Self-Assigned IP

I tried to connect to the Internet via Airport but i found this :



I've tried many solutions from the Internet such as :
- Delete the Airport Preferences file in the Library >>> doesn't work
- Boot to Safe Mode then restart >>> doesn't work

Seems the solution from the Internet is the solution for the Keychain Update Bug whereas i didn't update my Keychain....

I'm using Ethernet right now and it's work...

FYI I'm using MB, OS 10.5.2

Hope you can help me....

Thanks before...

Modern operating systems will assign what is known as an "Automatically Assigned Private IP Address" when they can't get one from a DHCP server.

The most common cause for this on a wireless network is that the access point is secured and the computer is not authorized to connect. What kind of security is your wireless access point using?

Hit the 'Advanced' button

Then to the 'TCP/IP' tab

Change the 'Configure IPv4:' box to 'Using DHCP'

CW, raises a good question - do you have a wireless network set up on "your" router.

Also, moved to the appropriate forum, nothing to do with "Apple Rumors & Reports".

Thanks, it works, now i can connect to the router and play internet comfortly........

Thanks.....

Hi, had a similar problem and thought I'd resurrect this thread rather than start a new one. Tried resetting to "Using DHCP", but this didn't help. Also when I go into the Airport Setup Utility and try to configure the base station I get an error message that reads, "An error occurred while reading the configuration. Make sure your Apple wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-5)." The weird thing is that I'm getting a full strength signal and I'm also plugged in via ethernet. When I unplug the ethernet cable, I can't connect to the internet. Thanks in advance for any help.

Try going back to basics - connect computer to base station and disconnect from Internet then run Airport Utility and make sure all airport settings are correct for your set up. Then disconnect ethernet connect internet and attempt the wireless scene. If you still get error when trying to get into base station settings it might be time for a Base Station reset and start over again.
