Self-assigned ip address -- can't connect to Airport

I have a 2006 MacBook Pro which recently started exhibiting the exact same behaviour as reported by another poster in 2011:
For some reason the computer has started self-asigning its IP address and Network Preferences says that, because of the self-assigned IP, i cannot connect to the network.
I have two other Macs connecting to the same Air Port with no issues and I've tried to duplicate those settings on the MacBook Pro but still get the "self-assigned ip" message
Tried re-setting SMC and PRAM, no change.
The only change to my wireless setup was the change from a Verizon-owned modem to an owned Motorola unit (but the MacBook Pro connected successfully, many times, after the change).
I didn't knowingly change anything on the MacBook Pro -- from one day to the next it just stopped connecting.
I'm really at a loss to understand what's going on and, of course, not happy that the MacBook Pro can't connect to my network anymore! Help!

The wifi icon shows no connection with the network -- the "!" mark.
However the computer sees the network, i.e. when I search in Network Preferences the network is listed.
So: 1) the computer sees the network but 2) will not connect to the network. The reason given for refusal to connect is "self-assigned IP address".
Not to be repetitive but two other Mac laptops are connected to the same network and working perfectly. The network preferences, as shown in the "advanced" section, are the same for all machines, i.e. DHCP is selected and IPv6 is Automatic.

  • Airport: Self-assigned ip address, can't connect (public routers only)

    this has been talkeda bout before, but is extremely frustrating, because i don't have the problem with a PC.
    1/2 of the public routers i connect to have some kind of login page, most the time they just say "youre getting free internet, click here" ... but sometimes that login page never comes up, and the network card says "airport has a self-assigned ip address and may not be able to connect to the internet"
    this only happens on pulic routers for me, and only ones that have login pages.
    its very odd because for example, starbucks has all the same routers, all are "attwifi" now .. i go to one, i get hte login screen, go to a different one, i don't get it...and can't connect
    with a PC, i get it every time.
    this is undoubtably a leopard problem, that needs to be fixed. please!

  • Self Assigned IP address, can't connect

    In a few instances, I will join a network, be shown as linked to the network. Then when I look at the network status page, it reads "you are connected to the internet, however the provider has a self-assigned IP address & you may not be able to link up". Can anyone explain what to do in this situation.
    Much love & thanks,
    Jackson

    Is the network not working at this point? What method of IP address assignement is currently selected?

  • Hey, for some reason i turned on my macbook pro 2012 and it says i have no internet access. I then found out that it also says that my self assigned ip address will not connect to the internet. How is this and how can i fix it?

    Reset your modem.

  • Self assigned ip and can't connect wirelessly on any apple device

    Man oh man... this issue has been festering for almost an entire year now and I have not found a solution. Last August (2009) my macbook stopped wirelessly connecting to my ATT 2WIRE dsl modem saying it had a self assigned ip address. I bought the computer in July and could connect with no issues for about a month. Ever since then, I've been connected via ethernet with slow connection. At the same time, the 2 iPhones in our household also could not connect wirelessly. One G5 could connect wirelessly but was extremely weak and often dropped the signal.
    I did tons of research and found zillions of other people with this issue and no resolution. I've tried every solution on macrumors, and apple discussions with no results... I've disabled firewall, renewed DHCP, tried DHCP manual (which then changes the status to say I'm connected, but nothing works in my browser), restarted, etc. At work, I can connect to our Linksys router wirelessly with no issues. When my friends come over, their macbooks and iPhones don't work either!
    Originally I thought the issue was my modem so I ordered another one. Same issue. Just this week I was at my wits end and cancelled my service with ATT and switched to Clear. I acquired a Linksys router to connect to the Clear Modem and I'm STILL having this issue. The difference is now that my iPhone can connect wirelessly but my macbook still cannot. The router is a Linksys WRT51ab. My macbook pro is on version 10.5.8. I can only assume that some kind of update to airport is causing the problem. As of now, my IPv4 address is: 169.254.111.225
    Please someone help me! I promise some kind of reward if you can help me fix this.

    Based on the model number, your Linksys router is OLD.
    I'd actually suspect that your router has been the problem.
    You can download the full user manual here --> http://homedownloads.cisco.com/downloads/wrt51ab_ug.pdf
    I don't know if you ever secured your wireless router or renamed it from the factory defaults.
    If it your Linksys wireless router is not password secured, it's possible that someone else changed settings about the time things stopped connecting.
    Regardless, you can completely reset the Linksys to the factory defaults by holding down the Reset button on the Linksys for more than 10 seconds.
    Do that first.
    Then see if things 'magically' start connecting again. I'm guessing the phones will connect, but the Mac still won't, because of the IP address in the current configuration.
    If not, here's how to configure your Mac network settings.
    On your Mac, in System Preferences, Internet and Network, Network,
    Click on Location, Edit Location
    Click the + sign to create a new location called '_test'
    (The underscore before the name will put it at the top of your Locations list where it's easy to find)
    Select Ethernet (wired)
    First, we'll let DHCP try to set the address.
    Click Apply.
    Move the selection back to Ethernet, and watch the Status.
    If it shows Connected and IP address appears after a few moments, at least the WIRED configuration is working.
    Now IF the Wired configuration works, lets move on to the wireless configuration...
    (If the Wired configuration is still not working, post back and we'll work through it.)
    Still in System Preferences, Internet and Network, Network, with the _test location you just created...
    Select the AirPort interface in the left column.
    Turn AirPort On.
    If no Network Name appears, click on the up/down button and select Join Other Network and select your Linksys router name.
    Click 'Apply'.
    Leave DHCP settings alone and watch the Status to see if it connects.
    Let me know what happens!

  • Self-assigned IP address, try to connect to pc

    I do a lot of file transferring from my mac to another pc laptop, so I've got them hooked together with an ethernet cable.  I had this issue in the past, where I'd try to connect but my network settings kept saying the "ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect".  The solution I found to fixing this was to open up the Advanced Settings, and change the IPv6 configuration to "Link-local only" and then everything would work perfectly.
    I upgraded to Yosemite yesterday, however, and now that solution no longer works.  Still getting self-assigned IP.  How can I fix this??

    I checked my sharing options, and everything looks to be on.  I also have the yellow circle, but I can never get a connection unless it goes green.  Before I upgraded, that was the issue before; it would be yellow until I changed the IPv6 connection to "link-local only" and then the ethernet connection would change to green, and I'd have no issues.  Now, when I change it to "Link-local only" and hit apply, nothing happens, it's still yellow.
    I tried to connect to the server just to see, and it won't connect.  I get an error that says "There was a problem connecting to the server "AMANDA-PC" Check the server name or IP address, and then try again.  If you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator."

  • Ethernet cord has a self assigned IP address, can this be changed?

    I am trying to connect my laptop to my Xbox 360 so I can get on Xbox Live using my computers wireless as a gateway... but the ethernet cord has a self assigned IP address and won't work.. I've tried everything to change it and it still won't connect with my router. It is a cisco router.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You stand a better chance of a connection if you set the Ethernet interface to DHCP and have it be assigned an IP number by the Router ...

  • Ethernet has self assigned IP Address,will not connect to internet?

    Ethernet has a self assigned IP Address and will not connect to the internet.
    I am on -  Mac os X - 10.7.5
    Using a BT Broadband Router, my power mac is connected to the network via TP-Link Plug POWERLINE. This has worked great for ever!
    A week ago, my web connection dropped, network settings say "Ethernet 1 is active and has a self assigned IP Address and will not connect to the internet"
    This seems to be a popular thread and I have followed all the answers I can find and the problem remains.
    I also run a Powerbook on the wireless internet and other appliances such as, iPads, iPhones, and the wireless is fine.
    My sky box and Xbox 360 (both ethernet via TP-Link) also have NO connection.
    When I turn my laptops wireless off and try the ethernet cable (tried a new one too) instead, there is the same SELF-ASSIGNED IP ADDRESS issue.
    This point me to the router or TP-Link network.  I have replaced the router, same errors.
    On my Powermac I have -
    Deleted 'system configuration from the system folder - as advised by apple.
    Tried swapping from DCHP, DCHP Manual and renewing lease etc.
    Could anyone help at all? I am lost now as how to solve the problems.
    All my TP-Link power line extenders show the correct lights, i.e., all on and yellow.
    I am not experienced in networks, this is driving me mad now!
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks
    A

    Open System Preferences/Network
    Select the Location you use at home
    You may need to click the Padlock bottom left at this point if it's locked, enter the admin password to unlock
    In the left hand column drag the Ethernet connection to the top of the list and remove any you don't use
    Click the Advanced button bottom right
    Click the TCP/IP Tab
    Set Configure IPv4 to Using DHCP
    Click OK bottom right and you should see the Router IP number appear and a unique but similar one for your Mac
    Click Ok then click Apply and close the Panel

  • MacBook has self assigned ip address and cannot connect to the internet.

    Is there an Apple recomended fix for this problem that works? I've looked on this board and have found several similar suggestions but as yet nothing that results with consistent connection every time I restart.

    Since there is no exacting way to tell what of several suggestions offered in
    these discussion boards, you may have tried, I will offer an Apple Support
    article name and web address link; it may be you have tried this:
    • Mac OS: How to release and renew a DHCP lease
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1920
    And you can get a similar self-assigned IP address via a wireless network
    or a wired local network - with a theoretical connection to the internet. If
    the actual connection in software is not set correctly, the default will likely
    be something very familiar since the same one appears then.
    If the Network system preference panel is set and you have chosen the
    mode of connecting to the internet or other connected network, then
    you can set the configuration of that choice in a secondary screen. In
    order to have a choice to connect via AirPort, for example, you have to
    check box the item and also drag it into a position of priority (first.) Or,
    if you have to connect via Ethernet to a cable/DSL modem (if not USB)
    you can choose to place Ethernet in a position of priority above others.
    Then, further the Network configuration's next step to set it up correctly.
    The above link does cover the basics adequately, including a reset of
    the cable or DSL modem. If there is a cable modem and also a wireless
    base station, you may also have to reset each of them in a specific way
    in order to get them to start up and work. This may be all it takes.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Self assigned IP address on wired connection

    Hi
    My wife uses a G3 iMac (still a great machine!) and it is linked to the internet via an ethernet cable to a router (my own Mac in another room is wirelessly linked to this).
    Several times a day my wife is unable to get online, getting a message that the computer has a "self assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet". The only solution I have found is to restart the computer. Searching this forum, it seems that this problem usually occurs with wireless connections, which isn't the case here. Incidentally, my Mac continues to be online fine when this happens.
    This began all of a sudden a few weeks ago and has become a real nuisance (we both work from home and rely on the Internet). Indeed, I was told this morning to sort it out because I wouldn't have put up for it for so long! So, for the sake of marital bliss, I could really do with some help here!
    Cheers
    Phil

    Phil could be many things, but the 1st that comes to mind is how easily the Auto Location gets confused...
    Try making a New Location.
    Try dragging these files to the Desktop, restarting and setting up again...
    /Users/nnnnLibrary/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    And I always precede/postcede these operations with Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least if it doesn't fix it, it'll eliminate a few questions.
    Besides, once you really, really need it... you can't install it!

  • "Self-assigned IP address" won't connect to Internet

    I have two Macs connected to my DSL modem: a MacBook Pro (10.5.2) and a PowerBook G3 'Pismo' (10.3.9). Yesterday both were working fine, but just now when I started up the PowerBook it told me "Built-in Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet." Indeed, though the cable is connected just like yesterday, there's no Internet (though the MBP is connected just fine).
    Anyone have any idea why this happens, and what to do about it? I've tried disconnecting/reconnecting the cable, and restarting the PowerBook, to no avail.

    Your router uses a system called DHCP to allocate an IP number to any computer connected to it. So when a computer is booted, the router recognizes its presence and allocates it a number. If the computer is running 24/7 the number's 'lease' is usually renewed every few days.
    Sometimes the process falls over and the computer fails to get an IP number from the router: when this happens it allocates itself an emergency number with the results you describe. As you found, rebooting the router usually clears the problem.
    It may be possible to reprogram the router and the computer to use a fixed IP number, it depends on the router. Very possibly this would prevent the problem occurring since both ends would 'know' what the number should be from the off.

  • Airport and a self-assigned IP address - can't access wireless net

    I have a strange issue with Airport picking up a wireless network.
    I'm not in my usual location using my MacBook Pro.
    There is a wireless network here.
    Airport sees it, and asks for the password (provided to me).
    Airport looks connected, but, I see the message: "Airport has a self-assigned IP Address and may not be able to connect to the internet".
    And in fact, it cannot. I've run through the diagnostics routine twice, and no go.
    How do I get Airport to accept an IP address from this wireless configuration?

    I am having a nearly identical problem. The solution provided did not work for me.
    We have two MacBook laptops, one is mine and the other my wife's. My laptop still works fine. The AirPort communicates well with the wireless router. My wife's laptop just started having this problem about a week ago. The latest Airport software updates helped, but did not solve.
    The problem is that I now have to go into network diagnostics everytime to connect my wife's laptop to the wireless router. I have to re-enter the password to the router each time. Once I enter the password, it finds the IP address and connects everything properly. I checked the keychain password and it is there, so I don't know why it keeps losing the IP address.
    One thing that I did preceded this problem. I changed my router password to WEP. If anyone knows if this could cause the problem, let me know.

  • Self assigned IP address will not connect to internet

    Took iMac into Apple store, Genius tech confirmed wifi connection working in store.  Cleaned out a few library files, suggested I go home and attempt to access wifi connection again.
    All other Apple devices connect to Internet using WiFi connection with Airport Extreme, including one Windows laptop. 
    Occasionally the wifi connection on my iMac would drop out.  In system preferences I would see the network there, select it, and was good to go.  Not this time! 
    Went back to the Apple store to ask for help.  Tech suggested I clean out "locations", so I did that.  I also did manual set up using IP address on Airport, got message that wifi is connected but iMac not connected to Internet.  Tried Diagnostic, Assistant,  and nothing works.  Wifi is working, I am on my iPad, but cannot get this iMac computer online. 
    Defaults to "WiFi has the self assigned IP address 169 254  167 148 and will not be able to connect to Internet
    Under that message is Network Name and mine is shown.  again:  WiFi On, Alert: No Internet Connection, Apple Network selected and working.
    How much does it cost to call Apple Support?  I feel sure a grandson or nephew could fix this but no one lives nearby:-). Thanks for any suggestions.

  • Self Assigned IP address – can't figure this out. Frustrated.

    This is a long post but bear with me. It proposes a challenge for the mac connoisseur. Who knows? Might be fun?
    OK, here goes:
    Please help. I have been trying to fix this for about 7 months. I first noticed this issue when I started traveling around the country, from hotel to hotel. While others (PC's and Mac's) had no trouble connecting to the free wifi at these hotels, I did. I kept getting "self-assigned i.p."
    This was extremely frustrating. I often had to call up the i.t. guys and ask them to help me manually put in ip address, subnet mask, router (gateway), and dns. This worked much of the time but not always.
    Let me also say that, sometimes it worked perfectly! I'd say about 25% of the time (at these hotels) my internet worked perfectly – just connected immediately. The other 75... "self-assigned i.p."
    I just spoke to the mac "geniuses" and they told me it's not an issue with my computer at all (either hardware or software). Are you kidding me?!?! How can they explain everyone else's internet working except mine. And I'm talking like 100 or more different hotels in a 4 month period. They were trying to tell me that it was just a coincidence every time! "You'd be surprised" one guy said. Hahaha. They said that the routers aren't accepting my computer's whatever. OK, well WHY?! The router works for everyone but me. It's something wrong with my computer right?! Well no one acknowledged this.
    More background info:Just had my airport card and logic board replaced. Computer came back and the sheet said "passed all hardware tests." BUT, none of my issues (I had other ones too involving battery life and not being able to access certain websites) were fixed.
    I went to an apple store. They told me to do an erase and reinstall or whatever. So I did that (by dragging and dropping everything I'd saved on an external hard drive using disk utility). By the way, I also upgraded from leopard to snow leopard. So now, if I have the same issues after this I'll know both leopard and snow leopard are screwed up.... right?
    OK, so I followed their instructions on deleting and reinstalling to a tee and guess what?! Everything worked! Or so it seemed. Battery fine. Websites now accessible. I figured the airport issue was fixed too. But now that I'm not touring anymore and the airport works in my house, I never encountered any issues. Until now. At my work.
    I got a new job and it's one in which I HAVE to have a computer that connects to the internet. So of course, the same issue with self assigned i.p. presents itself. Everyone else in the office has no problem. Including a Mac person that used to work there.
    I've been reading some other threads that are just completely confusing me. One of them might be the solution but I thought I'd detail my troubles so that some smart computer person out there can diagnose my specific problem and give me a specific fix.
    I noticed that many people believe there was a bug in one of the 10.5 updates. I am pretty quick to install updates (maybe I shouldn't be because I hear that the first updates are often buggy and maybe you should wait for a while). But this problem has continued now with Snow Leopard too so... I don't know. I don't know anything anymore. I have tried everything. And Apple is telling me it's not a problem with my computer. Give me a break.
    One more interesting quirk: before doing the erase and reinstall my computer could not find the Apple Store's network. After the erase and reinstall it works. That's why I assumed everything was fine! But no. And now the Mac people are saying there's no problem because they can't see it.
    BTW, I have tried all the obvious things. It's not an obvious thing. But I mean, if you think it is... then tell me I guess. But I've been in the advanced tab thousands of times. I feel like I've exhausted everything in there.
    Thank you thank you thank you in advance if someone is actually able to solve my issue.

  • Self Assigned IP? Can't connect~!

    Self-Assigned IP? Cannot connect to the internet. I see the router/network name, I have good connection, but no IP? It assigns a 169.xxx.xx.xxx
    -I have repaired permissions
    -Deleted AirPort from the network list and re-added it
    -Deleted plists
    -Turned off the router and laptop, waited, turned back on
    -Renew DCHP lease
    Is there an order I can do things in or some other step? For some reason, it just STOPPED WORKING out of the blue today, and I have been trying to fix it for hours to no avail...
    Router: Seimens Gigaset SE567
    Mac OS 10.6.7
    MacBook Intel Core2 Duo 2 GHz
    AirPort Extreme Card

    It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try.  Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.  If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.
