   Thanks Richard Johnson for the checklist on resetting
   the DNS address.  That list of instructions should be
   in the notebook of anyone working on PC networks.

     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
