Call your ISP and ask if you are using PPOE. I would bet that if you need
this program installed, you are using PPOE. If so, then you don't get your
address from DHCP. You get your address from the PPOE client (net300). SBC
uses PPOE almost exclusively for residential DSL. Many companies use it
because of the security risks involved with a straight connection.

The only other thing would be to attempt to manually get the address via
dhcp using the hostname that is assigned to your windows computers. The
ill fated @home network used this scheme. The computer name detirmined
what address was assigned via dhcp and if the computer name wasn't what
they assigned it wouldn't get an address. But again, you probably are
using PPOE.
