[QUOTE="fearlessfreap24, post: 1449808, member: 9274"] Take a look at your Network Settings in System Preferences. Even though it may say "Connected" some times there is an explanation of it off to the side. Normally it will say "AirPort is connected to [I]Router Name[/I] and has the IP address 192.168.xxx.xxx" If that is the case then you could probably take this next step to troubleshoot. Applications > Utilities > Network Utility Click on Traceroute. Enter www. google .com (without the spaces) then click Trace the 1st line would be your Router, the 2nd should be your Modem, and the third would be somewhere on the internet. if there are no lines after the modem, your internet is messed up. if there are no lines then you may just have to re-install your "mac". whatever that means. Good luck, hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
