That does sound interesting! I wonder if it's not a problem with your router...

I've noticed that with my WRT54G v6 and dd-wrt my iBook doesn't always report its host name to the DHCP controller (and I somehow get 3 separate IP addresses for a single MAC address).

Since it's working now, try enabling logging on your router and monitor what happens between now and (if) the next time it stops working.
