Hi Tilly To solve the loop :
Delete the folder : Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > System Configuration Reboot Open System Prefs and click on Network Set the "Show" menu to "Built in Ethernet" Type anything into the dns box then delete whatever you typed Click Apply Rejoin the network and see if that works. Essentially you're deleting corrupted system networking prefs, then recreating them using System Prefs.
