no problem...glad its all working now!
syndaily, you need to power cycle the modem as well so that it picks up the MAC address of your NIC - just swapping the cables around doesn't work (as you've found!) You have picked up an IP address but as the MAC address isn't registered with the modem (which is the reason for the power cycle) you won't actuually be able to get outside your internal LAN.

ps I've heard rummours about MAC logging at the ISP's end. Would I need to register a new NIC? if so do you know the uri?

this registration is for the MAC address of the modem, not NIC's in machines
