I am not using my neighbors wireless. The machine is hard-wired to the router but does not use the router as a DHCP server. It did until this morning but now it does not. How does one change that behavior?
Check the configuration of the router. You can also try to reset the router. Outside of giving the machine a static IP address, there is not much you can do on the machine. This is NOT a problem with the Linux machine - it is a router problem.
If you want to know why this is a router problem, find some good documentation on how DHCP works. The machine making the request responds to the first DHCP server that replies...
