Oh well. I still think it's giving you a funky address, but maybe they
do NAT on it. I'd try the other dhcp clients I mentioned. And I think
maybe it only lets you use one ethernet card, if you had that other
computer hooked up to it before. You could try swapping cards with it,
or using 'ifconfig hw ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff' to set your NIC to the
hardware address of the W2k machine's NIC. But that's probably a long
shot.

To make sure your iptables is clear enough to test, you can do:
iptables -F
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
I can't think of anything else that might help, unless you can find some
posts on usenet about using similar ISPs with Linux.
