Well, having had my own problems with my cable connection, and then
being even more frustrated when all it took was a modem reboot to fix
the problem.
It appears that the modem connects first, downloads any software
updates for the modem each time. And if there isn't something there
asking for an address, or requesting traffic, it forgets it's actually
there. So it downloads the acceptable MAC addresses and then fetches
an IP address. So if you run into this problem again, just give that a
try. All our machines for UNIXTECHS are on cable connections and when
we run into problems, that usually does the trick.
But glad I could help!
