[QUOTE="andymcg, post: 941071, member: 130227"] I wanted to post this experience and see if anyone else has the same issue. iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM I use a standard ethernet cable through a modem to connect to the internet After successfully upgrading from OS X 10.5 to 10.6 everything seemed to be working fine. Until I tried to connect to the internet. The Firefox web browser just timed out and showed a blank white page with the "Done" message in the bottom corner. Same problem with the Safari browser also. So I tried software update and the Mac couldn't get a connection. I then looked in the Network settings and all settings were 100% correct. But I created a new location anyway just to be sure but got the same connection problem. However, the Ethernet tab in System Prefs - Network pane had a green light saying it had a connection. A computer and modem reset & restart didn't solve the problem either. My version of Snow Leopard 10.6 was bought from a very reputable internet sales company (Amazon). I had to re-boot from 10.5 just to be able to post this thread. Any suggestions very welcome. Kind regards. [/QUOTE]
