To start from the beginning...
I came home one day from work with my somewhat new macbook to discover that Lion was no longer able to connect to the internet. After many hours of troubleshooting I was left with the following...
I can connect to my wireless router okay. My router is connected to the internet just fine (I can ping any domain from my router's console). Lion's browsers and terminal cannot ping or connect to any domain or IP. I run Parallels inside of Lion and my Windows 7 virtual machine can connect to the internet just fine (this is how I'm writing this). When I take my macbook to work the wireless and wired (usb adapter) internet works flawlessly. I've checked to make sure my router hasn't blocked my mac or ip address and reset the router many times. I've confirmed with my internet provider that they do not have any kind(s) of blocks on my account (should be obvious as any other OS on any hardware can connect perfectly fine). I have the most recent versions and updates of all software installed in Lion and Windows.
When I ping an IP I get the following...
request timeout for ICMP_seq
no route to host
When I try to get any information from netstat, it just spins and spins and tries and tries for ages and doesn't give me anything, all while Activity Monitor is showing tons of traffic coming in and going out through the network (from Windows).
It started around the time I installed CentrifyDC, because Lion refused any attempt to bind to my work domain. I use this is my work computer and I need to be able to access network resources. I've talked with my fellow geeks in IT at work about it and they have no idea as they all only know Windows.
So I'm left with this being a routing problem, caused by some file that was created, modified, or deleted during the CentrifyDC installation. (Yes, I uninstalled CentrifyDC).
A further issue is that I have bootcamp installed and therefore Lion will not reinstall because of that. I have a TimeMachine backup, but it is currently on a disk that only my Windows machine can read. Lion refuses to acknowledge the HFS+ partition that Windows can read and write to (I have paragon installed).
I feel like my only real option is to completely format the entire drive, go buy another external hard drive, pray I can get my backups back up, and reinstall everything. I'd really rather not have to go through all that trouble if I could fix this with one line in Terminal...
I haven't felt this helpless in a long time. Can someone please at least point me in the right direction? Please?
