I am having a weird problem with my roommates mac. He can connect to the router (ping it and change settings by accessing it through the web page), but cannot connect to the internet. Other computers in the house connect to the inetnet through the wireless router, so that isn't the problem.
To make matters weirder, when i ping things it will resolve their ip address, but it will lose all the packets (i pinged facebook.com, and typed the ip address into a working computer and it worked just fine).
This made me think firewall, however i checked that and the firewall was turned off. I tried turning it on and adding a custom rule to allow traffic from port 80, but still no luck.
All this happened when he downloaded some updates. I'm very inexperienced with macs (hehe ), but im gonna try to find a way to revert these updates. Any other ideas in the mean time?
Thanks
