OK. your dhcp server...is this one you own? or are you
using your cable provider's dhcp? It could be that the
cable company is restricting unknown MAC addresses
from getting an IP from them. If you are relying on
the cable company to disburse IPs, forget it...do it
your self via a proxy configuration or by natting your
network.
But I've heard that for some cable companies natting
through a router may not work because the MAC address
isn't registered with them...
Let us know your configuration so we can give further
advice.
