Turns out all I have to do is bring my receipt to the Apple Store, they'll do a 1:1 exchange and add whatever iPod I want to the receipt so I can get a rebate.

i've googled and found tons of problems with macbook pro airport stuff, but they all seem to happen straight out of the box, and don't seem to involve the wireless connection appearing to stay valid. hopefully this is just something really stupid...

DNS servers - no, will do so. weirdly i noticed that my fixed IP address has changed, which seems really weird.
related, hopefully easier q: my first idea for a workaround was to connect via an ethernet cable. on xp, this would just work - you plug in and go. nothing happened on my mac, though! what do i need to do to use ethernet with the router?
― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 13 July 2006 07:20 (seventeen years ago) link
Try doing this for the ethernet interface when connecting with the cable and see what address the Mac picks up and if you can get to the management page.

BTW the only reason I am ON HOLD is because the brilliant "Concierge" system completely fills up within hours of store opening at both Pentagon City and Clarendon. I have a hint for you fuckers, don't sell broken-ass CPUs if you can't hire enough techs to fix them. FFS.

1) yes, that vital odd-third-digit as mentioned above2) ITUNES
The computer was wanky to begin with (a brand new out-of-the-box no programs added computer shouldn't be refusing to wake up from sleep?) but as soon as we opened ITUNES for the first time IT STARTED EATING ITSELF ALIVE WTF? I just laugh at it at this point, especially when it wouldn't even accept the system disks or open in safe mode anymore :D
