Macos – MacBook won’t connect to the internet via airport or ethernet

connectionmacmacbookmacos

My MacBook won't connect to the internet at all. Not via airport or via ethernet. Both my other computers – running XP and Vista connect without a hitch everytime but my MacBook refuses to.

When I try to connect via airport it won't get an IP address and via ethernet it gets a self assigned IP. However, when I boot up to my windows 7 via bootcamp then I can connect to the network just fine, so it isn't a hardware issue.

However, if I take it to any of my client's offices then it connects fine, so I'm doubly confused as to why it's only my network/router that has an issue

Apple tech support suggested interference but it doesn't work on any other channel – and I'm confused as to why ONLY Mac OS X has an issue.

I'm running Snow Leopard

Did you check the configuration on your DHCP server? If it is working OK on other networks, chances are there is something in your DHCP setup that has it throw a wobbly.
