[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 909332, member: 24098"] First off, I'd like to say '[B]thank you[/B]' for your service to this country. I know you probably don't often hear it from a complete stranger, but we appreciate the sacrifices you're making to help protect our way of life here. As to your questions - can you tell me a little bit about your Internet service? Is it wireless or wired? If the former, does it use any kind of encryption (i.e. do you have to enter a password/passphrase when you connect?). If the latter, open Network Utility (Applications => Utilities). Look at device 'en0' and see what the 'Default Gateway' is set to. Then open Terminal and see if you can ping that address. If you can, then try to ping [url=http://www.yahoo.com]Yahoo![/url]. If it doesn't hit anything, it's probably a DNS issue and can be sorted out by switching to a different DNS server (like [URL="http://www.opendns.com/"]OpenDNS[/URL]). If you need clarification on those steps, let me know. As to your issue with mpg files, be aware that mpegs can be encoded in several different ways. You may need to install a codec package like Perian, VLC media player (which comes with many different codecs) and/or DivX. [/QUOTE]
