You could try disconnecting your cable modem for about 10 minutes,
ensuring the ISP recognizes that it's offline, and thus remove the
entries in it's DHCP table for your connection.
then when you boot your system normally, it might work like it used to.
Yes, that sound reasonable. The livecd was probably shut down without
releasing the lease on the ip-address. Check the manual page on the
dhcp-client on the live cd. There is probably some signal you can send
it to make it release its lease.
When the regular os comes back up in this situation, it wants /its/ old
ip back. This might hang on a server restriction on only one ip per
subscriber/mac address, or it might just trigger a bug somewhere.
