[QUOTE="greyshade, post: 922047, member: 125878"] My firewall has been set to "Allow all connections" To update this for anyone else who may have the same issue: I contacted, apple 2x, broadband provider, and NetGear 2x. I was able to finally level it down to a router issue. Our router is setup for a small network running a business and I really am not going to touch it. So, it is entirely possible that one of my settings is causing the issue. However, I kind of doubt it. -note I have 5 other computers operating on the same network and have never had any issues, only my MacBook Pro has problems, and that is the only Mac I use on this network. Findings, when I bypassed the router and plugged directly into the modem and I had no issues. Thus, I determined my router was the problem. The fix was to access openDNS.com while on the modem direct connection. Set that up and I am now able to surf the web without any issues. This isn't exactly the fix I wanted however, it is a work around and may end up being permanent. For the record my router is a NetGear WNR834m <-- This router appears to have possible issues with Apple CPUs. [/QUOTE]
