Beth, Try this. Connect to the Internet and open a browser and type in http://17.254.0.91 and press return. If you get to Apple's web site, you have a flakey DNS server from your ISP. If this is the case, use a manual DNS entry. This will override the DNS number you are getting from your ISP. This should work: 198.41.0.4 192.36.148.17 Type both of these into your DNS field in the Network Preference Pane. Then reconnect to the Internet and let me know if it was successful.
