Not getting DHCP address via WAP

Can you provide the AP config please?

What you can do is try and configure the ip helper-address to be your DHCP server.

usually when you have DHCP problems with Wireless it could be a problem with the wireless setup. If you connect to the wireless and put in a static ip that is on the wireless lan and you are unable to ping or get to the dhcp server then the wireless setup could be wrong on the client. It could be as simple as fat fingered password.

Do you have DHCP helpers on your switch, have you set up separate vlans for the wireless?

I have not setup separate vlans for wireless.  AP configuration is 128 bit WEP with SSID being broadcast, nothing complicated at all.
I have tried changing to 64 bit wep as it is a bit easier to type in the password.  This did not seem to help at all though.

It is most likely not your encryption but your vlan configuration.  Do you have the DHCP helpers in the configuration of the vlan (this is a cisco thing, not sure what switches you have).

I do not have the DHCP helpers in the vlan config (I have Cisco switches as well).  The reason I tried the Linksys box in the configuration was to rule out the Cisco APs.

Switch(or at least a cisco switch) will drop DHCP broadcast. Hence, as long as your workstations and DHCP server is seperated by a switch, ip helper setting on the switch is necessary.

Why has this worked for 4 years on those switches and now all of a sudden it doesn't?

Config change or maybe ios upgrade most likely

I would say network change, because i believe switch blocking dhcp broadcast is not a recent thing..

The two things that changed from last week to this week are:
1. We switch external DNS servers from Choice One to Network Solutions
2. We upgraded from Trend Office Scan 7.3 to Office Scan 8.0

Can you paste the the output of a sh ver

To troubleshoot if it's a trendmicro problem, try to get into safemode with networking and see if problem persists?
