[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1878966, member: 307555"] I occasionally have a device that just won't "phone home" to get an IP address. In that case I manually assign one on the stubborn device. To manually set your network settings in the iMac - in advanced under tcp/ip change Using DHCP to manual and input the settings for your network. Example: IP address: 192.168.0. 50. ( assuming your network has "0" in the third spot.) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Router: 192.168.0.1 ( this is only an example as I have no idea what the ip address is of your local router.) Look at the settings under System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> TCP/IP on a connected Mac will give you all the above information. You can put that in manually on the one having issues if it is not connected BUT be sure to change the IP address! All you need to do is use the first three sections (192.168.0.xxx )and change the forth one to what ever you like or if it has an IP address make it the manual one so it can not change. I hope I am explaining this clearly. [/QUOTE]
