I switched from a static ip address to DHCP. Now my Windows 2000 PC cannot connect to the wireless network. It gets stuck on the step "acquiring an address".

Some background. When I originally got service from Sonic.net, I got a static ip address. This seemed to cause two problems. First, only one device at a time could be connected to the wireless network. Second, every time I wanted to connect my PC to the wireless network I first had to "repair" the wireless connection.

To try to solve these problems I switched to DHCP. All my other wireless devices can now connect to the network at the same time but my PC now has no wireless connectivity. One other note my PC can use a wired connection to the modem.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.
