Bruce,
    I'll assume the obvious here in that you also power cycled the modem as
well?  I also wonder if there is a delay in registration, although you say you
are getting all the addresses, correct.  If you do a WINIPCFG /ALL from the
Start > Run menu, are you getting a full compliment of addresses assigned to
the adapter?
    I'd also try to ping and use the browser for some site, but use the IP
address and see if you get there.  When I ping www.google.com, I get back an
address of 216.239.37.101
    Try to get there first with the qualified name, and then the IP address.
If the www attempt fails, and the IP works, you know you are on the network,
and the problem is DNS resolution, or getting to the DNS'.
