Do you have cable or DSL? Do you have a router?

So you have the cable coming from the wall to the cable modem, then an ethernet cord going from the cable modem straight to your comp?

Who is your ISP?

With my cable ISP when you plug in a new device into the cable modem you have to register the MAC address with them.

Are you getting assigned an IP address when you start up?

no but under network preferences it has everything set up (ip adress and all of the internet account settings)

Did you manual configure IP address or set it to Automatic using DHCP?
