10a432 No internet Connection

[shadowswan]

Hey all
Please dont flame me for not being a dev but for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade to SL ahead of time, mainly due to impatience! However I now have no internet connection, it shows I have an IP address and everything works fine in windows on my MBP however when I boot to SL no go... Have tried re-installing and no luck... any ideas?

You could have downloaded an image with a trojan for all anyone here knows. Put your old OS back on there and wait like the rest of us.

Did you go into network preferences?

My Mac picked up everything automagically, but I still had to go into network preferences and let it set up. Once you do that, your good to go.

Not a particularly helpful answer there... and if I do that I will lose all my data as the time machine backup is no longer compatible also surely its better to wait 5 days? The 'version' in question seems to work fine on another Mac mind....

Choose an older time machine back up and roll back to 10.5

how are you connected to the internet? wireless or wired?

thats strange that it won't connect. did you get the image from a legit private tracker or just a random public one? i highly doubt you downloaded a spyware version of SL.

Downloaded from warez-bb a reputable poster... and tried wirelessly, not had a chance wired yet but will try when I get back tonight and yes opened network prefs to check ips and such....

FIXED

For all interested I had to delete the 'Airport' interface and re-add it
