Really depends on your router. If it's set up for DHCP it may assign a different address to the MAC every time you disconnect/reconnect it to the network. Does not break anything, just does not allow you to map the box as a permanent network drive. You'd have the same issue with an XP laptop.

I have found that home routers are usually pretty good about assigning the same address every time so it's not an issue.

Or ou could just set things up with a static address for the Mac.
