Did you have the router's mac address provisioned with your ISP?

If you have not provisioned the router's mac, then your isp is still
pointing to the cloned nic mac address of the computer that you entered into
the router. The computer that was connected to the ISP without the router.

Take that computer and connect it directly to the cable modem and set the
machine to 100 mip mode. If you can communicate to the ISP, then you know
that it's doing it at 100 mips.

Then that leaves can the router switch to 100 mips or is it that the router
and the network card don't play well? You could get a different brand of
network card from someone and put it in the machine. If it doesn't connect
at 100 mips, the issue is with the router again. If it connects, then you
know it's with the network card.

By process of elimination, you should be able to determine where the problem
is at.

That's it good night!!!
