I have a weird little scenario and maybe someone here can help.
When I plug my ethernet cable into my imac, the network connection will be available for only a couple of seconds before the computer says that the internet is not available.
When I plug my ethernet into a wireless router, the network is fine. When I plug an ethernet cord from the wireless router to the imac, the connection is fine, even after I turn off airport so I know I'm using the direct connection.
How come my computer won't read the direct connection from the cable modem? It can't be the cables because I use the same cables for the router setup.
Thanks for all of your help!
