Thanks Danny, Steve, Jim, and Eric. The problem has gone away after a
reboot. I've had several problems recently where it seems that my WinXP
notebook doesn't get off on the right foot during boot. I'm suspecting that
it is always a matter of not getting the DHCP IP for some reason. Last time
it was Zone Alarm telling me that it had detected a new wireless network
169.254.0.0.

Is there a log file that might tell me what goes on when it doesn't work?
