Determining IP information for eth0 failed

[jludwig]

The -5dB/1dB is a splitter which means you probably have cable tv too.
Depending on the service you may only have one allowable MAC address.
I am allowed 4 MACs, but, my modem gets "confused" whenever it has seen
more than one MAC address without being reset ( It's a Motorola too).
I have up to three machines going through one Linux firewall/router/PC
and don't see any degradation of service.
