MacBook – Web pages won’t load but network is working

airportmacbook proNetwork

I can't get web pages to load on my MacBook Pro. Airport connects with the router and ping tests work fine (on www.google.com) but web pages aren't loading in any browser in any user account. Internet works on all other devices.

Worked fine until yesterday when it just stopped working.

Update:

Very strange. I tried three routers and had the same problem with all of them. I then created a new admin user account on my Mac and the internet worked on it. When I returned to my own account – the internet was working again!

Any idea why this would happen? It seems creating a new admin account and then coming back solved it.

Deleting the wifi icon and shutting down fixed the same issue for me as well
