The issue is resolved. It was those new Linksys presentation players that we set up in the conference rooms last Friday set up as a private dhcp server. Guess that doesn't work how I expected. Thanks for all the help!

IPCONFIG release/renew only got us only another crippled address at first, but then after about 15 mins (at around 10:30 am) it was successful in getting an unrestricted IP 35.10 address. This seems to point to some problem with the campus DHCP service that got fixed, except it sounds like your problem occurred AFTER ours did. Hmmm... Tom Thomas P.
