[QUOTE="chscag, post: 917783, member: 46727"] The PING test you did definitely shows you're not getting through. (100% packet loss.) Go into System Preferences, Network, and remove any networks that might be showing for the Airport connection tab. And place a check in the box that says "Ask to join new networks". Now go into the "Security" preference panel, click on Firewall, and make sure that Firefox and Safari are allowed to access the internet. Reboot the machine. Go back into the Network preference panel and try to set up a connection that you know is working - either at your office or at home. We'll assume your router, and hardware are OK. I suspect something has either changed your system settings or some gremlins have entered into your computer. We may have to call on an exorcist! :) One thing we seemed to have forgotten... are the networks you're trying to access encrypted? (WEP, WPA, WPA2) If so, make sure you're using the correct pass phrase or hex password. Post back. Regards. [/QUOTE]
