so I just recently arrived at school and connected my MBP through an ethernet cable to the internet. It was fine for several hours and when I restarted my mac, I cannot connect. I know the connection is fine because I can still connect through Windows 7. The network preferences tells me that "Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet" I can't reset the router (because I am on the school's network) I tried deleting my preferences and starting over but that didn't work...Any other suggestions?
