[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1331803, member: 56379"] Aah...sorry about that...I forgot you were having internet issues with your MBP. Are the internet connection issues with both Airport (wireless) and via an ethernet cable? Connecting via Airport is usually very very easy. If you're having issues with Airport at your current location...go to somewhere they have free WiFi like McDonald's, Starbucks, or Panera bread (I think these guys still all have free WiFi)...and purchase & download Lion that way. If you cannot connect via Airport at one of these places...then there is definitely something up with your MBP (hardware issue or network/Airport settings)...since I've never had a problem connecting with the free WiFi at these locations. Good luck, - Nick p.s. I'm not exactly sure about purchasing & downloading via a Windows computer. You're supposed to have Mac OS 10.6.6 or later to access the "Mac App. Store"...not sure if this is possible on a Windows computer. [/QUOTE]
