I convinced the daughter of a friend to buy a Mac and she did. She then phoned to say she was having problems connecting to the Internet. Assuring her it was easy, I went around only to leave an hour later baffled.
She has a new Macbook and plugged it into their home router (which also happily connects a Dell). Going to System Preferences->Network shows values against IP address, Subnet mask and Router (and says 'You are connected to the Internet') but we couldn't get up browser windows.
So I tried connecting my own macBook, which I've used in dozens of networked environments. Same problem. The Dell was working. The Network was connected to use DHCP.
In desperation I tried pinging, and this is what I got
sean-haffeys-powerbook58:~ msjhaffey$ ping www.ibm.com

Does that mean anything to anyone? I feel I am being stupid, but remain baffled.
