I was thinking it may be something along those lines. The tech has 
changed the address on my machine. The address is still dynamically 
assigned, but you can get to it by typing in the same address. I am not 
sure exactly what he did; I know he gets the address from the dchp server.

Anyway, here is locale:

LANG=
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
