I have seen this happen when my isp has to regroup (i know there is a
propper term for this) several subnets to gain performance, a few ip's
will be lost off of a subnet and a few new ones gained, i have seen my
ip go from 24.116.x.x to 24.226.x.x so if the ip you had was put into
another subnet then its possible the DHCP server did get it knickers in
a twist.
