My wife took her 2019 MB Pro running the latest version of Ventura to a genealogy center to do some research. She successfully logged on to their network by entering the network name and password but then, after opening Firefox was unable to access any website. She restarted and tried again and again could not connect: the gearwheel would spin and spin w/ no result. However, there were numerous other Mac computers at the center that were successfully logging on to websites using the Chrome browser. My wife tried to go to Google.com, Apple.com, etc., sites to which she had often gone in the past and all timed out. She of course could not get to the Google site to d/l Chrome. Management at the center could only speculate that there must be some setting on her computer that was preventing her from loading any sites.
I took her Mac and connected to our neighbor's WiFi and was able to load any and all sites.
Anyone have any idea what might have caused this. What setting she might have inadvertently "tripped" to cause this?
Many thanks as it is a complete mystery to me.
