[QUOTE="Jackolow, post: 628631, member: 45230"] I have this really bizzarre problem with my internet. I am running ethernet through uni and running tiger. For some reason my ethernet connecting to the internet doesn't work. When I connect the cable into the computer, it can detect a router, however in my istat bar it only shows updating on the part when it says 'ext'. I have all my settings right... but it still doesn't work. My ethernet only seems to start working only when I 'jump start' it by using a wireless internet connection. Once the wireless starts working, I can take it off and the ethernet works... and istat says that my ip is now my ext. ip. And I can't continue using the wireless because its not mine... which is why I want to try to fix the problem. I'm quite convinced that its a problem with my computer and not the server... and I've tried clearing my cache (to the best of my knowledge) and clearing my DNS settings and still nothing. Something I just noticed is that all internet kind of cuts out at random times... and then I won't be able to get internet running on either wireless or ethernet for a random amount of time... Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
