[QUOTE="gipollard, post: 640769, member: 44666"] So close and yet.... Matt, didn't realise there was a separate MAC for the ethernet card, and yes, was using MAC filtering. Have added the ethernet card MAC now, and allocated it its own IP address. So with that, I cannot connect to the internet still, nor can I access the router. For a web page, it just says that 'computer is not connected to the internet'. For the router, it just hangs - doesn't say can't connect, but doesn't connect either (address box in safari starts the blue highlight thing, but doesn't get past about 1/4 - just stays there indefinately). Now the really stupid part is that I can connect to - and read and write files - my mybookworld drive, which is accessible only through the router. It's not making sense! Disfunction, yet to try your tip as I expected the MAC thing would fix it. Question - do I need to do the install DVD boot in order to do the preferences thing, or can I just do it? The ethernet adapter seems to work fine (otherwise couldn't access the network drive) - just can't see the stupid router.... [/QUOTE]
