Safari says "not connected to Internet" when launched

First off, I would like to say that these communities are so helpful in assisting me with my glitches. All the feedback and suggestions I receive always help resolved my problem.


Since updating to 10.7.5, I've noticed that when never I startup up my computer,, then open my safari to browse the internet, sometimes I get an error page saying that I am not connected to the Internet. I have an ethernet connection and the green light under network preferences sats i am connected. This doesn't always happen but usually a few times a week. If I restart my machine again it usually connects no probl.


Any advice on what might be happening?


My safari version is 6.0.5.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Try repairing permissions.


Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities


Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.


Select: Repair Disk Permissions


This can take a few minutes and better to not use your Mac while it's running.



When it's finished, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
