did you power cycle the modem and then reboot the PC?

edit: paste the output of your /etc/rc.conf file here.

Re: 'network' on boot

add lo to INTERFACES: (lo eth0)
Maybe this is your problem (If lo is down, it can cause problems )

Re: 'network' on boot

Put an '@' in front of every daemon that is network related in your DAEMONS array. This way the daemons will be started in background.

Edit: Maybe there could be a more elegant way with /etc/network-profiles/ but I am too lazy to do research . What I suggested works for me.
