I've been struggling to get to the bottom of a wired connectivity issue which started earlier today. My internet connection dropped out and the modem/router rebooted (because of a problem at the exchange). Since then I have not been able to get my iMac wired connection working.
Here's what I checked so far:
All LAN ports on the router work (tested with a PC)
The cable works (also tested with the PC)
Connecting using AirPort works
Apple Hardware Test shows the ethernet port's MAC address in the hardware profile and the tests show no problems.
I've tried to change speed and duplex settings manually but nothing seems to get rid of the error.
I really want to be able to use a wired connection because I don't get a high enough speed for some things with AirPort.
Could anyone suggest what I should try next?
