Ok, My WiFi is ON. I DO have internet connection. It works fine. However, the exclamation mark shows on the wifi icon at the top of the screen and the alert says No internet connection. Why? I repeat, I DO have a connection.

Okay, perhaps my question is not clear. I DO HAVE AN INTERNET CONNECTION. The router and my computer are working fine. The internet works fine. I am connected. I can log in and ask this question. HOWEVER, the Alert on my computer still says No Connection to the Internet. And there is an exclamation point over the wifi icon on the top of my screen. So my question is, WHY DOES AN ALERT SAY I AM NOT CONNECTED WHEN I AM CONNECTED? And how can I fix this? Hope that makes more sense. Cheers, Bruce

No you don't.


My Mac desktop has Mountain Lion but does not show the ! on the wifi icon.


your post here is different from the original topic of discussion. It's generally better to start your own Topic, rather than adding onto an existing one="Threadjacking"


Please start a new topic about your issue so it can receive more focused attention as well as completing your system profile which is a complete blank.

Thanks for the response CMCSK... Although you insist I am "threadjacking" and not having this same issue, I am in fact - having the same issue as Bruce. Let me compare Bruce's entry to my own issues:


"I DO HAVE AN INTERNET CONNECTION" - same

"The router and my computer are working fine. The internet works fine. I am connected. I can log in and ask this question." - check. check. check. and check. all the same.

"HOWEVER, the Alert on my computer still says No Connection to the Internet. And there is an exclamation point over the wifi icon on the top of my screen." - again, the same.

"So my question is, WHY DOES AN ALERT SAY I AM NOT CONNECTED WHEN I AM CONNECTED?" - my exact question.


Bruce, your question was posted a while ago so it's possible you've fixed it. If not, I tried the advice found in this discussion and it seems to have solved my issue:

my original post: "I have a 2009 Macbook Pro." translation: "I am having this exact issue - it is happening on my 2009 Macbook Pro" === "there is an exclamation point over the wifi icon on the top of my screen"



"My Mac desktop has Mountain Lion but does not show the ! on the wifi icon." was for comparison sake only, to show that another computer in my Wifi network is not having this issue.



Let's focus on the issue here. Like before, I would like to share a solution that seems to have worked for me: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4092067?start=0&tstart=0
