MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
That's probably because any wireless you have nearby isn't functioning properly or on the same protocol as the MacBook Pro. 2006 MacBook Pros if Core2Duo required a special 802.11n patch from Apple to connect to 802.11n networks. The CoreDuo model could only connect to 802.11g networks, and the insecure 802.11b networks. Your network should at minimum have 802.11g and WPA2 encryption, and you should check your router is properly configured to share with the number of machines it is sharing the internet with.
Additionally, public WiFi networks may not work, unless you connect with Firefox after selecting the Airport icon to connect to the network. Some of them do not support Safari for their login screens.
Try letting the router assign an IP address. In System Preferences, click the assist me button for help.
