Problem with ethernet connection

I'm having trouble connecting to the internet through my ethernet card.I
have a motorola surfboard cable modem and a dlink ethernet card.
Everything is ok if i use the usb connection form the pc to the CM,i can
connect to the internet ok.But if i uninstall the usb drivers and connect
from the ethernet card to the modem i cant access the internet.Anyone any
idea why that is please.

On Blueyonder you'll need to register the MAC address of your Ethernet card in
the selfcare section. Untill you do this your BBand connection via ethernet
won't work

Find out your MAC address and whilst your connected via your USB register it
in the selfcare section.

You can register upto 5 x MAC address's for different devices, e.g. PC's,
and/or a router.

on the pc, this worked with my NTL modem needs to reset
