A possible fix for Internet hotspot connection failures
Authored by: C14ru5 on Feb 05, '07 08:02:05AM

Thanks! All that fiddling around in Network Preferences in my OS X years, and I never noticed the "Assist me…" button.

What I've done at such times, is kindly to ask the PC user next to me if he could show me his ipconfig, then gamble and set a manual IP address for myself which is one or two numbers higher. An extremely embarrasing thing to ask (when "everything is easier on a mac"), and also it might ruin the connection of other network devices nearby. So the solution mentioned in the article is much better!

It's Tiger stuff, there was no network assistant in Panther.
