Thanks for jumping in. BTW, ATT says I'm not connected to the network

http://192.168.1.254. Doesn't seem likely to me but that's what they
say. How does one determine if they are connected to another wifi
network besides there own?

I think the explanation of the wrong wireless network makes sense. If
network manager is still installed, it may have undone your static setup
and used DHCP on the other network. How did you do the manual setup for
the wireless part? Can you post your /etc/network/interfaces file?

To find out which wireless network you are using, click on the nm-applet
icon (2 computers). There you should see the wireless networks. Each
network has a bar for the signal level and the network name on the right
of the bar. On the left of the bar there should be an x in the line of
the network which is used.
