[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1612801, member: 182015"] Have you tried setting a valid IP address using the manual setting? A valid IP address will be in the same subnet as your other devices - example: flatmate - 192.168.1.4, iPad - 192.168.1.5, iPhone 192.168.1.6, etc. Set your MBP to 192.168.1.x where x isn't already used but is close to the others, like 20. Also set your subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, and set the router or gateway (Apple uses these interchangeably) to whatever yours is - you can find it on those other devices. In my example, the router is nearly always 192.168.1.1. If this doesn't help, do a Safe Boot, then boot normally after the Safe Boot completes.
