[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 963283, member: 131855"] The easiest way to guarantee that the Mac is connected via wire instead of wireless is to do one of the following: 1. Open the Networking preference pane. If the padlock is locked click on the lock and enter an administrator password. Drag the network connections in order so that Ethernet is first and Airport is further down the list. Now close the preference pane 2. Option 2 is to turn off your Airport network card. this forces the Mac to look for a wired connection. Either way should work fine. The advantage of the first option is that the mac will look for a wired connection but move on to the Airport when an ethernet connection isn't available. Most of the time the entire process will happen without you noticing. It's one of the things I love about OS X. [/QUOTE]
