In the last month I've been having major problems with DHCP, on
everything wireless, laptops, squeezeboxen, phones, everything. With
several different routers, from different companies, and on several
different networks I frequent. 

Its gotten so bad I put static IPs on everything in my house, which
fixes the local problem, but doesn't work when you take a laptop to a
different network.

The only thing I can come up with is that wifi interference is getting
so bad that the default timeouts for DHCP negotiation are too short and
things just give up. 

The last holdout was an SB3 that has been working on WiFi for years
finally refused to connect and my wife was ready to take a sledge
hammer to it. Going to static fixed the problem and it runs fine now. 

Given that everything wireless that I have has been experiencing these
problems I don't think its necessarily a squeezebox issue.
