I am using a one earlier than the newest model macbook pro. I have a strange and frustrating problem. I have no problem connecting to most wireless networks. At home where I use my computer 95% of the time I connect through a standard d-link router with a wep key, etc. I take my computer to other people's houses, never have any problems.
However, I am traveling now and have run into this same problem before, I thought it was the particular network before, but now I realize the problem must be on my end.
In two airports yesterday that had free wireless, I was unable to get online. I connect and my computer gets a 169.xxx ip and says self assigned ip. Same exact thing happening now in hotel. (I am on through a tether to an iphone right now). In the same airport and hotel, the person traveling with me is online and surfing perfectly with a newest model macbook, so I know there is something going wrong on my end, and its extremely frustrating.
Any ideas? I tried searching for similar questions but could not find anything.
thanks for any help
