MacBook Pro not connecting to school internet! Big Issue! Please Help!

My school uses a service called solutionip.com. When you move into the dorms they give you a code to access the internet from. When you connect to the wireless network and try to use the internet, it automatically takes you to a solutionip website and asks you for your access code. My Mac originally did this, but then all of a sudden it stopped working. It doesn't automatically pull up the webpage, and even when we do get the webpage up. None of the codes we enter work, it begins to take the code and gets stuck in the process and eventually times out. The codes won't take at all. And they've all been new codes created for me by the school! I've done everything and my latest attempt at fixing this even had me delete everything in my computer to start over again! I'm going crazy here! I don't understand why my computer would do this! At first I thought it was Lion that I had installed and now I've restored my new MacBook Pro w/the iCore chip in it back to Snow Leopard. I'm going to try it tomorrow with snow leopard, see if that works. But if not. I'm at a loss. Any suggestions anyone? It's the only way I can get internet through the school. Sigh.

If you're doing everything right then it's an issue you need to take up with either the IT at your school and/or solutionip.com

MacBook Pro not connecting to the Internet in Europe (Germany)

I am trying to connect my computer to the internet in Germany. I was able to connect with no issues in Frankfurt. I am now in another city and the network requires a WPA password, which I have tried to enter. Everytime I enter the password, the message "connection timeout" appears. This seems to be an issue with only Mac computers, since everyone with a PC has no difficulty connecting. Anyone know how I can fix this problem?????

I also had several problems using WPA passwords in Europe but found ethernet connections worked fine. Some WPA connections worked without problems. While somewhat annoying I managed with the ethernet when necessary.
I didn't find out why the WPA's didn't always work.

Hi All, My MacBook will not connect to the internet at my apartment.

Hi All, My MacBook will not connect to the internet at my apartment. I live with 5 other people and it works for all of them. It worked for me until about 3 weeks ago. My internet works fine at other places like cafes or other folks' homes. I've tried many things but am having no luck at all. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them! Thanks!

Some routers (such as my Netgear) seem to work better if you input your device's MAC address manually while on their online site. That site address should be in the manual and usually starts with something like 192.168.x.x Once on that site, input your Mac's address - a series of numbers and letters i.e. 2f.3c.45.2a.xx.xx (go to Network Preference Pane, select Airport, click on Options: at the bottom it shows "airport ID". I have all my devices listed; with that you can create a special IP address i.e.192.168.1.1, .2, .3, and so on. I've never lost connection using that method.

Macbook Pro cannot connect to the internet even when others can

Hi! Please help me. We have an internet WIFI connection in our office but only my MacBook Pro cannot connect even when I entered the correct password. My Iphone and Ipad work just fine. It says "connection timeout" but all other laptops can connect. I tried network diagnostics already and it always say "connection timeout". I dont know what to do anymore.

Yes, and when I open the Network Utility it shows a working IP address, and a 54Mb/s speed from the wireless router. It even shows the shared computers from my roomates. But when I try to access the internet it does not load anything on Safari or Firefox ( or any other internet application for that matter). It is completely unconnected. YET, As soon as I activate the AirPort card on the top right where I have my signal strength, it shows on the Network Utility information that there are 'packages' being sent and received, and I have NO programs open what so ever, I have closed everything except finder and network utility... Does this mean I am being hacked, or have some sort of Trojan or something in my computer? I ran an antivirus that my school provided, called Virex by McAfee, it came out clean except it says it cannot read one file.
I tried repairing my disk, and that did not work either. I did the Ram reset like you suggested, but that also did not work. I doubt it being a hardware error. I am going to try to connect it to an ethernet cable to see if that will work. Then I will let you know what happens with that, but that would still not be a solution since I need it wireless, cause the router is in another part of the house.
Thank you for your help, and I hope we can get this sorted out.

My MacBook will not connect to the Internet, but all of my other devices connect perfectly.

I have a MacBook and it will not connect to the Internet. It connects to wifi, but then when I open Safari, the page does not load. I have tried forgetting the wifi network, deleting keychain passwords, and restarting the computer, but nothing has worked. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Did you set DNS Server properly?

I installed Lion today but to my dismay no Adobe CS programmes will run. I am informed that I must install a Java runtime followed by a declaration that I am not connected to the internet....help!

After installing Lion I tried to run Adobe Photoshop but A message informed me I must "...install Java runtime, but you are not connected to the internet." I am connected to the internet and after running a network diagnostic I was told that there doesn't appear to be a problem with my connection. Can anyone help me?

Macbook pro not connecting to the wireless internet

Hello All,
This is my very first mac (a macbook pro) and for some reason it sees my wireless router, and says connected, but when i open safari the pages doesn't load. I am a beginner with macs and I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
-Jay

You probably connected but failed to get an IP address. If you have other network devices turn them off, restart the router and see if you can get access to the Internet then. Otherwise click on the network diagnostics button (or which ever appears in Safari's failure) and see if it'll give you clues.
