Thuse wiping and reinstalling your PC would have no effect, similarly changing MAC addy of a router or replacing a network card, has little chance of success.

Changing the MAC address of the device connected to the SACM/STB (e.g. the PC, or router, or whatever) can cause an IP change (as the DHCP server would see a different MAC address - a different device - connecting & asking for an IP).
