Hi Rod As long as you're wireless network is locked down with password, then that message is "generally" fine. I get that here sometimes if one of my machines goes to sleep but doesn't realise the IP Address correctly. (Or if I'm out on a similar network to home). Then when I come back, or the machine wakes up, it has the same IP address as is already there. Like you, I just do a restart on the router or Airport and all is good. I could manually set them all, but I find automatic works fine 99% of the time. And everything is locked down and I hide the SSID (Wireless name), so feel pretty ok with the network ;o)
Hope that helps.
