Please post (sanitized versions of) the "Interfaces" and "Routing 
tables" sections of '/status.php' from your m0n0wall router.

'Status no carrier' and 'Media none' are not good signs (or are, 
depending on how you look at it). I don't know how you got an address in 
that case. Perhaps your ethernet cable came unplugged after you got an IP?
