You can tell the router to fake a mac I believe, just for this reason.

I have SP 2 installed on the desktop.  I disabled the
firewall because I am using Sygate firewall.  I think
the problem has to do with the MAC addressing, that
when the router is hooked up, the ISP has trouble
finding the MAC it is looking for.  
Thanks,
Nancy
