[QUOTE="gipollard, post: 639961, member: 44666"] Thanks for your replies. Celica73 - my DLink router seems happy with 192.168.0.1 - I can access it using this ip with no problems using the wireless connection; it is only when I try using the ethernet cable that it can't connect - despite showing it is connected in the network diagnostics. Youthpastor - My ISP works fine with DHCP; again, wireless internet connection is not a problem, it's only when I disable the airport and try and connect to the router (same router, same config, same ip for router and laptop etc etc) that it spits the dummy. dtravis - ip address for router under the network settings depends on whether I'm setting it manually or not - at present it is set to 192.168.0.1. The router is setup to use static IP for the laptop client (found this easier for the wireless). I've tried using auto DHCP and it gives the router an ip like 162.254.xxx.xxx. When I use manual settings (192.168.0.1) I get green lights for ethernet connection and network settings in the diagnostics. Anything else and these also are red lights. Regards Geoff [/QUOTE]
