lan_network_address. If you're using DHCP it should be set
automatically to something like 192.168.1.x. If you're not you have to
set it manually, but it has to be unique - you can't set it to an
address already used by the server.

That's an autoconf IP, it means that you have it set to use DHCP (which
is fine) but the DHCP is failing. That usually means it's not connecting
to the network properly (WEP key error I would guess). The fact that it
works wired would back that up.

ipconfig /all would say "DHCP enabled: yes" on Windows.

Then that sounds right.

Yes but you can't copy the IP, it has to be unique (but of the form
192.186.1.x). If you're using DHCP on the network but you want to set
one manually it has to be outside the DHCP range to avoid collisions. To
keep it simple, use static everywhere or DHCP everywhere.

I was just reading what you said in the last line of your post.

The server's IP.

No


Recommendation - disable WEP (it doesn't do any good anyway) and try
the setup without any network security. That will prove the basics are
working, then enable WPA and use that. I've often seen issues with WEP
key errors where the device think's it's connected but it isn't (which
would explain the blue light).
