I'm new to DSL, and can't seem to get online when I'm running it.

My ISP is Cox Communications, and the modem seems to be working fine.

If I boot with a Knoppix LiveCD I can get online without having to do anything, but when I use DSL, nothing. What am I doing wrong?

You have to unplug cable modem for 5-10 min, power on cable modem then boot dsl, since the MAC address has changed the DHCP server is locked in on the old MAC

Would the MAC address change if he is simply swapping out a
knoppix cd for a DSL cd ? ?  
It may request a new lease from the dhcp, but the nic hasn't changed, right?
Same box, same modem... ?

I dunno, I dont think so unless the hardware/software some how sets it up differently

How is your cable modem connected to your computer?

Is it connected via a LAN cable (looks like a phone cable with a bigger jack), or is it connected via a USB cable?
