[QUOTE="drgrafix, post: 1626494, member: 38559"] OK... Trying to follow your lead. Went to system/preferences/ highlighted ethernet as my iMac is hard-wired. Clicked on Advanced/TCP/IP Its showing Configure IPv4 as "Using DHCP" and an IPv4 Address 10.0.1.X and same for the Router but the last digit is different. Configure IPv6 shows "Automatically" and There's a bunch of numbers, letters, colons next to the word Router. Under that, the window with the IPv6 Address shows two (2) huge number/letter/colon combos. The Router itself is a relatively new Apple Airport Extreme 802.11AC (the small tower). How do you "log into" the router? It seems overtime I walk away from the mac and it goes to sleep another computer instance of using the IP address appears. One other thing... I don't use this mac in wireless mode, so when I open up the preferences/network window, I see that wifi is on. We use iPads and occasionally a MBP via wifi in the house plus our iPhones. If I shut off wireless on this page, is that for a wifi connection for this machine or am I shutting down all wifi access in the house? Also in that Left-hand column I'm seeing two (2) instances of "USB...troller2 not configured" where the 2nd instance is "troller3" so what is that all about? They have a telephone handset next to them. I do have a 1TB USB HDD connected to the Airport, and another 2TB USB HDD connected to the iMac itself. The one connected to the Airport shows up in Finder correctly, but the 2TB connected to the iMac does not... but there is an icon for it on my desktop. Thanks for hanging in there with me.
