Mac Ethernet Troubleshooting

January 31, 2008 in Uncategorized by Laura | No comments

I wanted to quickly share these great tips that everyone provided when I could not access the web from my client’s site. Thank you very much for the assistance. I will clean up the post and insert hyperlinks later on.

  • Starman @istarman Under the Network System Preference, make sure that Built-In Ethernet is green, and that you have an IP that doesn’t start w/169
  • hilary tyler @podcrawl Command-K
  • scottypboston @scottypboston - I had that problem on my macbook pro. I set up a location that disabled wifi and used only eth to resolve it.
  • Michael De Leon @mdeleon - Try renewing the DHCP License. Could be that it was tied to the other computer’s MAC address
  • Steven Buehler @revtriste - Check that the wired interface is included in your location profile?
  • Philip Campbell @philcampbell - check the light on the other end, try another cable, try a reboot with cable in - de-activate wifi, refresh dhcp in network set..
  • Adele McAlear @adelemcalear - Make sure your Apple Talk is on; Make sure port is on (may be off if you use wireless)
  • Wayne MacPhail @wmacphail - Try turning off Airport
