[QUOTE="pizza_789, post: 712907, member: 65038"] I am helping a friend to setup a network which consists of Win XP machines and an iMac OS 10.4 (?). We are using a Speedstream DSL/Router and Airport. The Airport is being used as a switch at the moment. The Win XP systems work fine across a wired network. The iMac works for a while across a wireless connection. The Airport drops for some reason?? Not sure why. I try connecting the wired network to the iMac and I get message "no cable connected". This is a hard wired connection and my Win XP laptop works fine using the same physcial connection. When I check the Network settings on iMac I see that native Ethernet has an IP address of 144.xxx.xxx.xxx and it should be 10.0.1.x. I have reset the DHCP and no change. It is as if the network adapter in the iMac is not functioning?? In the Win world there is a command to reset IP - netsh interface reset ip. Is there something in the Mac world that will drive a reset to the IP interface? I've tried powering the system up and down no change. I seem to remember that somewhere there is a parameter to set in a file - outside of the system preference windows? There is no problem with the wired connection itself. I suppose the net adapter within the iMac could be defective? Other suggestions? Thanks [/QUOTE]
