I'm sorry for the moron crack, it was totally uncalled for. I guess it 
takes one to know one. 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.
