You say you set it for static ip, why not auto? Always worked for me, never had to use a static ip when connecting to any of my routers.
Assuming your router is set to generate ips automatically.

Here is an update of the problem....I found that my network settings are not being saved and that seems to be the main problem. If I use System>Network and set the wireless connection to use WPA2, and enter the password - the connection works. Sometime later the connection drops and when I look at network settings it is set for WPA (so there is no connection.) I also get the following message when I boot:
Could not lookup Internet address for sony1.
This will prevent xfce from operating correctly
It may be possible to correct the problem by adding sony1 to the file /etc/hosts This is a home networks with 2 other XP computers behind a Dlink router set to use static IPs - and everything works fine except the problem described here with xubuntu. Below is hosts file, and output from ifconfig, and route.
