How do I fix this issue: My MBP (10.5.7) is unable to acquire an IP via DHCP and will only connect to networks when it is manually assigned?

Hey skyvan, what router do you have?

If its a Linksys WRT54G2 then a lot of people are having the same problem with no solution yet. Some have rebooted router and it worked again. Once I get more info I'll look into it more for you.

So far the only solution posted by someone saying it worked can be found in the last reply of this thread:

It's with any router. Happened at BarcampSD with some high end Aruba Wi-Fi gear and also at home with Airport Expresses and Airport Extremes in a mesh setup.

I suggest you reset your router and delete your connection settings from your macbook pro and start all over. Re-add the connection.

Again, I'm not stupid, I have done all of this, and it's not just one or two networks it is any network, anyway. It's a crazy issue. Guessing it has to do with 10.5.7 :(
