This network thing has me totally whacked! I appreciate the tip of using a static IP, I'm about to give it a try. OK, I'M THE MORON I started the laptop, the network was off (as usual). I poked the nm-applet and turned on the wireless. IT WORKED ! I've tried this at least 20 times before and it never worked, now it worked fine. Maybe it had something to do with removing NetworkManager and then reinstalling it. I don't really have a clue. Thanks to everyone who offered help.
