This sounds a lot like this report:

Thanks for the pointer. This is indeed exactly the problem I'm seeing.
That report specifies firmware version 22. I'm running 28, so
apparently the bug has been in several versions. Is version 28 the
latest?
I'm not sure, actually. I would have said it was working fine for me
before, but I've only recently attempted a static assignment. I may
not have noticed since it just got an dynamic IP as expected. I have
been using a Belkin PreN and it is very bad at listing the current
leases. With a WRT54G, using the wifi-box firmware, I can tell for
sure that it is the same 'wrong' ip in the table as is listed in the
bug. FW28 is all that I've tested.
i've had the same issue, as far as MAC. The difference in my case it
that it does eventually get a dynamic IP, and works. The router has
a static IP assignment set up, but that is not the resulting IP.
I assume this was with Ethernet/WiFi bridging enabled?
That is correct. I'm bridging a SBG through an SB2, FW28. It gets an
IP as well, and can play tracks. i do have some odd network hiccups,
but I'm currently blaming that on my ISP dropouts and the PreN's
horrible ability to deal with a missing WAN.
When you say that you eventually get a dynamic IP address, is it in
the block you normally use on your network, or is it in the 169.254
block? That's the "zeroconf" address block set aside for
self-assignment by hosts when they're unable to get an answer from a
DHCP server, and the Squeezebox seems to follow this convention as
well.
I have 192.168.1.34 as a static assignment for the mac address of the
player (listed on the bottom and in player settings). however, the
lease table shows an entry for 20:05:73:00:00:0C and has been given
192.168.1.100. i have 100-149 as a 7-day dynamic block of leases.
A regular visitor successfully gets the 101, and all other players and
computers properly get their assigned addresses from the static table.
None of the others use bridging. I would say that it isn't completely
broken, but may be part of the reason why the current FW is having
trouble with some routers.
