Hopefully someone else has this one :-)

I've a new Powerbook 15" and a snow base station connected to a LAN with a few other Macs.

Since this morning I can only connect to other Macs on the LAN via Airport. I have no external access! When wired to the LAN I have full access to everything, file sharing and internet access.

The only thing changed, is the latest "upgrade" to NetBarrier. However I don't see how this could be the cause, as my settings don't change between wired and Airport.

Obviously the Airport is working as I can access all other machines on the LAN, and other Airport machines on the network have internet access.

I have erased Netbarrier, and run the 10.2.8 combo update to try to fix this but no joy.

Anyone have any clues? I'm tearing my hair out here.

Thanks

See if you have a DNS problem. If you can connect to http://216.239.37.99 but not http://www.google.com, then you have a DNS problem. Entering the IP numbers for your ISP's primary and secondary domain name servers on separate lines in the Domain Name Server box in the TCP/IP prefs pane should solve the problem.
