imac won't connect to internet

Hello,


My iMac will not connect to the internet correctly. I know the internet is working because my wife is using her laptop wirelessly, and my software updates are still working.


Some pages open, but are corrupted and not laid out correctly, (amazon and BBC News). I have tried to connect wirelessly, and failed. I have emptied the cache and reset safari. I have tried firefox and the same thing has happened.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks


Tim

Hello Tim,


Hi, this has worked for a few...


Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...


http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712


10.7 & 10.8…


System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.



10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...


System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.


The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.


Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.


For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
