   Comcast upgraded my modem, and after some difficulty I was able to get my   
   Ubuntu Edgy desktop online via dhcp.  The real problem comes when I   
   attempt to recycle my modem and connect my HP Pavilion ze4230 online.  It   
   simply refuses to interface, although the network monitor indicates that   
   packets are being received.   
      
   I never had a minute's difficulty with the old modem.  I'd simply swap the   
   ethernet cable, recycle the modem, boot up the computer and away we'd go.   
      
   I've tried tweaking everything I can think of, including copying the   
   desktop's /etc/network/interfaces file to the laptops directory.     
      
   Nothing works.   
      
   Any insights would be appreciated.
