Sorry to be pedantic- you do mean manual ip, apply etc. ?

There is a (rather dated) procedure from Apple <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106879>
that involves resetting the interface. Again a typical change-it then change-it-back tactic that goes back at least to when I started using Macs in 1987

I've nailed my colours to the mast:
"Mac enthusiasts want to be shielded from the awesome power of Unix by the Mac GUI. If we can't solve this without "sudo" then we're in deep trouble!"

The tactics I advocate talk directly to the Unix layer but do so via the Mac OS X GUI, leaving less room for error.

BTW why are you still on 10.4.7?
NB It would be v.informative if the router worked _without_ being cloned with a machine MAC
