DHCP activated ........................ : Yes
Automatic configuration activated : Yes
IP-address ............................... : 10.0.1
Networkmask ........................... : 255.255.255.0
Standard gateway ..................... : 10.0.0.138
DHCP-server ............................ : 10.0.0.138
DNS-servers ............................ : 10.0.0.138
Your problems are:

1) the IP address is wrong (although this could be a typo!!!). If the gateway and DHCP server is 10.0.0.138, netmask 255.255.255.0, then the IP address of your PC MUST be 10.0.0.x, where x is a number between 1 and 254 (except 138).

2) the DNS servers are listed as the same address as the gateway and DHCP server - this is an error.

Either the DHCP server (your Wireless Access Point / router) is wrongly configured, or your PC is wrongly configured. The PC should have both "obtain IP address" and "obtain DNS servers" set to automatic. Or both manually entered. This is in the network settings for the wireless card.

You should be able to obtain the correct DNS server settings from the wifi router and from the Mac.

One thing you can do quickly is type "ipconfig /release" and then "ipconfig /renew" at command prompt.

That MIGHT reset the config. correctly.
