Networkweb-browser
I have a MacBook with OS X 10.6.8 and I am getting "no data received" on Google Chrome, "the connection was reset" on Firefox and "cant open the page" on Safari.
Google search engine works on Chrome and Firefox but nothing on Safari. Scanned the system with my antivirus and found no issues. Cleared the cookies and cache on all browsers and main system with no change. Mac Office did an update prior to this problem but can't seem to get out of this.
Ok. I fixed it.
A bit of more details first.
dig / nslookup / host commands were working. So I actually had access to internet.
The problem was ping and all Browser using the System resolver that was not working.
I unload then reloaded the /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist with the -w option. And it worked.
Hope it can help,
Firefoxes is a shell scripts that will install all major versions of Firefox on OS X, and set up separate profiles so you can use them simultaneously. Currently it installs:
You can set it up so it only installs the specific versions you want.
Optionally, the script can install Firebug for each version of Firefox too.
It will also set icons that contain the version number:
For Safari, check out Multi-Safari.
For Chrome/Chromium, install any version you want, change the app name from Chromium.app to e.g. Chromium 19.app for clarity, then disable auto-updates for that version.
Download old Opera versions here: ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/mac/
Get VirtualBox and then run this ievms script. It will automatically download legal Windows images for testing purposes and set up virtual machines for every IE version you need.

Well, you can start the process of elimination. If you are wifi can you switch to ethernet or vice versa? Are the other computers on the same local network able to connect?
Based on my experience, I can guess that hardware is beginning to fail somewhere. A switch, router or your network adapter. Have you rebooted all of those?
