I wanted to post this experience and see if anyone else has the same issue.
iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
I use a standard ethernet cable through a modem to connect to the internet
After successfully upgrading from OS X 10.5 to 10.6 everything seemed to be working fine.
Until I tried to connect to the internet.
The Firefox web browser just timed out and showed a blank white page with the "Done" message in the bottom corner.
Same problem with the Safari browser also.
So I tried software update and the Mac couldn't get a connection.
I then looked in the Network settings and all settings were 100% correct. But I created a new location anyway just to be sure but got the same connection problem.
However, the Ethernet tab in System Prefs - Network pane had a green light saying it had a connection.
A computer and modem reset & restart didn't solve the problem either.
My version of Snow Leopard 10.6 was bought from a very reputable internet sales company (Amazon).
I had to re-boot from 10.5 just to be able to post this thread.
Any suggestions very welcome.
Kind regards.
