  • It seems like the problem has been solved.
    I decided to not only switch off the router and the client machines, but also disconnect the Ethernet cables. That seems to have worked.
    My analysis is, that powering off a client while keeping the network cable in place may leave enough current from the router network card to keep the memory of the client card active. If you subsequently power off the router, it will preserve the latest config info from the client card's memory. Thus, after restarting the router it will use the old memory.
    I don't know whether this makes enough sense to explain my problem, but the problem seems to be over now. Thanks again for the help. -- Roel
