Wait! Are you dual booting windows and linux, or swapping the
modem between two different computers? Vast numbers
of cable companies register the MAC address of the interface
they are first connected to and refuse to talk to other
NIC cards without calling up the cable company and getting
things reset.
That's one of the reasons that the MAC spoofing virtually
all routers have is so useful. You can fool with your hardware
without talking to the cable company.
the modem remembers it. You can reset it my powering down the modem,
waiting 10-30 seconds, and powering it back up.
I am not sure of the exact cause, but I have speculated that it has
a dhcp server with only one IP address in its address pool. It will
not give that IP address to another NIC until the lease expires, or
the server is restarted...
