Self-assigned IP after waking up...

[candychunk]

Hi, I have a year old white macbook. Everytime I wake the machine up from sleep and try to use the internet, I have to run Network Diagnostic first, otherwise it won't let me access the internet. The icon in the toolbar says that I have a connection, but when I go to system preferences, it says its connected, but that there is a self-assigned IP address. When I run network diagnostics, it asks for my WEP passkey (that it already knows and has been saved to my keychain) and then connects to the internet with no problem. Is there a way I could just keep my laptop connected to the internet even after waking up? Any help that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Have you looked in the advanced section? Check if there is a manual ip assigned if there is turn it off and set it all to auto

I'm having the same problem with my Mac Pro.

I can connect to the internet fine but I'm trying to share the connection to my airport extreme but the IP's are conflicting with eachother.

If you go into System Preferences and select Network, then highlight your AirPort and click Advanced, is your network in the Preferred Networks list? If it is maybe deleting it and re-adding it will make sure the WEP key is re-saved into the keychain.
