Gina, You're asking about the next level of configuration when asking about static or dynamic. That's the configuration of the IP address, the netmask, the identification of the gateway, and of name resolving servers, i.e. dns.
I'm not getting far enough for those questions to even come up. For the record I'm set for dhcp, but it's not yet relevant. Here's why: When I press VO+m+m and arrow to the wifi menu, there are no access points listed to choose among. None. Zip. Nada. There's a message in that menu that says "no signal." If I go under System Preferences and then Networking I can eventually move myself to a set of tabs, one of which is 802.1x. There's nothing special there. It's all default Apple configuration. But, the machine isn't seeing anyone to talk to. Same hardware, same electricity, different results between OS X that ain't working, and Windows and Linux that are. This is an analog issue of some kind. It's about establishing a radio link. Until a radio link is proferred, nobody's login or permissions pol.icies can possibly apply.
