Changing IP address killed on board NIC...?

I have an Asus K8N4E-Deluxe motherboard running FC4
AMD64. I recently changed the IP address from
10.32.1.25 to 192.168.0.25. I was accessing the
system under the new IP address from a Windows system
via Samba, when suddenly the connection died, and the
network drive I had mapped was not available. I
couldn't even ping the IP address I had assigned the
onboard NIC. I did some testing, booted from a cd
[Suse 9.3 boot] that was supposed to grab a DHCP IP
address, and that failed. Has anyone hear of this
happening? The Windows PC accesses the Linux box by
it's name that I mapped from "My Network Places". The
name was constant where as the IP changed. Does
anyone else have this Motherboard? Have you
experienced any problems with it [besides the chipset
fan needing to be relubed]?
Thanx...
