Internet works in VM but not native OS

I am running an Ubuntu 9.04 virtual machine in VirtualBox on my Macbook pro. As I understand, VirtualBox tricks the guest OS to think there's an wired ethernet connection and redirects traffic through the hosts' connection. So I find it very strange that the internet works perfectly well inside my virtual machine, but it doesn't work in the host OS. Any ideas?

Definitely strange. But, many have internet connection problems no matter what their circumstances. There are no good solutions yet. You could try what is suggested in this thread, but ....: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1924527.

Internet works on partition but not on my mac

Hello. My internet on my MacBook Air was working just fine, but suddenly it stopped being able to load any page stating the connection has timed out. It happens will safari, firefox and chrome. However, it works just fine in my Windows XP partition I have set up with VirtualBox. I'm not sure if relevant, but I recently updated from Lion to Maverick. Any recomendations?
Thanks!

Ah, after repeated restarts it seems to be working for the moment. Hopefully it is not a recurring incident.

Internet works on guest but not main network

We have an airport extreme connected to a Dsl modem. The internet works fine when connected to the guest network but when connected to the main network the browser just times out and says server is not responding (for any website we try). Same thing on several computers (iMac, 2 different MacBook Pros).
The internet settings look the same for both guest and main network so I don't understand why one would work and not the other.
I tried getting rid of the guest network but the main network still failed to load webpages (even though it appears to be connected to internet).

Are you connecting the AirPort Extreme to a simple modem (it will only have one ethernet port), or is the device a gateway (combination modem/router with 3-4 ethernet ports)?

Internet works on pc but not on mac

Hey everyone,, my internet that always bene working fine with my PC does not work so well with my powerbook, many pages that is working 100% correctly on my PC can not be seen in Safari.
I would like to point out that internet does work on my mac but not even close to as good as on my PC.. any ideas how to fix this issue?

I am using Safari and Internet Explorer for mac & is connected too internet with my ADSL modem (0,5mbit). The problem is that webpages at random does not work. It can be apple.com, Cnn.com, etc. Any webpage at all. Webpages that is working without any problems att all when I use my PC

Internet works on Win7, but not Lion

Okay, I've tried everything I can think of and I have no idea what to do next, as I've never really been a "networking" guy. I have a mid-2010, 15" MBP. I recently installed Win7 through Boot Camp, though this problem has existed since before that. Whenever I try to access the Internet while on the OSX partition, it is possible to usually load one or maybe two pages. After that, my connection comes to a virtual standstill and no other pages will load. If I am in Chrome, the browser keeps displaying "Sending request..." until it times out. It doesn't matter which brower I use though, all have the same problem. All the while, my Mac says that I have a solid connection. If I try to load something in more than one tab at once, then the connection stops almost immediately. Even if I have an ethernet cable connected and Wi-Fi disabled, the problem still persists.
Now for the strange part. If I switch over to the Win7 partition and try to access the Internet, it works fine. I can open as many things in as many tabs as I want and it'll still work great. I've never had any problems with it while running Windows, so I'm guessing that it's something goofy in the settings on the Mac side, but for the life of me I can't find out where. Here are some of the things that I've tried doing:
     - I've tried changing the DNS settings and possibly using some other services (i.e. OpenDNS, Google DNS, etc.) but it doesn't help. I don't think it's      necessarily a DNS problem at this point, as I've tried directly going to an address (http://74.125.224.82/ instead of google.com, for example) and I have the      same problem.
     - On a recommendation, I've tried deleting /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist to try and reset my network settings. Nothing.
     - I've deleted all wireless networks and tried re-entering the information for my Wi-Fi connection, but still get the same problem.
     - I've reset my cable modem (NetGear CG3000D) more time than I can count.
And like I said, since I'm not a networking guy I can't think of anything else to try and fix it off the top of my head. I've been getting ping times of ~35ms, which seems pretty reasonable. A small amount of packet loss (~14%) occurs every now and then, but for the most part it's solid.
So does anyone out there have any ideas what could be wrong? I can provide additional information if needed. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Flash Player works in Safari but not Internet Explorer 9

I've installed Flash Player 10.3 and it works in Safari but not Internet Explorer 9. When I look in Manage Add-Ins I see Flash Shockwave but not Flash Player. My operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit). Safari is 5.0.5 and IE 9 is 9.0.8112.16421. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Flash Player and uninstalling Norton 360. Nothing has worked so far. Can you help?

Thank you for your reply. Shockwave is loaded and enabled.
The files in flash directory are: a folder called FlashPlayerTrust: file, flash10q.ocx: file, FlashInstall.log; file, FlashUtil10q_ActiveX.dll; file, FlashUtil10q_ActiveX.exe, file, install.log.
There is no file: NPSWF32.dll.
When I test the browsers I get no spinning logo in either Safari or IE9. Safari says: missing plug-in, where I think the logo should be. IE-9 says nothing at the same location.
Thanks.

Wifi works at home but not when away from home

My Wifi works at home but not when away from home, what is wrong? I thought with a phone plan I didn't need to have a wifi connection.

You either need WiFi or Cellular (or both). If you have neither, you can't connect to the internet.
Most people use WiFi at home and Cellular while away from home, or connect to public WiFi networks where there are some.

Rollovers work in Netscape but not IE?

I have the rolloverbuttons working great with Netscape but when I run my app in IE the images aren't showing up. The jar is loading fine and when I use the default rollovers ( [ROLLOVER]exit ) they work fine, but my images aren't showing up. Thanks for any and all help.
Jeremy.

I didn't see any errors when I looked at yourhome page in IE7 (on Vista). So which page elements were producing an error and what was the error you were seeing? Did you delete the cache in IE7 to check whether it was a caching problem? Tools > Internet Options > Browsing history (choose to delete)?

Madison Square Garden web site opens but when I click on view all concerts tab at the MSG site it does not open. It works with AOL but not Firefox

I go to '''www.thegarden.com''' I click on the tab '''View Full Calendar'''. It does not open. It works on AOL but not Firefox. And for some reason it also does not work when I use Internet Explorer. The majority of times when I click on that tab (in Firefox) it does not work. On a rare occasion it will open. I am not doing anything differently either time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Published interactive project works in IE but not in Chrome???

My buttons and interactions are working through an Internet Explorer browser, but loose their functionality when play via Chrome. Anyone have any ideas?

If it works in IE but not FF, then it has nothing to do with the mp3s. More likely it's because of the HTML on the page.
To start, page is missing DOCTYPE declaration... a MAJOR problem. The DOCTYPE declares which set of rules the browser will use to display the page. Without it, different browsers go crazy or do not work at all.

Validate the html code here:

You will have to fix all the errors if you want this to work in all browsers.

Rollovers & actions work in Firefox but not IE

Hello,
The site www.lamps-on-line.com has rollovers and actions created a few years ago in GoLive and now these effects only work in Firefox, but not in Interenet Explorer (IE7), which displays page errors. Is there a way to fix this? I acknowledge that the site needs replacing but while it's still running my client wants it fixed.
I set up a test page at www.lamps-on-line-com/test.html in which I took off all rollovers and actions, and this loads OK but I really don't want to have to resort to doing this on every page.
I wondered if it is somrthing to do with 'Doctype'?
Hope someone can help.
Stephen

Flash shockwave 11.5 works for youtube but not amazon instant video

Shockwave 11.5 r502 works for Youtube but not for Amazon Instant Video.

Hi,
It asked me if I wanted to install something to make the videos load faster -
Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Might be lurking there. If so, select the plugin then click Uninstall.
Check:
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins (~) Tilde character represents your Home folder
Check:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
/Library/Application Support
/Library/Input Managers
And check your Safari downloads folder. If the file is still there, double click to open. Might be an uninstaller you can use.
Help here for troubleshooting Flash
