Unable to connect internet from any browser but chrome

I am on OSX Yosemite 10.10.3 on MacBook Pro (Early 2011) and I am not able to connect to internet from any browser except chrome. I am not even able to ping from terminal as well. Please help.

When I try to use diagnostics Internet and Server shows Red, rest all are Green.

Solution 1:

Open Network Preferences, and:

• verify IP

• verify gateway

• verify DNS

Your IP address is either static or dynamic. Static: you put in your IP info. Dynamic: your gateway provides the correct IP info.

Open Terminal.app, and type:

 ifconfig -a 

That will show you what network interfaces you have. One of these is your primary route and your default gateway. You can only have one default gateway. Even though you may have many interfaces (ethernet, wireless and firewire, etc), there's only one default way to go if the request is not local.

So check for default route by typing in Terminal.app:

netstat -nr | more

The top two resulting lines will tell you who's the boss.

Then ping the gateway.

ping <IP address>

If it doesn't work, reboot and try again. You should at a minimum ping your gateway and ping your DNS before it's worth it to troubleshoot individual applications.

Solution 2:

I had to reinstall Yosemite. Able to connect properly now.
