Alan,

If you do not have your Access Point runing as a DHCP server and you 
don't have a DHCP server on your network then you need to use a fixed 
ip address.

A DHCP server will dish out ip addresses. 

If you are going to use fixed ip addresses then I'd stick to 
192.168.0.nnn 

Your machine is basically failing to contact a DHCP erver using 
information that it has from a previous request for an Ip address, so 
it's telling you but keeping the address and using it..

make sense?
