[QUOTE="dooper, post: 947857, member: 132563"] Hi all, first of all,my regular machine is a pc so i'm troubleshooting someone elses lappy. Its an ibook with OSX Version10.4.11 It cannot connect to a DSL router either via etherent or airport. The setup in the router doesnt show it as connected/issued with a dhcp address. I browsed to network utility>info and viewed the various interfaces i.e for the aircard and also the ethernet and they both show nonsensical ip addresses. I did some research and found unix type commands to be issued via the termnial window to flush dns cache ?? I did that and it made no difference. I suspect the lappy might have picked up these idiot ip's during a router resynch. I need to flush them and then setup permannent dhcp ip's in the router for both interfaces.. So how do i clear the ip's? thanks jo Hi Larry..guess what..i have the same problem..!
