[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1879434, member: 396914"] That is very strange about the Ethernet. A green dot normally means it is connect and working just fine. What is the IP number assigned to the Ethernet interface? (Each interface has its own IP number.) Browsers use the DNS services to find things in the Internet, so if the DNS service is not working, you can have solid connections and still not get anything from the Internet. Just to be sure, the changes you made to add the three DNS numbers I suggested were done AFTER you changed to Automatic, right? If not, you need to add them again with Automatic selected because each option in that box have their own settings. Yes, it's confusing, but that's how the Internet was set up. [/QUOTE]
