I have a 2010 MBP with 8 GB of RAM running OS X Lion.
I am at college and our wifi is slow, but they have an ethernet port. So I bought a cable and plugged it in. I turned off the wifi, and under system preferences, it says the ethernet port is connected and is giving me an IP address. Yet the internet wont work. Is there any reason for this? A couple other Mac users here have the same issue. But there is a kid with a PC and it's working fine for him. Any insight into this? I really could use some decent internet.
