So I just bought a new iMac and I have no Ethernet connection. At least not when I'm connected through a switch. I have a wired network in my house where everything is connected to a switch which in it's turn is connected to a router. What I've tried so far:
1. DHCP connected to switch - fail
2. Manual settings with static ip, connected to switch - fail
3. Connecting iMac directly to router - pass
4. Wlan - pass
I have windows machines and other devices such as media players (popcorn hour) connected to this network and they all get ips and everything works fine. I have verified that routing tables are ok when I have a manual setup but still ping to my router and other machines does not work.
Any ideas? I'm ready to return this one...
