Safari does not load any site but there is Internet connection A friend of mine asked me to help with his MacBook as Safari didn't load any site.

I connected to his computer using TeamViewer (so internet is basically working), and then did a ping on Google.com, which worked. His Mac runs on OSX 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) with Safari 5.x.

I've tried a few things including:


PRAM reset
Delete cookies and browser cache
DNS flush
Delete cookies/cache/plist in Library
Delete and reinstall Safari.app


Non working. I tried downloading Firefox using curl but that seems also not to work.

Any idea what could be wrong?

edit:
No proxys active
I solved by making sure the network settings not picking any proxy options under Network > Advanced > Proxies.
