dhcpd is the dhcp *server*; you probably want (mean?) dhclient, the dhcp client. Presumably the wireless router should be your dhcp server.

If you give it the correct ip to ping (ping -n) does it work? It could be the laptop is just having DNS issues, which could be a seperate internal config thing (diff /etc/nsswitch.conf on both machines). - Rob .
