As funny as that sounds that is the first thing I thought of too.
Then I thought it could be my laptop. My desktop worked fine, it
running Fedora. My kids pcs were fine too, they are xp computers. then I
checked my handheld and it would not connect either.
I was a little suspect of my Linksys router because it had an issue with
not handing out dhcp addresses @ one time. The quick solution was to
give my desktop and the kids pcs static info. I reset eventually got
around to resetting the router back to factory defaults and setting up
all the configs I wanted and it had no more issues handing out
addresses.
Fortunately I never turned dhcp back on my computers. I checked the dns
info with what was in my laptop and they were different. I specified
static dns addresses for my linksys to hand out and renewed my info on
my laptop and my handheld and they are both working again.
Here are the ips that were giving me issues
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 68.87.64.140
68.87.66.135
Here are the ips that I replaced them with
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 68.87.64.196
68.87.66.196
68.80.0.12
I even thought that someone may have jacked the linksys or it got its
dhcp from some rogue server but the ip looks like a comcast one...
nslookup 68.87.64.140
Server: 68.87.64.196
Address: 68.87.64.196#53
Non-authoritative answer:
140.64.87.68.in-addr.arpa name = spdns.inflow.pa.bo.comcast.net.
Thanks for all the replies,
