Stuck/Confused IP Address after switching networks on my MBP

I recently started having the following problem:

After disconnecting from a friend's airport network, and then connecting my MBP to a different, wired network, the MBP gets confused about it's IP address, and loses all internet connectivity. Specifically:

- The Network Pref pane reports the IP address to be 192.168.2.8, and the router to be 192.168.2.1, which is reasonable.
- Network Utility reports the IP address of the en0 interface tp be 192.168.2.1 (same as the router)! No wonder nothing works! the utility WakeOnLan also reports 192.168.2.1 as the MBP's address.

I'm not sure what I've changed on the system to cause the problem. None of the following help:
- unplug/replug cable
- renew DHCP lease
- use manual IP address in Network Pref pane

Restarting the system seems to fix the problem.

If I can connect to an Airport network, that works (if I disconnect the ethernet cable).

Any ideas on the problem?

Is there any way to reset the machine's IP address at a low enough level to fix the problem w/out rebooting? I'm familiar w/ Terminal.

15" MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz, Mac OS X (10.5.3)

certain routers can cause this problem and this is not always a mac problem. The way to resolve this is to create a network location for your home network and use the default Automatic location for when you connect to other networks.

I've tried this, doesn't help. I also tried creating locations w/different settings (DHCP, DHCP + manual address).

Any other ideas from anyone?

Some more info:

My router is a Belkin F5D7230-4; latest firmware. I've been using it for over a year w/no problems until upgrading to Leopard 10.5.3 (now 10.5.4).

The problem usually shows when I change networks I'm connected to. But, after just upgrading to 10.5.4 and rebooting, networking was broken again, and again WakeOnLan and Network Utility showed my Mac with the same IP as the router: http://192.168.2.1, while the Network pref pane showed a valid IP address.

Another reboot fixed the problem.

I was hoping 10.5.4 might fix the problem, but no luck (I did the combo update).

OK - had it happen again. Following are several logs, separated by #############

Notes: I'd recently installed VMWare Fusion; became suspicious of that and uninstalled it after step 3), but it made no difference (Bad IP address even after rebooting).

I also have Parallels installed (latest version), it's certainly possible that it's causing a problem, though I never had problems till recently. Haven't tried uninstalling that yet.
