[QUOTE="ukchucktown, post: 1221117, member: 129039"] I'm not sure I agree his machine is not connected to his network. The screenshot he posted shows his computer connected with an IP address. If his router address is actually 192.168.1.1 and there are not other issues then 192.168.1.22 should work fine. All he needs to do for confirmation is test with ping from another computer on his network. If the ping test fails he should direct connect to his router and test again. I'm not trying to resolve his DNS issues. I'm pointing out his DNS is probably wrong so don't try testing with DNS names. To test Internet access try pinging 74.125.91.147. That's a Google server. One more suggestion: disable your AirPort connection while you are testing. It's not a good test of your Ethernet connection if the Airport is active and working. [/QUOTE]
