I wonder if your wireless NIC doesn't have a fixed MAC?  And whether
you're identifying differently than you used to?

If so, and your network is set to tie IPs to MACs, you wouldn't get what
you'd expect.  Their DHCP server will see you as someone different, and
give you a different IP, or refuse to give you one.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
