I have a NetComm NB6Plus4W ADSL2+ Modem Router ( NB6Plus4W Rev1: NetComm ) that I use to connect to the internet.
I am trying to connect my Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (current model) to it via the ethernet cable. It connects, but is having issues, i.e. no internet. In Network Preferences it says: "Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet." (it makes no differences if I turn AirPort wifi on or off).
So what I have done to resolve this is to test both the ethernet cable and the Modem Router. Now I know the modem router works fine as I'm currently connected to it and using the internet through it so that I can type this up.
To test the cable I plugged it in to a Lenovo PC running Microsoft Windows Vista, the PC picked up the network and connected to the internet no dramas.
So I therefore assume the issue lies with the MacBook or some setting.
Any ideas?
