Two days ago, my computer stopped being able to access the internet. I can ping, I can see other computers on the network...but I cannot access the internet. I called my administrators to see if my MAC got blocked for some reason, and they said no. I have no idea what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you have any idea how your computer is connected to the Internet/Network, and what are you using to do so.

Otherwise my guess is that it does not connect because the string got severed or the battery is empty.;)

Yeah, I've basically narrowed it down to the DNS. My school's DNS does not work, and two other DNS's (which should work) also do not work.

Yeah, I pretty much figured that out...the DNS works for everyone else, though...

Ok...I got another ethernet card, and put it in. My connection held for about 20 minutes, and died again. Anyone?
