Having a strange problem. When my Mac is connected to the internet, it brings down the entire network environment.
Mac is connected to a school network environment.

Any suggestions?

It might be a hardware problem with the Macs network card.

When a NIC cards bites the dust, one convenient and affordable solution is to buy a detachable, external networking card. These also go by the names of adapter and dongle. The lion's share of these devices plug into a USB port and broadcast a wireless signal, but there are also plenty of external networking cards for wired connections. Installing the hardware is typically painless and requires only that the reader download and install the device driver software onto the computer (some even do this automatically).

Good Luck
