Hello, I'm in despirate need of some help with a recurring issue. I have a Powerbook G4 and anytime I attempt to connect wirelessly to my companies SonicWALL Sonicpoint access point, I get the following error:

IP CONFIGURATION
172.16.100..x in use by 0:6:b1:2:48:x, DHCP Server 172.16.100.1

I used X's there for two reasons, a) I didn't want to post this MAC address, and b) because where I used it in the IP address, it changes everytime. I have this problem every single time with my Powerbook. I tried a different Powerbook once and it had the same issue. There are Windows laptops that connect to this wirelessly and they have no problems, only the MACs.

When i take the powerbook home it connects to my linksys wireless router wiht out issue. There are also no issues if I use the wired ethernet on the powerbook.

Thanks in advance.
