So let me get this straight......After setting up DSL, you removed the
modem and attached a "cable" modem?
Did you try renewing/releasing "all" adapters?? You may possibly have an
IP conflict..........

Go to start/programs/accessiories/Command Prompt

Type in ipconfig \help (this will show you the command lines, skip a
space after you type ipconfig)

ipconfig \renew is what may help............or ipconfig/registerdns
