Specifically, tell us about the pc involved, and its full IP config. I
could
give you some samples of how-to, but, not knowing if it's running
linux,
windows, osx, whatever ... You know.

As applicable, then tell us about the wireless client manager, and
what information it's providing.

Oh ... IP config for ethernet port AND for wireless adapter, lest
there
be doubt.
