Unable to allocate IP wireless network

[M Jones]

I have a wireless network and can get my 2 wireless devices to see each
other
and associate but I can't get a correct IP address allocated via DHCP on my
client machine. I've even tried allocating static IP's but this doesn't
seem to work either.

I don't think it makes much difference but I'm using an Actiontec 802.11b
USB on my client machine and a Belkin 802.11g USB on my main Internet
machine. I've had no problems configuring either and I've even turned on
encryption and everything seems great so I don't think the problem lies
there.

At the moment I'm a bit stuck because it doesn't work using DHCP or static
IP. I've tried pinging from one machine to the other both ways but only get
timeouts. Does anybody know what I can do next?

Thanks.

Had this problem. I got rather bizarre DHCP assigned addresses for
clients. Kept renewing connection until it worked. Obviously a less
than perfect routine for correction.
