There's only one setting I can think of and that's the gateway.

I looked at the DNS setup, changed the DNS server a few times with no 
improvement.

That kind of error is always possible, but I don't believe that was the 
problem. When I started trying to fix things yesterday the sb's were on 
dhcp. I switched to manual ip  on a different (free) ip address with no 
improvement.

When I get home from work, I'll try changing the gateway back on one of 
the players to see if the problem returns. I'll let you know the result.

There are mechanism to block access by IP but not by MAC. The IP address 
of the SB doesn't change when the packets are routed over the server. 
I'll have a further look at things this evening.
