many thanks for all your help so far

Unfortunately, this is not normally related to the physical slots, its a software setting on the router... - you can normally support up to 256 addresses on the dhcp client (although some are normally configured for broadcast use) but it seems that the router manufacturers assme that for home networks you will only need a few.
If you telnet to the router, there should be a tab for dhcp (may say dhcp server), this normally has a maximum number of devices (my linksys was set to 3..)
what sort of router is it? I'll try to find out where you check it..
It looks to me like everything is working from the wireless point of view, but the router is not able to service the dhcp request.
