Hello, Apple did not invent wireless networking. There is a large chance that you'll receive a self assigned IP address if the network isn't yours, there are several local networks and it might be interference in the network and you wont be able to get an IP due to very high loss in the wi-fi.
About your trackpad, if it doesn't click that's weird, I would recommend you to bring it to an Apple Authorised Service Provider or an Apple Retail Store depending on where in europe you are. You can find these by going to www.apple.com/XX/buy/locator then find service (should be the 3rd choice in the first drop-down menu) Replace XX with the countrycode (SE for Sweden, NO for Norway etc, if you're unsure about the country code try to look at licence plates of cars to see if they have a sticker saying "GB" For Great Britain or similar. About the burning issue, is it the same thing with different CDs? It might be the disc, but yes I've had my fair share of bad superdrives lately as well.
