getting an ip from my isp

I have been trying for a few days now. When i set up one of my nic cards as an external device that will connect to my cable modem i cannot receive an ip from my isp. I have time warner cable if that matters. I do believe that as a home user we have five ip that can be issued to us so not thinking that this is the problem.

for cable isp's anytime you make a major change to the external nic whether mac or anything else it can cause issues. unplug power from the cable modem..wait a minute..plug it back in and give a few minutes..thins should calm down then.
