your ISP should have supplied to you at least 2 name
servers to use. have you put them on /etc/resolv.conf?

have you done 'nslookup whateverdomain.com' and get
the correct ip for it? 

can you ping your ISP supplied DNS from that machine?
does ifconfig -a give you ips for the cable modem
interface?  is dhcp client setup so that you can get
dynamic ips? 

just some ideas on how to troubleshoot it.
