If the machines are on the same subnet the router is not involved.  The
only way the MAC would be an issue is if the machine were talking to each
other before the move (which it seems they weren't).  And the reboot to
change the subnet mask (assuming MS Windows) cleared out the local arp
cache anyway.  We are all just pissing in the wind until Mr. Blackmore
comes back with more info.
