Hmm. Just out of curiosity, I turned WEP back off. Now it got an IP
address. 

I had 2 different people look at the WEP key I entered, and they
thought it looked exactly like the one on my router config and my
laptop: then I had them try entering it: nothing (I did this to try to
eliminate user error as the cause-- clearly this might not have worked,
but I don't think the probability of that being the case is terribly
high). 

Interestingly, I only turned WEP on yesterday, at a friend's insistence
(I do have mac address filtering on, though). 

The several months I had the squeezebox working, I had the network
open. I realize this is a security hole, but my attitude is that anyone
who can break through my firewall to do anything really bad is perfectly
capable of breaking through the wep.

So I guess I'll go back to having an open network for now (the idea of
going back to a cd player is so unpleasant that I'd much prefer going
back to leaving my network open :)).

Thanks everybody for all the help.
