make sure you reboot the cable modem before connecting to the mac.

If you still can't get online, go to apple-> system prefs-> network-> and chose show "built in ethernet".

"configure IPv4" should show "using dhcp". Is there an ip address showing? If so, does it start 169, 192 or something else? If there is no ip showing, click "renew dhcp lease".

If you have changed anything click "apply now" then close.
