I've just gotten a new computer, and I'm having issues connecting to either my home wireless or work network. When at home I put in the WEP and it says it's connected, giving me an internal IP address of 192.168.1.112. I can confirm that it's connected to my linksys router successfully because I can access the router configuration, but the new computer isn't in the DHCP client table.

I'm writing this from a different computer on the same wireless network, so it's not an internet connection issue.

When I connect to the work network it says it's connected successfully, but gives this SAME IP address. Still, I'm not able to access the interweb.

I've released and renewed through IP config (and rebooted the machine) to no avail. It's like it's stuck with this internal IP address and won't realize that it needs to acquire a new one when it reconnects to the network. Anyone seen this before and know how to correct?

Think I solved it. The TCP/IP settings for my wireless adapter were not set to automatically obtain an IP address and DHCP. Set it to auto obtain and now it's working correctly. Still not sure why it would have been set to this to begin with, and why it was previously working . . .
