  • OS X cannot browse internet

    Hello everyone

    First of all I want to let everyone know that I'm not very familiar with OS X so
    please bare with me.

    I just got a Powerbook G4 15 1GHZ, this is my first apple notebook, last year I got the iMac as soon as they came out, and I have been using it for home use (office, internet browsing, cd burning, etc)

    At home I have DSL connection shared through a Windows XP and a Wireless network.
    I was able to set up the airport network and everything worked ok from home, file sharing, computer browsing, internet browsing.

    I took the computer to work where I am going to use the built ethernet, I gave the computer a fixed ip address, configured the DNS, the router but here is where my problems start, with the configuration I set up (basically the same as my home configuration) I am able to browse the network (windows domain computers), I am able to use MSN messenger (so I know I have internet access), I
    can ping any web addres (example, if I ping www.fark.com , I get the name resolved and get response from the server) but I cannot get the pages to load in
    safari, or internet explorer.

    Anyone out there have an idea?

    Thanks

    Does your network at work have a web proxy?

    You have to use a web proxy?

    It's the Only Way. mmmmm... Wish I could do it at work, but they're
    too conservative. <sigh>


    I say I don't have an idea :)

    Could be worse. At least you don't tell yourself to get a real computer!


    Sorry but I've been working with Windows since the beginning, and I could get almost everything to work in OS X, so this just has me thinking a lot about it,
    and reading everywhere but no fix yet...

    Now I've really got to *think*. A challenge!

    We do have a firewall, but this address has access to go outside of it..

    why would messenger go through and connect and send files and text?

    If configure it to use our web proxy I get an authentication error

    I would suggest that there's a firewall at your office blocking your web >access.
