I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard 10.5.5 purchased in early October 2008.
for a few days I could get onto free wireless networks with Airport, however starting 2 weeks ago I cannot. there's no problem establishing an IP address. steps taken:
talked to Applecare who told me I need new wireless card and told me to bring into apple store. apple store yesterday they told me it was a problem with the "preferred locations" function clogging things up so they cleared my cache and set everything to "automatic," unchecked box that says remember networks, and of course it worked fine.

this morning it doesn't. once again I cannot get onto an open wireless network. also a new detail is that now when I connect my ethernet cable after trying Airport first I cannot connect, I need to restart computer 1st. help!
 
I always set up a Location for each network I connect to, that way I can control it. Also, check to make sure Ethernet is not an option for a wireless Location you set up; eliminates confusion there.
