I am running Win XP on a Dell Inspiron 8200 (the machine
with the new hard disk). It uses a Belkin 54g wireless
notebook card. The router is a Belkin 54g wireless
router connected to the Internet via a BellSouth cable
modem.

For some strange reason (on both machines) Start | Run
ipconfig ... does not work. The DOS box pops up and
disappears so quickly I cannot read its text, and there
is no ipconfig.txt on the hard disk.
