Anthony,

Maybe here is a clue.

When wired ethernet, I have a MAC and IP address and:

Netmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.2.1
DNS1    192.168.2.1

When connected by ethernet cable to wireless adapter:

MAC and IP address OK
Netmask 255.255.0.0
Gateway 0.0.0.0
DNS1    0.0.0.0

Adapter is set for DHCP.

Does this shed any light?
