Dumb question - have you checked the network connection? See if
changing the cable or the port on the switch helps. It seams strange
that the external IP address changing would cause this, but for some
strange reason hardware problems totally unrelated to the change
seam to pick that time to happen.
One thing I have noticed in /var/log/messages is it's full of these:
'kernel: [53379.147068] power_supply hid-00:1e:52:f9:5d:dc-battery:
driver failed to report `capacity' propert y: -5'
Hundreds & hundreds of lines.
More pertinent are probably these lines:

These came out at about roughly the same time as Thunderbird was
complaining about 'no netowrk connection'
