I couldn't wake up mu late 2011 MacBook Pro (17", OSX 10.8.5) that was put asleep by closing the lid. I had to turn the power off and on to restart it. It booted without any apparent problem. However, upon logging back in, network application layer does not seem to be working:

- ping of any local or remote machine succeds, whether using a numerical IP address (104.96.132.166) or a URL (www.apple.com)
- Neither Safari nor Chrome browsers work. Eg. Safari error message is:
>> Safari can't open the page "www.apple.com". The error is "The operation couldn't be completed. Input/output error" (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:5)<<
- Connecting to a local network drive via afp fails.
- Connecting to a remote server via ssh fails. When run with verbose option on, it reports that connection has been established and times out waiting for authentication to complete.
- Apple Mail client can't access mail servers at Apple and Google.
- ftp fails to connect to a remote server.

Note that the firewall is off. Haven't noticed any revealing error messages in the console system log file.

It appears that the forced reboot has damaged something, but what? How can I fix this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
