Upgraded to OS X lion and now I cannot connect to the Internet. Wifi or hard wired. Any ideas?

After upgrading to lion I cannot connect to the Internet anymore. I have tried wifi and hard wired. Network preferences shows that I have an IP address and my DNS is listing correctly but still cannot connect. I can't even access my routers IP address to get into configuration. Any ideas?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

wifiguru: I had this issue and followed the steps by typing in sudo mv... and sudo rm... commands. However, when I tried to run the sudo rm command it came back with no such file or directory. However, everything works now. I booted up several times and I now have internet connection. So thanks much!!


I have one question, even though I have the firewall back turned back on, is still virtually disabled by renaming that file???

I have managed to recreate the error (I have been error free for nearly a week) and then go back to normal operations again.


What I did was:

Error mode: set Channel to AUTO

Working mode: set Channel fixed to 5.



pls try it and verify yourself, but make sure you have a cable to connect your Mac to your APE, because when you can't get a wifi connection you can't change the channel either.

Lion disappointed me. I choose to upgrade simply to use the iCloud service, to syn my contacts, bookmark, calendar etc. The wifi problem disturbed me for so long. After numerous attempts, I figured out inputting the TCP/IP and DNS maunally fixed the problems. It works for me, hope it works for those who still annyoned by Lion.
