A non-MTD related thought:  Is the network switch upstream from the
MBX860 configured with any kind of MAC layer security?  If so, maybe the
change in MAC address is stopping you.  Also, some Cisco equipment may
take a minute or two to renegotiate speed and duplex mode.

One other thing:  Is your bootpd/dhcpd configured fro the correct MAC?
