 Linksys WMP54G Problem

OK,
I seem to have an ongoing problem that needs resolved. I am running windows 2000, office 2000 pro (full), McAfee 8, (I had 7, no diff. on prob.). Anyway the software is installed off the cd... Yes, tried the soft off the site (It didn't work at all.) WEP 128 is enabled (Corp Network guys). The code is in right. Strong Sig., connects, but won't obtain an IP (DHCP)... Using Linksys 802.11B AP, Linux Box doing dhcp (yes the other pc's work)... Yes, Infrastructure... So, I forced a number... I can ping other pc's on the network, but DNS isn't working, so no Internet... BTW, I just reinstalled windows... (worm) had a ghost image, so everything got overwritten.
It may be McAfee, No I can't/won't use anything else. It could also be a bad card (but i have a connection and good sig.)

Suggestions???

 Well I think I understand your problem. I have a WMP54G and had a similar problem. DHCP was not working. If you disable it and give it an IP you can get in. DNS isn't working because since DHCP isn't enabled your DNS servers IP aren't being sent. Just get your DNS servers from your router or a working computer and put them in. The thing that got DHCP working for me was upgrading from Windows 98SE to Windows 2000 SP4.
