Hello all, First off, a big thank you for all who helped so patiently. I just start with the last important steps.
After contacting my ISP, I got the information which seems to get me going. Here the info: the first answer: ----------------------------- I actually think the problem is due to our system and not yours. The modem caches what it was last connected to. The problem is that sometimes it doesn't forget. As the modem thinks it is connected to a D-Link it will not give an IP to your Linux box. When you connect your Linux box you will need to call us at 1-877-469-0418 so we can clear the modem's memory. after mentioning that I poweroff the modem, I became a even more clear answer: To get technical it's not really the modem that caches what it was last connected. It's the CMTS here at Access (ISP). Therefore we need to clear the CMTS for you to be able to grab an IP. ----------------------------------------- So, this sounds promising and I will let you guys know how I make out on that. And this is now what I am doing. :) After a new install and not misled by the green square for the green nic, (just ticking the connected nic at that time), phoning my ISP to clear the cache and hardcoded the MAC of the nic (spoofing didn't help here as mentioned in my earlier posts of the original thread) I was connected to the net and all was working as expected. Again, thank you for your time, help, tips, hints and patience.
