My Mac will not connect to the internet at my work, when I try it tells me timed out. My boss said the server does not support macs, however thats hard to believe. Any suggestions on what to do?
MacBook, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
Most likely, the company's access to the Internet is through a proxy service. You would need to know what this service requires to properly set up your Mac to be able to access the Internet when connected to their network. I suggest that you start by contacting your company's IT department for assistance.
Once you have this information, you would use System Preferences > Network to enter the proper settings. I would suggest that you create a new Network Location just for work and create another for non-work locations.
Specifically you want to enter the proxy information in either the Ethernet or Wi-Fi settings, depending on how you connect to your work's network. Then go to Advanced > Proxies tab.
