I installed Lion a few weeks ago when it was released, and everything worked fine until yesterday. I turned on my computer and now it cannot connect to the internet, though it is connected to my home network.
I tried the basic network fixes first - rebooting, restarting the router, and so on. This didn't work, so I looked online and found that many others were having the same issue.
It is definitely an issue with the OS, since all other devices can connect to the internet, and wifi works fine in Boot Camp and the Recovery HD partition. Ethernet also works fine.
Here's what I've tried so far:
- Rebooting and restarting router
- Resetting PRAM
- Repairing disk permissions
- Clearing out /System/Library/Caches
- Changing my router to a different channel and b/g instead of n
- Changing my DNS
- Removing all "remembered" networks
None of this has worked. Has anyone out there had the same problem and fixed it? I'd rather not have to reinstall Lion!

I solved it thanks to a tip from another site. I deleted the /System/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder after backing it up to my desktop. I hope this helps someone!
