[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1547444, member: 38928"] Apologies got it the wrong way round. A self assigned address like that occurs when the router is refusing to connect to the device. Could be a setting on the router. But to rule out the Mac you can completely reset the network settings: In Finder go to: yourMacHD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist Rename the preferences.plist to preferences.old Restart your Mac Attempt to reconnect to your network and try again If that doesn't work then do the same thing but for the whole SystemConfiguration folder that the above plist is in.
