Problem description: My Macbook pro connects to my wireless network fine, but it cannot access the internet once it's connected. Opening a web page hangs on "Resolving host." Every other device connected to the network works fine, and the laptop works when I connect it to the router via an ethernet cable. Likewise, the laptop works fine on other wireless networks. Strangely enough, when I connected a DIFFERENT router to the modem, the issue persisted. I haven't had any issues with it before, so I'd appreciate any advice on how I can go about diagnosing and correcting the problem.

Attempted fixes:
-Deleting the network/password from the laptop and rejoining.
-Restarting laptop
-Power cycling modem, router
-Swapping out routers

Recent changes: No

I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

Thanks to anyone who might have worked on this, but somehow I resolved it. I was using Google's DNS servers on the network (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). For some reason, removing them and then readding them seems to have resolved the problem...
