MacBook Airport address of 10.0.1.2

[pinion]

I have a Linksys WRT54g v6 running DD-WRT v24. The AP is 192.168.1.1 and I've been using my macbook with it for well over a year with no problems under DHCP. Now it gets an IP of 10.0.1.2 saying my router is at 10.0.1.1. I repaired permissions emptied caches. Pretty much run the Cocktail pilot twice. Rebooted several times and tried manually inputting the address. Manual input doesn't work. I can't even ping the router so it's not DNS. So I'm kind of at a loss. Wired internet is working fine from this router. Don't know about wireless on anything else.

When you say the AP is 192.168.1.1 what are you talking about?

My wireless access point. It's also the Gateway/router etc...

Login to your router. Your basic setup page should look something like this. Your start IP address can be anything higher than 192.168.1.2, but don't go higher than 192.168.1.250 since the max is 192.168.1.254 and you will probably want at least 4 dynamic IP addresses. You can set your maximum users to whatever you want.

That's what I had. I restored defaults and changed the SSId and it seems to be working now. My old SSID is still showing up... That's weird. Earlier it would work for a bit and then revert back to the 10.0.1.2 though so we will see.

Also, do you have encryption on or MAC address filtering on? If so, check the settings on both of those as well.

Another thing to try is to log in to the MacBook as another user and see if that fixes the problem.
