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).
