I know this is very upsetting for you, and so many sources of advice must be a trial. We all want to help.

Have you tried the Apple way to force a DHCP lookup that I put forward?

If the router turns up, try using it out-of-the-box with no cloning. It's really just trying a third computer that hopefully may pick up the IP address without problems. (I have to say that if you already had a router, our advice would have been to remove it and connect the iMac directly to the modem!)

I'm going to shut up now- you want a resolution of your problem (while I'm actually trying to find out if there is a global problem with VM/ntl and Intel Macs)
