hmm. How very bizarre.

When you do ifconfig is it now showing the same mac address on the new Mac as it is on the old one? (just to confirm that the sudo command has worked).

If the mac addresses are the same, this tends to point to a problem with the Mac (bizarre as it seems) because if the two devices have the same mac address, as far as the cable modem and the network are concerned they are the same device.

I don't suppose on the intel Mac you have bootcamp installed and dual boot with XP or Vista do you?
