I found it was related to APM on the laptop. The laptop goes to sleep
and later is woken up and has a different IP. I think that the DHCP
server in the linksys still thinks that the initial connection is still
active. In any case, I use a static IP on the laptop, and use profiles
to change to various other locations.
