[Nottingham] WIFI Hardware

[Danny King]

Hi, sorry for the bleated reply.

I can't connect to the AP's setup page, nope. As far as I can tell,
nothing changed before/after my holidays. The manual states the AP's
default IP is 192.168.0.227 (which is on the same subnet as my router
and other boxes) but which is also the IP of my main machine.

It should be given a new IP automatically though - so I think that
something is going wrong with the DNS.

Any hints?
