Can't access local network

I having a problem accessing computers in my local network.  I cannot ping or connect to my server (192.162.1.104) or the router.  Internet works perfectly though and right now I am having to access my server though its dyndns name.  Any ideas on what could be causing this?

my ifconfig if it helps:

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:13:02:E0:86:A8
          inet addr:192.168.1.102  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::213:2ff:fee0:86a8/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:254697 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:223895 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:239207085 (228.1 Mb)  TX bytes:81025756 (77.2 Mb)

and route:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 wlan0
default         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 wlan0

Re: Can't access local network

I suppose that there is a typo and that the server IP address is 192.168.1.104 and not 192.162.1.104
Aside from that, do you have the server name and IP in your /etc/hosts? If you do not I cannot see a way for your machine to locate it in the LAN.

Re: Can't access local network

yes, that was a typo.

And I have not done anything with my hosts file.  I am not trying to access it by servername, just by the ip address.  Same with the router.  I usually just type http://192.168.1.1 and the router password prompt pops up.  I dual boot and it works fine in windows.  It also worked fine with my other router at school.  Could a recent package update have broken it?

Re: Can't access local network

Perhaps... wireless connections are wonky at times. Try installing wicd and give it a try, see if it helps.
