iPad getting wrong IP address from router?
I have a Netgear 11g router and connect just fine with my wireless laptops - IP addresses on the laptops are in the expected range (192.161.1.2-50 DHCP provided). All internet works fine.
So now I've just bought an iPad. It sees my named network, connects via DHCP successfully but the IP address listed by the iPad is not what I expected! It reflects 169.254.235.xxx (which is not the external ip, either).
I've tried many of the tricks listed on this site - Am broadcasting only 11g... have tried hardcoding static addresses... am a foot away from router... have done a refresh/reboots... but nothing works. Even tho the wireless connection appears in the menu bar, no apps can access the internet.
Help me Obi-wan. Why am I getting a different IP address than what I have enabled? You're my only hope.
