RED - Interface & DHCP

On my Red Interface (eth1) i don´t get any IP Address that should be assigned by my ISP Provider (Cable Provider).
Connecting Windows XP on my Cablemodem, I get some IP Address and can connect to the entire Internet.

Try turning off the cable modem for at least a minute before trying a new NIC (ASL). DHCP lease gets locked to the first card on many ISPs.

Your ISP may have your dhcp limited to a specific MAC address. If so, you may have to call them to register the MAC on their system.

Just to ask the obvious, but when you say "RED" interface you aren't referring to the traffic light next to that interface are you? This would indicate that it is down, and as such won't grab an address, if this is the case, click the red light to green to bring the interface up and it will then grab an address (provided everything else is correct)

might be off, just checking with you just in case.
