I don't see anybody else throwing out suggestions, so I'll take a shot.
I've heard that some dsl-modems need to be power cycled if the attached
ethernet device is changed. Apparently they set themselves up for a
particular MAC address and the only way to change it as to cycle the
power. Or reset it in some fashion.
I don't know if ACS' modems are of this variety, but it's something to
try.

Today, in attempting to reconfigure my network access to bypass the router (plugged modem eth cable directly into computer network port), I removed the ethernet devices from the system configuration. At present, I am unable to re-configure those devices (using net config under Gnome).
