So there was a short period of time where things didn't work right. Perhaps your DHCP server was responding slowly? Just a thought...
Thanks JW - it's WPA, so not sure this could be possible. But, considering this is the first time it's happened, and a disconnect and re-connect resolved the problem, it was an isolated event. I would be curious if this happens to anyone else, though!
