A couple of times, briefly, just after re-establishing the connection with the wireless network, I can retrieve some of a page, but then it stops working. This makes me think that the problem is a setting on my laptop. I'm using XP. My Windows and McAfee firewalls are turned off. I'm running out of other ideas. My sanity over the next few days probably depends on the combination of internet access and alcohol. Help me if you can....

I have the same issue at home. My wife's IBook suddenly went on the fritz and wouldn't connect to the internet, so I called Apple and they took me through steps to reset our Apple AirPort wireless router. Now my computer won't connect to the net, and no matter what I do, I can't make it work. My ISP provider very candidly suggested I "throw away" my AirPort (says they never work well). It's insanely frsutrating.
The issue, as I'm told, is that my router is not accepting my computer's IP Address. How I cure that I have no idea. I'm just going to throw out the fucking piece of shit router and buy a PC-compatible product. I like Apple's stuff, but save the ITunes (which is wonderfully easy), its all more trouble than its worth. Fuck Apple.
