I have recently purchased the Mac OS X 10.6.3 software (outdated i know!). But i need to use software update for me to be able to get 10.6.8 and have access to using final cut pro which is what i really need. So i try to do this but it keeps on saying i'm not connected to the internet. Recently i have had a ethernet cable running through the house to connect to my xbox, so I thought id connect it to the mac so it has a good connection. Now the mac is hardwired straight to the router and should have a good connection. When I open network preferences and select ethernet, it tells me it is connected. However i still cant use software update, or even use the internet.
Any ideas?

It is connected but what does it say, it should show something similar to the screenshoy below.
