I do think that somehow, this hints at a possible cause of problems with the iPhone. It seems to me that it handles its IP address differently than do other devices. Windows XP or 7 on my computers seems to handle IP addresses in a truly dynamic fashion, so that when the machine powers down or sleeps, it acquires a new address from DHCP each time it powers back up (if a new address is necessary). By contrast, the iPhone seems to want to hold onto the same IP address indefinitely through sleep-wake cycles (because of the nature of its power state in contrast to a computer, I suppose). Sometimes, I think that while the iPhone is in sleep state (in which state it disconnects from WiFi and reverts to 3G), the router's DHCP server hands out an IP address to a computer that the iPhone is still holding on to, and then when the iPhone wakes up, there's a conflict and it doesn't know what to do to resolve it. This seems to be why renewing the lease or turning WiFi off, or resetting network settings seems to help.
