There are a number of things that could be going wrong so first thing to do is narrow down the problem. Couple questions: 1.) Are you connecting your computer directly to the cable modem or to another router in between? 2.) Do you have another PC/Laptop running windows that connects ok to the internet through your cable modem? 3.) Log in as root and send the results of the following commands: ifconfig -a lspci -vv (just find the block(s) that have "Ethernet controller" and send those) lsmod The first will list your network interfaces, the second your PCI devices, the third your loaded kernel modules.
