as a side note, not sure this is connected to how it was doing last night 
but I was using my roomate's dsl connection up till a week or so ago and she 
had a router.  What did that mean I was connected to an unidentified network 
and "local access"

Ok, that's odd.  Have you tried another ethernet cable yet?

The cable box doesn't care what's connected to it as long as that device can
recognize and use an ethernet based internet connection.  The info you're
getting back from the cable box implies that it may have a router-like
device inside it (connected locally), but it's not recognizing the computer
as internet-abled.  If a new cable doesn't help, hopefully someone else will
come up with an idea or three you can try.

Peace,
Gman
