Internet suddenly stopped working, though still connected to the internet
I have the following:
Mac OS X
Version 10.5.8
The internet suddenly stopped working on my laptop. I've used my home wireless connection for months and a couple days ago the internet quit on me. It still says it's connected to my home wireless and I have full signal, but the internet won't work on any browser.
I've scowered the forums for help and tried lots of things but nothing has worked! I've gone into Network Preferences and deleted the AirPort and created a new one. I've looked up the DNS and it shows that it's connected to my Belkin router so I don't think it's the router, but who knows. I've reset the PRAM, deleted the System Configuration folder. I've rebooted after each one of these but still the internet isn't working.
The only thing I haven't tried that I saw in the forums was Pinging...mostly bc I'm not exactly computer savvy and have no idea what that is.
Any help would be greatly apprecited!!
