[QUOTE="Janus 006, post: 988318, member: 141343"] Glad to hear your problem has been resolved. My problem was driving me crazy, but has been seemingly fixed. I'll post the solution here in case it helps anyone else. As I stated earlier, my problem was incredibly bizarre. Internet would work with my computer closed (on other Macbooks and iPhones), and my Xbox Live connection would work no matter what. My d/l capabilities were relatively unaffected even when I couldn't load up sites. And my computer would work on other networks with no problems. After much tinkering and no solution, I gave in and called my ISP (Comcast). I didn't want them out originally because I didn't want them screwing with my hardware (I don't have a Comcast modem), and I didn't want to pay a fee if the technician had to mess with my hardware (it's free if the problem is with Comcast). Turns out, the radio frequency for the Comcast connection was -16, and the connection is only meant to go as low as -10 (I'm not sure if I'm explaining this correctly, but it's something like that). The technician then sent a maintenance guy out to correct the problem. Apparently, extreme temperature changes can cause this problem, so it seems as though the ISP was at fault. If all else fails, call your ISP and ask what they charge for service calls, and see if you can stipulate that they are not allowed to fiddle with your hardware. [/QUOTE]
