This sounds like a problem I was having a while ago
where I couldn't get a new IP via DHCP because the
lease was still bound to the MAC address of the other
NIC I was using (acronyms are great). Use the NIC that
was originally in that machine (if you aren't
already), and maybe that'll allow you to get online.

ping will be your best friend in trying to see if the
network is correct. See if you can ping QWest from the

IPCop box.
