Hmm, something's not right. It should go:

1) Unplug PC #1
2) Power cycle modem (mains plug out, wait ten seconds, mains plug in)
3) Plug in PC #2

At which point the modem has forgotten the MAC of PC #1 and will happily forward requests from PC #2 to the DHCP server, which will lease it an IP.

So we need to know this - has PC #2 *ever* been able to get an IP? That strikes me as key.
