Phil, What are the outputs of "ifconfig -a" and "netstat -D". Also I'm curious to know what kind of hardware you are using for your wifi/DHCP server. I created bug 6398382 (Unable to get DHCP to work over iwi (ipw2200)), so I'm trying to see if you experienced the same problem that I did. Right now, I don't have a good handle on what conditions trigger the problem. tom
