      Why a software router? Is this in a VM?

      Do any SMBs do this? Routers in VMs are common in the Datacenter. But in the SMB you usually only have edge routers, which you probably don't want your WAN connection connected up to a Vswitch/vNic as there is potential for exposure if there is any flaw in the Host OS.

        Then a basic trouble shooting step.

        Plug something else in and see if it pulls an address.

        Of note, if it is a commodity cable service, they bind to the MAC and the modem will have to be rebooted in order to pull and IP on a new device.

          Try leaving the modem off for 5-10 min too. Sometimes the Tables in the Carrier network need to be cleared and your all good after that.

            Instead of wandering around the actual issue as @scottalanmiller is doing.

            What do you mean? I'm awaiting the config file to be provided. I'm not wandering around in the least. Look at my first posts. I'm waiting for the troubleshooting info.

              Monday morning and back at it. Anyway, ifcfg-eth2

               cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
              DEVICE=eth2
              TYPE="Ethernet"
              ONBOOT="yes"
              USERCTL="no"
              BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
              PEERDNS="yes"
              

              I wonder if it could be a missing hardware address, gonna go lookup the MAC and add that in.
