Can't connect using ethernet but can connect using Airport

The problem I am currently facing is when I try to plug an ethernet cable into my MacBook Pro I can't get on the internet. At home I use an AEBS and connect fien, but when I go over to a friends house and they don't have wireless I try to hook up using the ethernet cable directly from the modem to connect and I can't.
I open System Pref and it says on the left side under ethernet "Self Assigned IP" On the right hand side it says ethernet is connected and underneath that it says, "ethernet has self assigned IP address and may not be able to connect."
I though this was a problem at his house and when I went home I tried it and I get the same thing. I used to have a Powerbook using Tiger and it did the same thing. Once I turn my Aiprort back on and plug the ethernet cable back into my AEBS I get on line.
Am I doing something wrong? I figured if I just plug in an ethernet cable it should detect it and work.
Thanks

I am not sure if this is your problem, but I believe a lot of cable modems need to be power cycled if you switch the device that is connected to them. They only recognize the MAC address of the first device that connects to them after they have been power cycled.
Although this was a couple of years ago, I was trying to investigate something (I can't remember what now) and I unplugged my router from my cable modem and plugged one of my computers directly to it. I found I couldn't do anything on the Internet. Later, when I was looking at the Comcast forums, I found the information about needing to power cycle the modem to get it to accept the "new" device.

I have two airport extremes, one acting as amodem and the other operating in bridge mode. The extremes are connected using ethernet, but remain connected even when I disconnect the Cat5a cable. How do I know if they are operating wired or wirelessly

I have two airport extremes, one acting as a modem and the other operating in bridge mode. The extremes are connected using ethernet, but remain connected even when I disconnect the Cat5a cable (I did this to check that the 100 feet of Cat 5a cable connecting them was working). How do I find out if they are operating wired or wirelessly? I want to know as I assume I will get much better speeds if they are wired.

Hi Bob, many thanks for the prompt response. I think I did what you suggested, but you're the expert so I have sent over a few screenshots. The extreme in question is High Birches Home Office (the rest of the network has been in place and working well for some time). My new home office is going to be in the garden, circa 100 feet from the main house. I have installed armoured Cat5e cable down to the shed that is going to be adjacent to the home office once built and situated the High Birches Home Office Airport Extreme there temporarily. Everything works well, so I was surprised when I unplugged the ethernet, that it still worked. I also tested the ethernet cable by switching off my laptop's wifi and unplugging the cable from the airport extreme and directly into the laptop and that worked ok.
If the screenshots below (I did every Airport utility tab for the High Birches Home Office) don't tell you anything more, then the set-by-step instructions would greatly appreciated so I can ensure I completed the steps correctly.
Many
Thanks, Greg.

Connected with ethernet but can't surf

I have an 2010 2.8 GHz Intel core i7 iMac 27" OS 10.7.5 connected to AT&T Uverse broadband. Connection to the internet was fine until doing a Software security update today. After it rebooted I could not get on the internet even though it shows in the Network preferences that it's Connected to ethernet and has the IP address 192.168.1.66. I have tried 3 different up to date browsers and I use Apple Mail, but it will not get email. I try doing a software update and it can't "because of a network problem". I try Network Diagnostics and it says "Your Internet connection appears to be working correctly."
I can connect via wireless with the same connection on my MacBook Pro and iPad, but not with my iMac.
I have tried switching modem ports and ethernet cables. I was also able to connect vie ethernet on my MacBook Pro with no problem.
What could it be???
Bad Ethernet port??
Can I trash the browser prefs maybe?
Any settings in the modem? DNS or other settings?
Please help!

Mac Pro Can't See MS-DOS Fat32 HD on PowerPC G4 Connected Via Ethernet, But Can See Its Mac HDs

I have a Mac Pro (aluminum Late 2010) running 10.9.5 connected to a PowerPC G4 running 10.4.11 via a ethernet cable running from the 2nd ethernet jack on the Mac Pro to the ethernet jack on the PowerPC G4.
I've connected to the PowerPC G4 via the Power Mac's network connection and I am able to see and interact with two of the G4's HDs, which have 10.4 and 10.5 installed. The G4 also has a third blank HD which is formatted in MS-DOS Fat32 format which I can see on the G4's desktop. I can't however, see the Fat32 drive on my Mac Pro's Network window, just the two Mac formatted drives.
Is there anyway to see the G4's Fat32 drive on the Mac Pro?

That did the trick! Thank You!
Under 10.4.11 System Preferences:
Check "Windows Sharing".
Choose account to share.
Enter your account password.
Refresh window on the Mac Pro and it shows up

As a Verizon FIOS client, can we just use Ethernet cable to connect to time capsule, or do we need their router to connect to the time capsule?

As a Verizon FIOS client, can we just use Ethernet cable to connect to time capsule or do we need the Verizon router to connect to time capsule?

The Time Capsule is indeed a wireless router with simultaneous dual band capability...and a hard drive for backup purposes. You can use that to your advantage if you configure the Time Capsule as I suggested in Bridge Mode.
The Time Capsule will provide a 802.11n 5 GHz band and a 802.11n/g/b compatible 2.4 GHz band to allow virtually any device to connect to the network.
I suppose that you could also use the "g" wireless network provided by the Verizon router as a "guest" network or something similar if you really do need another wireless network.
It might be possible to configure the Time Capsule as the main router on the network....that's a question for Verizon. But even if you might be able to do this, I'm sure it is not supported by Verizon, so you would be on your own in the event of any Internet connection difficulties on your service.
And, since the Time Capsule does not have a built in modem....you would still need to add a separate modem to the installation anyway.
That's why my suggestion is to use the Verizon device as the "modem" and let the Time Capsule provide the dual band wireless network and of course, handle the Time Machine backups.

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

Ipad is disabled connect to itunes but i connected it and there was a popup saying itunes cannot connect to ipad because it is locked with a passcode. You mus enter the passcode on the ipad before it can be used with itunes. but i couldnt enter my passwor

my ipad is disabled and it said ipad is disabled connect to itunes but i connected it and was restoreing it and then there was a popup and it said itunes cannot connect to ipad because it is locked with a passcode. and you must enter the passcode on the ipad before it can be used with itunes. But i couldnt even write the passcode on my ipad cause it was disabled. What should i do now????

Follow the instructions on this page to reset your iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

Can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and Airport express for printer

How / can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and use an airport express to set up wifi for printer and Apple TV?
Macbook Pro. OS X 10.9.4

I've never tried it, so I don't know what the results will be.
However, you can move Ethernet to the top of the Services list in Network System Prefs which will cause it to be the Internet source. There is a command in the gear menu to set the Service order. However, after thinking about it, if there isn't an internet connection via Wi-Fi, it might automatically drop down to the Ethernet connection.
Then, you can set up your Wi-Fi so that it doesn't connect to the Internet, as Linc stated. How to do that would be dependent on the Router.

If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it

I am connected to wifi, but can't open webpages or collect mail

I am connected to wifi, but can't open webpages or collect mail. I have tried to reconnect; to forget the network, all those things that should hepl. My phone and my computer recognize the network, the ipad doesn't. I mean I am connected and have a full scala of connection bows, but nothing happens.

You iPad recognizes the wifi signal, but is not connected.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Apple Tv (3rd generation) says it is connected (via ethernet), but none of the app, or channels, will work. They all say they are unvailable, try again later. The only thing that seems to work is iTunes. (I live in a dorm if that helps)

Its not properly connected to the network. Most school networks require login via webpage, which isn't possible as ATV has no browser. You will need to contact the IT dept or the network provider.

I'm having trouble making calls with my Iphone 4. When I try to, the person on the other side can't hear me, and all I can hear are noises. But when I use apps like Viber or Facetime, I can make calls just fine! What may be the problem?
