Firstly, your IP address will change when the Pi connects via wireless. This is because the Pi's WiFi adaptor has a different MAC address to the physical connector so your DHCP server will think it's a different device. You can find out the new IP address by resetting and saving your wireless setup using menu option 8, and then look on-screen as it connects and gets an IP address for wireless. See then if you can connect to the new IP address. If you can then my next question would be: what is the IP address of the Pi and what is the address of your server? The reason for asking is that they may be on different subnets which is what I've been doing. If they are, you have to specify the IP address of the server and, as you've probably read above, there's a bug in setting the IP address. But take one thing at a time. Try and get a connection via WiFi to your Pi.
