Two of my roommates and myself have not been able to browse the internet using our apartment complex's ethernet. All three of us have MacBooks. We have been able to connect to the ethernet, but have not been able to use Skype, Firefox, Safari, iChat, etc. We are getting "unable to find server" messages. One of my roommates tried using his old Dell laptop to connect using the same wall jack and same cable, and he connected to the internet and could surf on his first try. We have adjusted our settings to those provided by the internet provider. We have only had trouble once before and none of us have changed our settings since then, so we are in the dark. Thanks in advance.
Additional info:
-We can connect wirelessly
-Using Network Utility, I had 0% packet loss when I "ping"ed
-We get an IP address, but only after a few minutes
-I have tried to use domain addresses, ie http://17.149.160.49 and still no luck
I'll happily provide an other information that might be of help
Thanks again!
