please check the netmasks everywhere on the router, on the machine and on other local machines.
well... "the router" is a actually out of my reach. it's a fios set up. the netmask for all the machines is 255.255.255.0 so the actual router is somewhere in the building. i guess. we just got 13 ips assigned to the office but it's not like a subnet set up. there is a box in the office before the machines but my guess is it's not really a router... i do not have access to it either. does this make any sense?

compare the output of arp -a in both states.
(you can use a script to capture it while 'asleep')

I see two possibilities:
1/ the 'box in the office' needs to be told about your machine or
2/ there is an arp/IP clash or netmask misconfiguration.
what is the new IP address you are using (compared to to the old one).
it's not .0 or .15 or anything silly right?



thanks again for sticking with this...
