DHCP problem

I have recently installed a 3Com wireless adsl router and PC card. I have
the router connected to the ADSL line; my desktop connected by cable to the
router; and my laptop connected to the router using the wireless PC card.
The desktop cable connection works fine, high speed, all OK.
But with the laptop, some odd things are happening - of which the most
reproduceable is that:
a) on power up and loading XP Pro on the laptop, the wireless card (which is
set to get ip address from DHCP) deafults to a errro condition set IP
address. When I do a repair on the card, I get the message "DHCP Failure".
b) if I then connect a cable between laptop and router, and enable the
ethernet port, DHCP allocates the ethernet port the correct address.
c) if then I do a repair on the wireless card, DHCP works OK and all is
well.
d) I then disconnect the cable between laptop and router, and load IE6, and
it gets settings sorted and I am wireless fully again, both LAN and Internet
through router gateway.

I have downloaded the latest driver from the £Com site, and have checked all
the known problems with the wireless PC card, without avail.

So, I start to suspect XP rather than the card.

Anyone with any ideas - please let me know...at leats I have a bypass, using
the cable to sort of get me started...but its not ideal.
