[QUOTE="Osiris22x, post: 38228, member: 3542"] First of all, make sure your cable modem is plugged into the "WAN" port of your router. Make sure you have a link light on both ends. Second, after you connect, ping your router (usually 192.168.1.1) to see if you're even connecting. It sounds like you're not, if the OS is warning you that it's using a self-assigned address. I'm guessing your router's DHCP isn't turned on. You can always try assigning a static IP address to your Mac. If none of this makes any sense to you, then go to the router's website and read the directions from scratch. [/QUOTE]
