I am using a current model MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. When I first got it, I upgraded the Verizon modem/router firmware (Westell W327) and MBP worked with a wireless or ethernet connection.
I haven't used OS X for a couple of weeks, and during that time booted up in Windows 7 exclusively and had no problems accessing the internet.
Now when I try to connect to the internet, wireless or ethernet from Snow Leopard, I cannot access the internet and all other current connections from other computers stop working as well.
Let me qualify that. When I first connect, I can access the Google home page and Google News - then everything times out and I get the Verzion 404 page.
When I disconnect the ethernet cable or wifi, then the connections in the other computers work, so essentially, Snow Leopard is disabling the modem/router.
I can get internet access using the modem with an older version of OS X, my iPod Touch, Vista and Windows 7, so it has to be Snow Leopard.
Other than using another router, is there something I can do to get Snow Leopard to work with the existing router? I know the Westell is outdated (2005) and not the most loved modem/router, but it did work at one time.
