Built in ethernet not working on some networks

Ok i have read everything there is to read, that i can find, i have asked a mac specialist, and after all of this i am still baffled. I have been connecting to the internet from the vary first day that i received my mbp, via wireless and ethernet. There have been no problems until i go to work and try to connect through the built in ethernet.
I have received three different status messages when i try and play with the settings, one says
The cable for built in ethernet is connected, but your computer does not have an ip address and cannot connect to the internet.
Built in Ethernet is currently active. built in ethernet has a self assigned ip address and may not be able to connect to the internet
built-in ethernet is currently active and has the ip address
well with all of these messages my internet doesnt work.
I then go home plug in my cable there and it works fine.
Why cant life be easy...please help i am at my wits end

I have this same problem (and error messages) using the wired ethernet at work with my MBP. I turn off to travel to work, connect sucessfully to ethernet but when the MBP sleeps I loose the IP address. I have to go into Network preferences and switch from "automatic" to another location and then back to "automatic" to get the network IP address to re-populate. This did not occur when I first got the MBP, but started a few weeks later. I used powerbook G4 on this network with no issues for over a year. Never have an issue using wireless. I think I have used wired connection in a hotel without issues. Could it be something related to this network?

  • Some attachment buttons not working from external networks

    Hi guys,
    We have an eSourcing system that we access internally from server.internal.com . We also make this eSourcing system available to external vendors through www.external.com .
    The external access is done using a Citrix AGEE system (reverse proxy, etc.). As part of this, the AGEE has the ability to change the hostname in the URL so the real server is hidden from external vendors. For example, when eSourcing generates a webpage, the AGEE searches through and replaces all http://server.internal.com references to http://www.external.com , and vice-versa for incoming calls.
    This works for about 95% of the content, but there are a fer places where the links are not re-written correctly. One example is the File Attachment buttons when replying to a question. However, other file attachment buttons work correctly.
    1. Does anyone else have a similar situation, using a Citrix or other product for external vendors?
    2. Does anyone have a similar problem where certain links/buttons are not working from external networks?
    3. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?
    4. Are there any settings that are specific to external access that may need to be set?
    Thanks guys for any help/insight.
    Michael.

    SAP has re-written some of their code to help rectify the problem. We have also been working with Citrix to provide additional fixes. If anyone else has these problems, apply the latest patch of eSourcing and contact Citrix support to get the AGEE changes needed to make it work.

  • Thunderbolt ethernet not working when computer wake up from sleep.

    thunderbolt ethernet not working when computer wake up from sleep.
    it will not happen in Mountain loin.

    I had this problem on SL and on Lion as well, and it occures for WiFi and Ethernet connections.
    In fact the internet connection was not broken as I could ping the destination usin the IP (not DNS name).
    In this case the problem was related to mDNSResponder task which handles all dns queries.
    It was the most frequent problem in my day to day work with SL and now Lion. It was never fixed by any patch from Apple. I tried almost all voodoo including fresh install, all possible config changes - no solution.
    The only version with no problems related to network was 10.5.8. All the other versions had issues of different kind (WiFi instability (lost signal), DNS problems (for wireless and wired connection) sometimes associated with machine sleep and wake up and sometimes with no reason.
    QUESTION: Is your problem independent of the access point / router you connect to.
    I must say networking was (and still is) the weakest part, besides the other OS X weaknesses I experienced during 4 years of OS X usage.
    No problems in the same network with Linux or Windows beeing ran natively on my iMac So hardware is OK.
    Software is of poor quality. Not much more to say in this matter.
    I found a very interesting article dated 1996 about programming which I think is still valid.
    Link to the article: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/06/writestuff.html
    Below the fragment (with some connection to Apple)
    Software is everything. It also s***s.
    "It's like pre-Sumerian civilization," says Brad Cox, who wrote the software for Steve Jobs NeXT computer and is a professor at George Mason University. "The way we build software is in the hunter-gatherer stage."

    Thanks for your reply. basically this error occurs with in same location as well as branch location. i have check event log in AD but not got any specific error. AD health status is ok. AD to AD synchronization also working well. All the client machine running
    on windows 7 64 bit and few of them are windows 8. 
    Please suggest. if you need any event log for analysis i can send you.
    Thanks
    I recommend you examine the event logs upon an affected client machine. Specifically, look for the surrounding events on that machine (both System, and Application logs), for the hours previous and the hour after.
    The time period may vary according to your environment (e.g. what is expected/normal for your environment, your configured GP refresh cycle-time).
    e.g., are there network drops, or power drops, or system crashes, restarts at the similar time.
    if it's a laptop, is it wireless? Was there a transition from wireless to wired operation?
    Is there VPN in use?
    If you are able to compare with another machine (I would encourage that), to understand what "normal" looks like in the logs, so that you have some kind of baseline data for comparison.
    Other checks, maybe confirm that the machines are updating as required (have the relevant WindowsUpdates etc), and consider if some security/protection/firewall software might be interfering with normal Windows operations.
    Also the potential for malware or virus, which can disturb many basic services (ensure a scan is performed and returns clean).
    If you have the opportunity for an affected user to contact you urgently when the symptom occurs, check that the gpt.ini file is accessible from their PC.
    e.g.: \\example.net\sysvol\example.net\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB
    984F9}\gpt.ini
    This file is hosted within the replicated SYSVOL share on your DC's, so check that it is accessible.
    You might also validate the particular GPO this refers to, and check each of your DC's holds the correct copy of the files for that GPO GUID.
    If you open that GPO, and perform a minor change to it (e.g. add a comment), then click Apply, OK, this should cause the GPO contents to replicate an updated version (be cautious, depending upon the nature of that GPO !!!)

  • HT4623 my voice call services is not working with cellular network...only works fine with wifi..please help?

    my voice call services is not working with cellular network...only works fine with wifi..please help?

    Since you have already done some sort of reset on your Airport Express, you might as well make sure it was a "hard reset" - follow the instructions for a hard reset found at:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
    Since your Mac is running Leopard, you need to configure the Airport Express using the Airport Utility found in the Applictions->Utilities folder. You cannot install the old software that was supplied on the CD you got with the Airport Express.
    In future - if you do something bad with network settings on your Mac, do NOT try to fix it with the Airport Utility. The Airport Utility is only used to configure the Airport Express - and since the problem you have created is on the Mac and not the Airport Express, there is no need to be using the Airport Utility and especially there is no need to be resetting the Airport Express.

  • New Problem, Old Issue. Ethernet not Working

    You may recall this thread: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/FIOS-Ethernet-not-working-Wireless-works-fine/td-p/203838
    If you do, well, I have the same issue once more. It's driving me a bit nuts, to be perfectly honest.
    About 10 days ago I finally had a stable ethernet connection on my Desktop machine to the internet. 8 days ago I marked the other thread as solved as it was still working and thought that my problems had been solved. Unfortunately, here I am 10 days later and suddenly, without warning, the ethernet connection on my Desktop loses internet connectivity.
    I tried turning the router off and then turning it back on, but none of that worked.
    Right now it switches between two different states without little indication as to why it switches between them except that it tends to only do it as a I unplug the cable and then plug it back in. The two states are simply connecting to an "Unidentified Network" which is much the same as the problem I had before, and connecting to an "Unidentified Network" with "Internet Access", except, none of the applications that use internet on the computer actually have Internet access even in this state. The Unidentified Network is the key to knowing I still don't truly have internet access.
    Windows Firewall is off. It's actually been off for awhile now because I forgot to turn it back on after I initially shut it off trying to get it to connect before. Windows 7 (64-bit) is up-to-date, so that's not the issue either. But something is at issue here and I'm not sure what it is. Since the Wireless works, and the Desktop downstairs works on the ethernet, I can only assume it's something with this Desktop. But I'm not sure what it is or why it's doing this.
    Any help with isolating the problem so I can actually fix it and not wait almost two weeks for it to magically work again would be immensely appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello there Viafax and Spacedebris!
    Apologies for not responding sooner. I decided to take a look at a Windows 7 support forum to see if the issue was something specific to that. After explaining in detail, I got this post and I followed the steps. I posted the information I got and then tried the duplex thing.
    The default setting it seems is "Auto Negotiation" which obviously wasnt working.
    I tried 100 Mbps Half Duplex and suddenly I had a connection. I can connect to the internet on my Desktop! So I tried 100 Mbps Full Duplex and.... no connection.
    So, right now it's set to Half Duplex. But I don't even understand why it would need to be Half instead of Full, or the benefits or disadvantages to either. Right now it's working, but I wish I understood more.
    The 192.168.1.25 may have been a typo, since I set the device to run off a static IP of 192.168.1.125, to my knowledge no device on the network has 192.168.1.25
    But other than that brief typo, I do believe the rest of the information is as accurate as I could make it. I typed it as I looked for it, so even if it seems odd, that's what it was.

    Hi

    Most everything is ok BUT outlook autodiscover is not working for some exchange 2010 users now that 2013 is in the front!!!.  We end up creating the profiles manually.  It has affected some but not all the users.

    Would you please help?
    Thank you

    Hi 
    If it is affecting only few handful of users i could suspect a mailbox corruption and would recommend to move mailbox and see the results.
    Also you can try below
    You need to set the values MaxFieldLength, MaxRequestBytes & MaxTokenSize to below on Exchange 2010 CAS servers as well as Exchange 2013 CAS servers
    Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
    Name: MaxFieldLength
    Type: DWORD
    Value: 65534
    Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
    Name: MaxRequestBytes
    Type: DWORD
    Value: 16777216
    Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters
    Name: MaxTokenSize
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Value: 48000 
    Just reboot the servers once its done and you will be good to go.

  • MAM application is not working for some users

    Hi All,
    Tha MAM application is not working for some users.Different users have different workcenters other than that I dont see any other change. When I run MAM30_090_GETLIST in the backend I can see the no of customized users.But I cant see same no of users in the MEREP_207 table for the Syncbo MAM30_090 and strcture id TOP in the middleware. There is a data when I checked under worklist monitor for that user. But neither the MAM application nor MAM data is downloading to that device.
    If I use different user on the same device I can see the MAM application and MAM data.
    What could be the wrong in this case. Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Mobile Client:MI 70 SP 15 Patch 0 Build 200802280918
    Middleware:SAP NetWeaver 2004s with Patch leve 15
    Backend:SAP ECC 6.0
    Application:MAM 3.0
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ameer.

    Hi,
    from your description the source of your issue is quite obvious: some of the MAM users configured in spro are not configured properly.
    For T01 SyncBos the number of TOP records in merep_207 MUST be the same as number of headers returned by an appropriate getList FM in the backend.
    You need to solve this before you can go any further.
    Reason why a record is not recorded in MEREP_207 - getdetail failed for whatever reason. So execute MAM30_ML_getdetail for each of the users that is not replicated in the middleware and check if there are errors in RETURN table. If there is no error - one of the common reason for replication fail is when there are records in item tables that have duplicate primary keys.
    Regards,
    Larissa Limarova

  • HT1414 I have intelos and my Iphone does not work in some areas or in my house. I have had Apple replace it 2 times with the same problem. My android worked fine in all places....what's wrong with this? It's killing my business!! Any ideas to fix it??

    Please help me understand why my I phone 4s is not working in some places and my HOME!! I have been to Apple 3 times and Intelos 5 times and no one knows whats wrong and they are telling me that no one else is having this problem. It's hurting my business because I can't get calls at home. I paid a lot of money for this and may have to pay to get out of it.  I thought Apple was a good company but am changing my mind quick.

    OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
    Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences  - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

  • Ethernet not working on brand new portable

    Ethernet not working. This is a new portable.
    Troubleshooting message: The realtek PCIe GBE family controller adapter is experiencing driver or hardware related problems.
    Reinstalled the driver multiple times .
    Reinstalled the portable to factory default.
    Only one ethernet controller driver available for this portable on the HP site so i used that one.

    Hi:
    The only suggestion I can offer would be to try the driver directly from Realtek.   Fourth file on the list.

    If that fails to do the job, I recommend you either return the PC if you can, or contact HP technical support and submit a support case under the warranty.
