[QUOTE="etherize, post: 912848, member: 121465"] I JUST SOLVED IT! After talking about Airport, I Googled for answers and came across this Apple troubleshooting guide ([url]http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1401)[/url], which suggests unplugging Airport, waiting 30 seconds and trying again. "This addresses a common scenario in which a base station that has been powered on and connected to the Internet for an extended period holds an IP address (DHCP lease) for a longer period of time than your Internet service provider allows. " Re: routers, I figured that since this is just one computer not on a network, I didn't have a router. (To be honest, I wasn't--and still am not--totally clear on exactly what a router is. But I think I read that it's an external physical device, not a driver or internal piece of hardware.) Anyway after reading your comments, it occurred to me that maybe Airport has a router, so that led me to search on Airport troubleshooting. Which led me to that webpage, and SOLUTION! I am so happy! Thank you so much for your help, Tex! [/QUOTE]
