The past week or two our campus network has been completely messed up because a lot of the computers on campus are Windows based and were plagued with the latest virus. Now some of the connections are messed up while others are fine. My roommates PC, as well as all the PCs around me, can access everything on the Internet just fine. They can access the web and email. My poor Macs cannot. All I can get is AOL Instant Messenger, and that's spotty at times. What's weird is that I cannot even access anything inside the campuses network (their homepage, email). I will probably have to talk to the network support guys about this but any ideas on why this might happen? The network guys at my school seem to not know what they're doing. Thank you!
 
check the gateway adress of your friends pc and try if you can ping that adress from your mac. If you can, the problem lies on your mac and shouldn't have anything to do with the network
