Current network card is the same as the one I used in my previous firewall
(smoothwall)... so I don't think this is the problem..
I am using the same CAT5 cable as I did before.

Can it be that the WAN interface is set up wrong..
I am also going to try to change PCI location for the WAN NIC on the
motherboard.. Maby it will help...
Is there a way to check link status (cable status) in m0n0wall system
web-pages. (This could be a nice feature if it does not exist..)

I was just about to say the same thing. Under the Interfaces:Wan page is a
text box you can enter your old pc mac address.

While it's not the case now, in the past my broadband provider used mac
addresses as an ACL.
