 Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2005 11:56 am Post subject: Safari problem |
 |
|
My network status shows 'connected to the internet via built in ethernet' - despite this I cannot use safari which constantly says 'can't find server' - I can't get to my email server either. I'm connected to a wireless network (from a Mac mini) using a Linksys Wireless Ethernet bridge.
Can anyone help? |

Then your mini thinks that you're trying to connect to the internet using the ethernet port. You're not. You've gotta change your settings so you connect to your wireless network, no a wired one.

Clarification: Everything connects except for Safari and Mail?

If he's using a wireless bridge, than he would connect to that using Ethernet. What this sounds to me is that you aren't resolving a DNS server so that you are connected to the network, but you can't resolve DNS hosts to IP addresses to connect to them online.
Go to Applications->Utilities->Network Utility. Go to the ping tab and try to ping the IP address of another computer on your network. If you can do that, I'm right about the DNS server problem.
What you can do is go to Network under System Preferences and select your Built-in Ethernet connection. Type in the IP address of your router that is actually connected to the internet as a DNS server and then click Apply Now. This should fix it.
