My aunt has a compaq laptop that has both an ethernet and internal wireless. She brought it over to the house and on the ethernet she gets a valid network address of 192.168.10.8 or something else on the ethernet. When obtaining a DHCP address on the WIRELESS portion of the z100G (unplugged from the ethernet) she gets an address of 192.168.10.255. The 255 address is invalid because it's a network address. I'm leaning towards that it's a windows issue but has anyone seen this before. I have several other wireless devices that do not have a problem.

*.255 is the broadcast address and should be reserved, check your DHCP settings. Work around would be to reserve a block of IPs and then hard code an address in Windows, set DNS and the Default Gateway to your Z100G's IP.
