[QUOTE="tamaras82, post: 1387051, member: 234875"] Hi Mac75005, Yesterday I could not connect to the internet and I had that "self-assigned IP address" message coming up. I tried two things, the second option is what worked for me, but I also tried the first :D RESET YOUR MAC'S FIRE WALL: 1.Go to Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/ folder and move the files called "com.apple.alf.plist," and "com.apple.alf.plist.lock" to the trash. 2. Restart your computer. (when restarting you may be prompted to allow incoming connections to numerous programs and services, you can accept these and can later go to the Firewall settings and deny or remove them later.. 3. Try connecting to the network again. GET NETWORK ASSISTANCE: 1. Open Network Preferences 2. Click on the "Assist me..." button on the bottom center of the window 3. Click "Assistant" 4. Leave the "Location Name" it suggests (mine yesterday was "Location (3/24/12 12:22 AM)" 5. Click "Continue" 6. Check the "I use a DSL modem to connect to the Internet." option 7. Click Continue 8. Click Continue in the next "Ready to Connect?" screen 9. Enjoy Wi-fi again! :D [/QUOTE]
