[BC] Networking question:

[RichardBJohnson at comcast.net]

Your router that assigns IP addressees using DHP probably
doesn't update the ARP cache or your DNS server. What this
means is that the old hardware address of your old ethernet
device is still stuck in your system.

With a Windows system, bring up the CMD prompt and execute

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns

If your machine has been set up properly for DHP, that should
fix it. If it hasn't just configure your network :
control panel
click: network connections
click: local area connections
click: properties
illuminate Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)
click: properties
click: Obtain an IP address automatically
click: Obtain DNS server automatically
click: OK
click: OK
