one that works? Its a simple solution. Add the line hwaddress ether [mac id] to your eth device in the /etc/network/interfaces file. eg: auto eth0 dhcp iface eth0 inet dhcp hwaddress ether 02:01:02:03:04:08 http://www.youritronics.com/how-to-change-the-mac-address-in-linux-debian/ -- Regards, Rony.
