While you are at it, could you tell us what happened to your earlier query of Reliance working only on one machine not both? After people take interest to solve a problem, if there is no final result, it gets confusing. In case I have missed something, my apologies in advance. :-)

No, reliance is working pretty well. I've only tried it on one machine. As usual customer care is the pits. I _had_ to go to a friend's place to use his windows machine to activate the usb modem. After that it's working liek a charm with wvdial.
When I tried to register my phone number on the reliance website, it gave me an error that the number was already registered. :(
What Reliance service and device are you using? Why the USB modem? Did you try cloning the MAC id of the other machine with the one that works? Its a simple solution. Add the line hwaddress ether [mac id] to your eth device in the /etc/network/interfaces file.
eg:
auto eth0 dhcp iface eth0 inet dhcp hwaddress ether 02:01:02:03:04:08
