Any help of step in the right direction would be much appreciated


Did you power cycle the CM after you cleared the MAC address and selected "Obtain an IP address automatically"? You need to. Some people also suggest power cycling the router as well so they are both off together. It should not be necessary but it won't harm. (If you plug the CM back directly to the PC, you will need to power cycle the CM again).

Something seems very wrong here, but I can't put my finger on it. Can you post a screen dump of your set up?

Have you disabled WAN1 and/or set any load balance properties?
