ok, its not modems ethernet mac, but why did you start another thread?

anyway, in windows xp right click on network connections, then properties, then you should see local area connection 1 or similar, right click then repair.

see if that helps.

if not, disconnect ethernet from the modem, power it up, wait 2 mins, then connect ethernet.
