    it appears to be a fairly common issue

    check out the apple discussions page

    the top 5 posts under the networking section of the macbook pro talk about this issue

    thus far, no solutions have been offered yet

    Which router are you trying to connect to? Chances are you might have to disable IPv6 in your Network prefs. I'm assuming you have DHCP enabled?

    You can also try manually setting an IP address for the airport on you mbp, this sometimes helps. You will need to know what the DHCP range for your router is first, then choose an address outside that range, eg 192.168.1.0>100 range for router then choose say .101 for mbp. Then manually set the dns servers and subnet mask.
    other options are to first remove all security and mac filtering then add things back one at a time.
    good luck
