Did you clear the ip addreses? I use the command below together with ifupdown:

#|ip addr flush dev wlan0|

Another way might be to force DHCP client release your ip:

# dhclient -r wlan0

# rm|/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.wlan0.leases (!! Not sure about the name of the
file storing the leases)|

# dhclient wlan0

This way you reacquire a fresh ip from the DHCP server.||

HTH,
