Ahhhh I think that isp will only ever respond to one MAC address on that line once you've done it once. so now it will onlyu respond to your WIndows machine. We had this problem in the test setup.. we had to 1/ power down the modem 2/ swap teh ethernet card from the windows machine to the Unic machine so that the MAC address moved.. (!) (BLEAH!) COmplain to your ISP LOUDLY if this is the case....
