Issue resolved. Thanks for the offer mazedk and Zich, I do appreciate your time reading my posts. However, the user Prelude HAS GONE OUT OF HIS WAY AND SPENT MULTIPLE HOURS ON TEAM VIEWER TONIGHT HELPING ME OUT. He was able to change my IP back to it's original state before my ISP changed it on me, which in turn let my network recognize all of the devices, including the antminer, once again. Again, HUGE THANKS to PRELUDE, model member to this community and the internet in general. This post was in frustration - my miner has been working uninterrupted for over a year, and then my ISP changed my address on me. After a few days of tinkering, I just decided to post. I didn't actually consider that this was the internet, I guess. Either way - Thanks for not messing my stuff up too bad, I suppose.
Just for reference - My antminer is connected via ethernet to a linksys hub switch in my room. The hub switch is then connected to the modem with a cable, which is then connected to the wireless router which I do not use. I wasn't able to access my modem, so we bypassed it and connected my cable straight to the router. This gave us the access we needed to be able to change my IP back. The issue was, I couldn't access my antminer because the ip was changed.
Thanks for the kind words.
Was happy to help!
Yeah, the issue was:
Modem ---> Switch ---> Ant instead of
Modem ---> Router ---> Switch ---> Ant
