Hi Daniel, yes indeed it was the Intego thing. As soon as I read this it reminded me of the NetNanny program I used a long time ago. I thought I had done a full uninstal when I decided to no longer use it but still the kernel file remained. Regards Pete.

Glad you got it all working. I’ve had a similar job to that one as well. (The culprit was s similar thing by Intego). Same error message and similar fix for it. It’s due to the part of that software not being fully optimised for the System. (So the two don’t play well together.) Glad you saw the full error message in the end. And all is working.

Well, short story I have fixed this issue from the most unexpected thing. There was a kernel file relating to NetNanny which was a third party security program not been used for many many years. I had in my fury omitted to look clearly at the message Safari was giving me each time it failed. All l saw was “Not f..... working”! But tonight after a bit of calming I took a closer look. The message provided by Safari indicated this error code. “NSPOSIXErrorDomain:1”. When I googled this I got the third party security program issue and so I went hunting for stuff - it provided some locations to go looking. I found one solitary file “NetNanny Kernel Ext”. I trashed it and after a restart, bingo! Amazing. I would never have though that something that has been lurking there for years and not a problem since then and coinciding with an OSX update this all of a sudden became a problem. > > Lesson for me is to look at the error code next time! > > I hope this can help others in some small way. > > Regards > > > Pete > > On 4 Jun 2019, at 7:46 pm, Ronda Brown wrote: > >> Hi Peter, >> >> Have you run Wireless Diagnostics on Jo’s MBP? >> >> Your Mac can use Wireless Diagnostics to perform additional analysis. >> • Quit any apps that are open, and connect to your Wi-Fi network, if possible. >> • Hold down the Option key and choose Open Wireless Diagnostics from the Wi-Fi status menu . >> • Enter your administrator name and password when prompted. >> Wireless Diagnostics begins analyzing your wireless environment: >> >> Kind Regards, >> >> Ronni >> >>> On 4 Jun 2019, at 8:13 am, petercr...@westnet.com.au wrote: >>> >>> Hi Ronni, thanks for that one. I had omitted to mention in my list of things that I had tried that I saw an online tip to try this one. So I did already try it and sadly it didn't resolve the issue. It does seem after some of these tests that it pauses momentarily (I am using Safari and select Google web page to put to the test) before getting the "no internet connection:" message. >>> >>> Will have a calm look at it again tonight, sometimes I feel that in trying some of these items, it is the order in which they are tried seems to make a difference, although i am unclear on which order is the right order, the order from my side seems to be random. >>> >>> Regards >>> >>> Pete. >>> >>> >>> >>> ----- Original Message ----- >>> From: >>> wamug@wamug.org.au >>> >>> To: >>> >>> Cc: >>> >>> Sent: >>> Tue, 4 Jun 2019 06:41:45 +0800 >>> Subject: >>> Re: MacBook Pro with Wifi signal but no Internet >>> >>> >>> Hi Peter, >>> >>> On Your wife’s MBP try: >>> Edit her Locations in Network Preferences. >>> In Edit Locations, from the drop-down click the “+” to create a new Location, name it “Automatic” (any name will do)... >>> The new location will setup new a new default WiFi (and Ethernet and FireWire) and hopefully will connect to the Internet immediately. >>> >>> Kind Regards, >>> Ronni >>> >>> Ronni Brown’s iPad Pro 12.9-inch 256GB >>> >>> >>>> On 3 Jun 2019, at 9:19 pm, Peter Crisp wrote: >>>> >>>> Hi folks, I have had the issue as noted in the subject line before many many times and I have been able to resolve albeit with many different methods. >>>> >>>> My wife’s MBP 2011 has developed this problem, not surprisingly coincident with the OSX update to 10.14.5. >>>> >>>> It all started when Jo said she had no sound from the MBA speakers. I did the usual settings review and then did a reboot. This resolved the sound issue. I can’t recall if this coincided with the update of the OSX too but the sound is fixed.
