[QUOTE="fungus, post: 504179, member: 39676"] [b]More than likley WEP[/b] Are you using WEP? I have the same problem with a MacBook, PowerBook, and MacBook Pro. The only "easy" way I have found so far is to rejoin the network and enter the WEP key again. I then get a valid IP. Turn off WEP and you don't have the problem. I have heard that changing to WPA may work. I think this problem is partly due to the 2Wire equipment and it's fuzzy compatibility with Apple Airport cards. As you can see I have three generations of Airport cards from old school G to new school N and they all have this problem with 2wire equipment. Not only a 2700 but the older 1000 series as well.
