No internet connection after installing yosemite

After installing Yosemite, I have no internet connection. If I hold option key, my wifi description shows Internet as unreachable,although all my bars are dark and the rest of the settings look the same. When I connected via cable, it did not show an Ethernet connection. My pc and iPad work fine,so it isn't my carrier. Anyone else have this problem and know a fix??? Thanks so much for any assistance..

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

"Installed the update(10.10.1) but this did not fix the "no internet" problem for me. Now I will try deleting those 2 plists as csukal suggested."


This did not do the trick.


Oh, eljefe400, you are genius. It took me only 4 min to delete that mDNS file and now it works as it should. Restarting my Mac does not stop internet connection. Thank you very very much!

What worked for me was to disable Bonjour protocol in Adium. I've read on some forum that Bonjour causes crash of discoveryd which is responsible for DNS resolving. I had a problem every hour. The ping to IP address would work but not to domain name. However host command would resolve the domain name to IP. After discoveryd was restarted (eg from activity monitor) everything was ok until discoveryd was running on 100% cpu. Then the DNS was not being resolved anymore. Disabling bonjour protocol fixed everything.

Barry_23,


I followed your advice:


"here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9wGd7QYMi6BUmJORjJoZDF2bDg/view?usp=sharing


1. download and unzip

2. replace content of /System/Library/Launch Daemons with the one you just downloaded

3. reboot. done."

I did that with high hopes, and copied the initial Lunch Daemon folder on the desktop just in case.

However, the problem I face now is that the rebooting takes forever. I am watching the bar stopped about half-way.

I am afraid I am stuck.

Re-booting in safe mode did not make any difference.

Any suggestions highly appreciated,

Viorel

In my LaunchDaemons folder I have only 12 items on my Mac Pro (6 on my MB Air) and none of them are "com.apple". The downloaded folder contains 89 files where all are com.apple. So - is it still any point in updating LaunchDaemons folder? I am afraid that I will loose some stuff and get some new stuff I don't need.

I think the problem some people are having in not finding the files, is they are looking in the wrong directory. There is a Library/LaunchDaemons directory, and a System/Library/LaunchDaemons directory. The files in question are found in the System/Library/LaunchDaemons directory.


In other words, from the root level, start by opening your System folder, NOT the Library folder. The Library folder you want is inside the System folder.


In fact, for some folks that are having their computer hang on restart, you may have replaced the wrong LaunchDaemon folder. Just a thought.
