Which Network are you trying to connect to?

If you are using the Sprint card, is it a dual mode card? ie GPRS/WiFi? Sprint would be giving you a different range IP address. The IAH Clubs WiFi would be giving you a 192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x address. As otheres have mentioned, this looks like an APIPA (internal to your machine) address. It doesn't look like you are getting an address from any ourside source.
