Just to confirm that you have done things in this order:

1. Power everything off
2. Leave for a few minutes
3. Power CM back up and leave until lights settle
4. Plug router into CM and tunr router power on, leave until lights settle
5. Connect PC to router, boot PC up

There shouldn't be any need to put the MAC address of the old PC into the router. The CM will re-register itself to the MAC address of the router when you turn the router on during the above steps.

Just confirm that you've done as suggested above and then we'll explore more options.

Would also be useful if you could tell us what model of router you have, what operating system (OS) you are running with, and could you also confirm the connections that you have (ie which machines to the router, how many machines, exactly where the problem lies etc).

Also, do you have a firewall of any sort running?
