[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1878924, member: 307555"] If after checking/replacing the ethernet cable you still have issues, something else you can try is creating a new ethernet network connection. Here is how you do that: 1. Go to System Preferences -> Network -> Make sure your current Ethernet connection on the left is selected. At the top there is a box labeled Locations: Automatic - click on Automatic and select Edit Location. 2. In the box that open look at the lower left corner for the " + " box and click on it. You are going to create a new location. 3. Give your new location a name - something like Home or what ever you want to call it. Make sure your new location is selected and click done. 4. When the box closes and you are back in the Network box click apply. [B]* It will indicated the ethernet connection is disconnected at first and this is normal as it rebuilds the network connection. [/B](And here I am assuming you have Configure IPv4 set to Using DHCP.)
