You may have bumped into "security measures" i.e. your new AT&T Broadband
account may be tied to a given MAC address. A quickie test: Pull the router
out and try directly connecting one, then the other Win2k machine to check for
this.
[This was the reason for one of the firmware updates on the Linksys BEFSR41
appliance: You can assign the WAN port any MAC address to spoof the ISP.]
Hope this helps!
