I wonder if your wireless NIC doesn't have a fixed MAC? And whether you're identifying differently than you used to? If so, and your network is set to tie IPs to MACs, you wouldn't get what you'd expect. Their DHCP server will see you as someone different, and give you a different IP, or refuse to give you one. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
