Hi, I just bought a brand new macbook pro, version 10.5.3. Im trying to connect to my home wireless network with a WRT54G router. Right now I have two desktop PCs with wireless plugs running off the router. There is no password for my wireless, but I have added the Macbook onto the "allowed" computers list on my router. When I turn on my Airport, I can see the network and I can connect to it. But once I am connected, I cannot access the internet. In my Network Preferences, it says the Airport has no IP address. Right now, I am plugged into my shaw modem with a cable, because plugging it into the router doesn't work either. When I try to renew DHCP lease, nothing works. My laptop works fine when I plug it straight into the modem, but there seems to be an issue with the router itself. Any ideas?
 
Have you verified all the router's parameters?

The PCs that are working, are the IPs static or DHCP?

How many IP addresses are in the address pool of the router?
