Yes You Did

A MAC address is a unique serial number (of sorts) for ethernet Cards. The intention of assigning a unique address to every card is to aid in identifying computers on networks and the internet. If Two Identical MAC's existed on a network, they wouldn't work.

By changing your Motherboard with an on-board Ethernet port, you changed the MAC address.

You will have to request that MTU generate a new serial number for the new MAC address. I had the same problem, called them and they assisted me.
