I have a wireless device (Intermec Scanner) and can't get it to obtain an IP address automatically. I've set up DHCP with plenty of available ip's.
When the device tries to obtain automatically, it gives it the 127.0.0.1 loopback address and cannot get on the network.
I have other devices that log-on with no problem.

Hope somebody has experienced this problem before and knows the resolution.
I appreciate the help.

Check to make sure your wireless network and the scanner are using the same topology (aka 802.11b or g) and that a firewall is not blocking the scanner when it tries to connect. Also, if your network is password protected, make sure everything with the scanner is setup to transmit the correct passwords so it can get on.
