[QUOTE="Goldie, post: 910065, member: 121805"] If you are connected to the network, but have no Internet, it may be that your computer is set up with a static IP address. In order to access the internet your router has to know your IP address, normally this is done automatically by a protocol called DHCP. Basically when you connect to your router, the router will issue an IP address to your laptop and from there it will have access to the internet. If you have a static IP address set up this may cause the problems. To make sure this is not the problem, goto System Preferences > Network > Advanced, click on the TCP/IP tab and where is says "Configure IPv4", select DHCP. Where it says, "Configure IPv6", set it to automatically. Select OK at the bottom then APPLY at the first window and then try re-connecting to your home network again... If this doesnt work I cant think off hand whats causing the problem. Try going to a genius bar in your local mac store? They're generally free unless you need to give the mac to the tech guys...
