Well, I can't rule out the possibility. Everything I've done with 
Comcast has been through Moto Surfboards, which are known among the 
Comcast folks for generally being less trouble than the other brands 
(off the record, of course). I can't rule out the possibility that other 
modems react differently to the circumstances than the ones I've had 
experience with, though it wouldn't make much sense to lock up and stop 
bridging after something so simple as a nic change. /shrugs

Doesn't matter - power cycling should have been ineffective on both 
systems concerning access. On one, the NIC doesn't matter, on the other, 
it needs to be reregistered; that's really all that changed.

Anyway, at this point, this tangent is no longer helpful to the OP, so 
I'm done with it. Hope something useful has been garnered.
