Are you hooking the cable modem to a hub/router. If it is a hub there is only one port to hook the modem to and you do need a crossover cable most of the time. If you are going directly to the PC then you need to try with a crossover and you need to try with a straight cable. This maybe your problem. Try both types of cables with the hub or directly to the PC.
