Q: Airport says connection is strong but unable to load pages

This is a new problem within the last couple of days. My Internet was working totally fine but all of a sudden now it says it is connected but web pages won't load at all with google chrome (up to date) or any other server. I've tried restarting the modem and router, the computer itself many times, resetting the location, resetting the DHCP lease, restarting "PRAM". Ethernet wasn't working either but I'm not sure that that is related. Network diagnostics says the Internet is connected. The wifi on my iPhone is working totally fine. I've tried emptying the cashe and no proxies are checked off. I've tried other wifi networks nearby which also don't work on my MacBook but my roommates aren't having any trouble at all with their pcs. Please help!!

I'm using a MacBook pro 2009 with os x 10.6.8, 2.26 GHz intel core 2 duo.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    Hmmm... Maybe I'll try that. I brought it to apple today and they messed around with it for a while. They created a new user accout under which the internet still didnt work. They tried running it from an external operating system which worked so they reinstalled the operating system for me. Strangely enough, the Internet then worked on the user they had created but not on my original user. So now I have to create a time machine backup (for whatever reason that couldnt use the WD formatted backup) and bring it back so they can delete everything and reinstall the operating system.

    that couldnt use the WD formatted backup

    WD drive from the factory will have a Windows partition Map.

     

    For Time Machine, the drive must be partitioned in Disk Utility with ( Options ) GUID Partition Map and a Volume Mac OS X Extended (journaled).

    I'm having this problem as well. I notice this post is months old, so if anyone has a solution to this problem that doesn't involve going to apple I would appreciate it a lot.
