So my friend is having a problem connecting through an ethernet cable to his macbook. It was working fine until he was in macosx and he was "searching for proxies". Now in mac osx he can get his homepage and navigate around that flawlessly, but he cannot go to any other webpage....atleast most of the time....sometimes it will take him to youtube, and ebay. But things still will not work properly. If he is in the windows portion of his harddrive, he can use the internet flawlessly....i don't think its a problem with his computer because we took it somewhere else and manually connected it and it got internet fine....execpt his roomate is plugged into the router and using his dell pc fine....does anyone know what the issue could be?

Is he behind a proxy? If not, go to Network preferences, double-click the ethernet connection, click the Proxies tab, and make sure all proxies are turned off. If he is behind a proxy, he'll need info about the proxy server to enter so he can get out to the Internet.
