Thanks for the reply, John.
Actually, I did - I checked each with "ifconfig" and I also logged into my
Dlink router to see what was registering there - thats how I found that his
had a different MAC address than it did before. I still don't know what
happened but it could be easily something similar to what you said. After
all, this is an adventuresome (read click-happy) 13 year old. <grin>
Anyways, I'll watch it for awhile and if it does it again I'm replacing it.
(about $10 for a Linksys at the local Wal-mart).
