Ethernet port lock up

I have a content engine with Version: ce507-4.0.3. The content engine works fine except that after a period of time about a day the port on the switch (a catalyst 3550) shows as down/down. The port on the switch has no errors. If I removed the ethernet cable and plug it back in to the Content engine it comes back up again. Any ideas on the problem?
I replaced a new content engine and during boot up I get this error:
Dec 16 22:47:29 (none) Diamond: PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 2 of device 00:0d.0
Dec 16 22:47:29 (none) Diamond: PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 2 of device 00:0e.0

Dec 16 22:47:29 (none) Diamond: PCI: Allocation of memory region 00:0e.0/2 (-1609564160 bytes) failed
I then did a "show ecdn" and get this message eventhough I have done all that is required.
ECDN content engine is loading, state is no-network, Waiting for network configuration.
ECDN is waiting for network configuration
Please configure your network interface
and set primary interface
For more information, point your browser to CDM 157.128.4.6

could you clarify the problem
- what type of switch ? (is it a 3550 for both of you) ?
- what type of device attached to it on the faulty port ?
- what port speed ? duplex ? auto or static ?
- what software version on the Cat and the other equipment ?
- is the frequency always 1 day ?
Thanks,

Ethernet port on MacBook Pro only works under certain conditions

Since I've purchased my MacBook Pro over two years ago now with an initial installment of OSX 10.5.x, I've had a small annoyance if while the OS was up and running and my physical network interface was disconnected and reconnected, a connection could not be reestablished until I shutdown, restart or put my Mac to sleep and woke it back up with the cable connected to the ethernet port. It would randomly work as it should if I connected and disconnected it over and over again until the machine decided I've stimulated it enough to allow me to use it. But it's recently become a real annoyance for me since the tab on my longest ethernet cable broke and it no longer locks it in place and now the slightest budge displaces the cable and I have to put the laptop to sleep often to reestablish a connection.
I would opt to Wi-Fi, but my Mac (surprise, surprise) out of 4 other laptops is the only one whose signal is too weak to use where I use them most. I've reinstalled the OS once to no avail months ago and the problem persisted after downgrading to Slowleopard a day after it's release.
Anyone have any ideas what may be going on? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello DavidJoyce
Best thing to do is to buy a new Cat 6 Ethernet cable.

HT1515 wall ethernet port -cable- airport express 802.11n WAN port/airport express 802.11n LAN port -cable- non wireless PC. will this work?

i need to keep my PC connected (by cable) to the internet, can i connect my AirPort Express to the port in the wall and then connect my pc the the Airport Express. eg.
(wall port (-cable-) [WAN)(LAN] (-cable-) ethernet port on my pc). Bold is the airport express itself.
Trying to get my ipad mini connected.
Because this is a work ethernet connection, i dont want to go poking around too much.
Thank you.

in theory, yes, but you work network admin may have locked the network preventing this from working

Slow networking, programs wont open, broken ethernet port - so many probs!

WE've got some 3 year old power macs in the office - 2 x g5's and one g4. there are a number of problems:
1) the g4 ethernet port has broken - i've been quoted £500 to get it fixed (thoughi may find it cheaper elsewhere) - but basically i need a cheaper option. someone tripped over the wire and completely dislodged the bit where it plugs in. if anyone knows of an alternative that would be great. tried an ethernet/usb adaptor but there werent any drivers to make it work.
2) the second problem is the networking - one of the g5's connects to the internet fine but when i try to network to or from it with any computer inc my laptop it is so slow - what normally takes 20 seconds to transfer takes 3 hours with this one. i have no idea why it's suddenly started doing this - sometimes it just freezes and i have to restart all the computers.
3) photoshop wont open on one computer - it just says 'unexpectedly quit - do you want to send a bug report' - but it never even opens!
4) quark wont open on some user accounts - it says 'it wont open on a locked volume' - but i havent locked anything!

Belkin has stated they intend to release new drivers for the F5D5005 that will support 10.4x. However, as of the present they have not done so. Given that Belkin is taking longer then I would expect them to take, and that the card has been backordered for sometime, I would agree that one of the other compatible gigabit cards is a better choice at this time.
It's funny that you bring this up, as I was just researching a new gigabit card for one of our G4 Quicksilver servers after an old Asante card finally died after many years of abuse (It's been in about a dozen machines at one time or another).
I'm looking at the Netgear, or Hawking, both work natively under 10.4, though the Hawking has had reports of problems with iPv6, though I would think the problem would include the Netgear as they both use the same realtek chips. However as iPv6 is not an issue with our network, I can just disable iPv6 support on the server.

Mini 210 Ethernet Port Cover

I just received my Mini 210 yesterday, and have a problem.
The cover for the ethernet port is very loose. Basically, if you pick up the netbook, it falls out. I spent over an hour on the phone with tech support, who finally told me they could not help me. They gave me a ticket number and a number to call today (800-728-9665 - Starbucks, as it turns out).
It seems to me that I may just be missing a small part. Nothing seems broken. Have other Mini 210 owners noticed this issue?
EDIT:
I just found a part number:
589680-001: Rubber Kit (not illustrated, includes 4 rubber feet and RJ-45 cover)
There are no rubber parts in or around the port. Could this be the problem

You can only locate, lock or erase your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

Busted my ethernet port

My notebook fell on its side. No problems other than my Ethernet port, which I must use for best Skype connection, busted its black clip that holds the ethernet cord in place. I am using tape to hold the cord in place. I know I can get a USP to Ethernet adapter cord, but ideally I would like the Ethernet port to work again. There is a black plastic piece that split off from the PC, which is the piece that locks the Ethernet cord into place. Is there a special part number I can order to replace this plastic piece?

How do I add an airport extreme to a cable modem with only one ethernet port, while keeping that port connected to my Mac?

I have a mac pro connected by ethernet to a cable modem via ethernet. There is only one ethernet port on the modem.
I want to keep the Mac connected via ethernet for speed. Is there a way that I can add an airport extreme to this set up - for my ipad and roku, and for guests to use - or do I need to buy a router to put between the modem and the mac?
If I need a router, what kind?
Thanks.

The modem connects to the WAN "O" port on an AirPort Extreme router.
The Mac Pro connects to one of the three LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme router.
Or if you do not need the ability to connect a hard drive to the USB port on the router, you can save a bit by using an AirPort Express.
The modem connects to the WAN "O" port, the Mac Pro connects to the LAN <-> port
Either the AirPort Extreme router or AirPort Express router will allow up to 50 wireless device to connect.
There are many other wireless modems offered by other manufacturers as well.

I had a failure of a dsl modem which inturn destroyed my ethernet port of non isight imac G5. In attempt to solve the problem I did a clean install of leopard 10.5.4. I am unable to upate to 10.6,.7 or .8 without freezing system network preferences

Dsl modem failure caused malfunction of ethernet port. In attempt to solve problem I did a clean instillation of Leopard 10.5.4 and then update to 10.5.5 with access to internet through apple usb to ethernet adapter. If I attempt to update software to 10.5.6, .7 or .8 it freezes my network system preferences and computer will no longer shut down. The network connection assistant also no longer sees a connection to the internet throught the usb/ethernet adapter. I have checked they systerm Tech tool deluxe which shows no problems and also used hard drive utility on instillation disk which found no problems. Permissions were also checked as well and no problems noted. Any thoughts as I really like my imac G5.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Built-in ethernet port not working in unibody Mac Mini

Hi,
So ever since I acquired this new mac mini I haven't been able to get it to recognize any devices connected via ethernet. I obviously checked the cables and all is good there. I tried connecting it to another mac, and while the other machine was detecting a device (the mac mini) at the other end of the cable, the mac mini kept saying that the cable is unplugged or the device off.
After several days of having the issue I decided to remove the ethernet service from the network preference pane to set it up again but to my surprise, the built-in ethernet option was not available (I only got airport, firewire, bluetooth DUN, VPN, PPPoE and 6 to 4). At this point I tried removing the networkinterfaces.plist file form the system configuration folder in the system preferences folder to no avail. I then tried to zap the PRAM, NVRAM, reset the SMU, SMC and all that kind of things to get the port recognized by the system but no luck.
When I look at the system profile I get these weird results in Ethernet Cards:
pci14e4,4353:
Type: Other Network Controller
Bus: PCI
Vendor ID: 0x14e4
Device ID: 0x4353
Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x106b
Subsystem ID: 0x0093
Revision ID: 0x0001
Link Width: x1
BSD name: en0
Kext name: AppleAirPortBrcm43224.kext
Location: /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAirPortBrcm 43224.kext
Version: 425.16.2
Comparing it to other macs I have It should read "ethernet" rather than that strange pci name on top and the kext name shouldn't read airport but something like AppleIntel and in location it shouldn't direct to the IO80211Family.kext package but rather to the IONetworkingFamily.kext.
So I popped in the system install DVD and fired up System profiler and at that point I didn't even get an "ethernet cards" option in the left side pane. So this is leading me to believe that the hardware is not being recognized at all, so maybe it's damaged. I did replace the HDD with a bigger one and change the RAM modules to bigger ones but I don't think I could have damaged the hardware in these processes, also I don't see how this would affect the ethernet port as it's integrated to Motherboard and didn't messed with it at all (I was very careful, to say the least!).
The last thing to do is reinstalling the system but I don't think it'll help (after seeing that the ethernet port is not even being detected by the install OS) but I need to offload all the data from my internal disk and at the moment I don't have an spare drive to do it.
So, what's the recommendation? A field trip to an Apple Store? Closest one is like 3,000 km from where I am right now, so...
Well, thanks for any pointers, suggestions and help in general.

I do not have any answers for you. Yes it appears to be reading what should be an ethernet card as an AirPort card. Have you played around with trying to install another version of Mac OS X other than the version that shipped with the Mac mini? Apple has long told us that we should not install a version of Mac OS X that was older than the shipping version. With the Mid 2010 Mac mini, the Restore DVD has the only version of Snow Leopard that will work with this Mac mini's specific hardware. At least until Apple releases 10.6.5. If you have installed other versions of Mac OS X, then erasing the HDD and installing the OS from the Restore DVD(s) that shipped with the mini may get you back to the point you need to be.
Unfortunately I think that you voided your Apple Warranty when you installed the different HDD. That was always a question in the past when folks wanted to open the former version of Mac minis and upgrade the RAM. But with the 2009 models folks started reporting here in the Apple Discussions that Apple was informing them that they had voided their warranty by opening their Mac mini. This new model made the RAM user upgradable, but the User Manual specifically states on page 43, 54 and 61 that there are no user serviceable parts in the Mid 2010 Mac mini except the memory.

Mountain Lion Mac Mini Server Ethernet Port Not Working

I have a Mac Mini Server and once I upgraded to Mountain Lion Server the Ethernet port is unresponsive. It worked before upgrading. Is there something with Mountain Lion Server that is causing the Ethernet port not to work properly?

Can I activate the ethernet ports (routing) of Time Capsule "joining" an existing non-Apple wireless network ?

Hello,
I have a DSL modem that is also a WIFI router as my main WIFI network from room A. In room B, I have a TC wirelessly joining the existing WIFI network (not creating a new one). That works fine, I have one SSID, and I can wirelessly access the TC disks and backup my Mac on my TC.
Now, I would like to connect a wired device (with on WIFI) to the ethernet port of my TC. Unfortunately, the ethernet ports of the TC don't seem to be "activated" as they do not have internet on them.
More precisely, I'd like to connect a GE Cordless Skype Phone Model# 31591 (http://www.gephones.com/products/skype/dect-6-0-expandable-digital-cordless-phon e-with-skypetm.html) that connects to a router via Ethernet. I'm aware that I could simply connect it to the DLS router, but that's not what I want... Is there any way to activate the ethernet ports of the TC while in "join" mode ? Or do I really have to buy a Airport Express to create my main network and then extend it ?!?

Thanks, the reason why I asked again, is because you told me to start another thread with the specifics of the device I want to connect, so I did
Not a big deal, and it is easy to become confused.....but to be clear about this
Your question.....
is there a way I can connect my Bluray player to the TC ?
My Answer.....
Please start a new post for that. Tell us the make and model number of the player and whether you plan to connect using wireless or Ethernet.
so I tried to creat the main WIFI network with a first-generation Airport Express M9470LL/A (802.11b/g, no "draft N" or "n" support) and the TC wouldn't extend it either, is it too old/not supported
Unfortunately, the "extend" setup will only work with "n" devices. The older Express does not have a setting to "Allow this network to be extended", so the Time Capsule cannot pick up the signal.
I'm not sure what else to suggest other than what I already have. I'm assuming that you do not want to buy another new Airport Express.

How can I configure one of the gateway NI9792 Ethernet port to communicate with a cRIO PAC ?

Hi NI Engineers,
I intend to use my gateway NI9792 the following way:
1. One Ethernet port for network connection. That's how I'll develop it, download software and monitor my application through my PC at my desk.
2. Can the other port be used to communicate with a cRIO device? If so, how can I do it?
It seems to be a stupid question, but I truly could not work this out!
Thanks in advance,
Luiz

Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access? Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

Thanks for the help. Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible. Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it?
I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located. Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet. Thanks for the help.

If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

Airport Extreme - creating a wired local network from a cellular hotspot without ethernet ports?

Forgive the book I've written below, please. I generally think too much info is better than not enough... I'm looking for assistance and/or suggestions since I have been unable to locate solutions on my own so far. Searching this forum has found a great number of "sort-of" related things, but all of them so far appear to involve apple-only hardware or upstream network devices which have ethernet ports. Nothing that seems to match my situation enough to extrapolate out. Maybe I'm just using the wrong keywords. Anyway....
I've recently moved to a particularly rural area with no wired internet access to speak of (well, I suppose there is dial-up, but... yeah). I've tried several different wireless varieties including satellite, the AT&T Elevate 4G hotspot and a service that used an EVDO-cellular solution(a sprint-based reseller). The former had serious latency issues which I had predicted and so was right-out. The last had signal coverage problems which their maps did not accurately reveal. Their potential mitigation was to have me invest even more money into a super-mega antenna to be roof-mounted. And even that was an uncertain fix. The AT&T solution with the 4G hotspot has been AMAZING so far and I love it. Coverage is great, latency and bandwidth fantastic.
I love it but for one exception, that is. Connectivity options.
There is a particularly limited number of WiFi connections available and only a USB network adapter for a single computer. None of my wired-only network devices can connect directly and I have significantly more WiFi connected devices in general use than the device supports.
I have an Airport Extreme that I was using as my primary connection point through a FiOS router at my previous home(and both the satellite and EVDO modems at the new place). Never had any problems with it when feeding its WAN port with one of the various routers' LAN ports. However, as has been evident by reading all sorts of posts here and elsewhere, having it connect via WiFi to the Elevate means that the ethernet ports are disabled. Not terribly useful.
The Elevate has no ethernet ports. Only WiFi and USB network connectivity.
The Elevate does not appear to have settings available to create a WDS network-- so it cannot be "Extended" via those methods, either, as far as I am able to tell.
So these are some thoughts I've had. Before I invest the time and money into them(both of which are in extremely short supply lately), I'd like to know if anyone else has already solved the issue or can tell me definitively whether these ideas, or some I haven't thought of, will or won't work. Any helpful feedback or thoughts would be sincerely appreciated.
Options I've considered, but are uncertain:
-A Wifi/Ethernet or even ethernet-only router which has a USB WAN uplink(I've had a few bites on searching, but nobody seems 100% clear on the capability for the models I've located). I could plug the Elevate into that USB port and then from there I'm golden. If this is the best option, then can someone recommend a brand/model that they know will work in this way?
-WiFi Access Point (Airport Express, maybe?) that will connect to the elevate via WiFi, and then use its single Ethernet port to serve as the APExtreme's WAN uplink. (I don't know if this will work at all, actually...)
-Connect to the computer via USB, run some kind of network bridging software (which I don't know what the heck that would be) to bridge between the USB Network and the Ethernet port, then run a hard wire from there to the APExtreme's standard ethernet WAN uplink. This is going to be a "last resort" option since it involves software I'm unfamiliar with, even unsure of availability for Mac, and requires the computer to be running and configured properly at all times. Given the way my kids abuse a computer, I can't be certain of anything involving this option.
-Some secret method of turning on WDS capabilities in the Elevate which would then allow my existing base station to become a second node in the chain. I really wish someone could tell me this is possible if only I'd push the right buttons. I see this is as the absolute best option, if it can be done. Cheapest, anyway.
Current set-up:
AT&T Elevate 4G hotspot
WiFi connected devices(rotating since Wifi connection count is limited): Mac PC, 2 iPads, 3 iPhones, Apple TV, a Nokia mini-tablet, a Kindle fire, Wii, XBox 360, an old dell laptop issued by my office.
Apple Aiport Extreme base station
Wired connections: blueray player, television, satellite TV pay-per-view uplinky device thing.
Please, tell me your thoughts?

Had the same issue here. Here is the best solution I have found so far:
Hotspot + Pepwave Max On-The-Go (w/ Load Balancing) + Airport Extreme
I have a VZW MiFi, but I believe this set-up will work with other hotspot devices. I actually have 2 MiFi Hotspots with a monthly allowance of 20G each. They are plugged directly into the Pepwave router (aka, tethered). (Note: you have to have the right cable to do this. The one that came with my Hotspot was only for charging.) If, for some reason, you cannot tether with your Hotspot device, you want a router that offers WiFi as WAN. The Pepwave will do this. The Pepwave is connected to my Airport Extreme via ethernet cable. I have the WiFi on the MiFis and the Pepwave turned off. So the only visible network is my Airport Extreme. The Pepwave is essentially just functioning as a modem.
I used to have a Cradlepoint, but I did not find it very user friendly--too complex for home use. The Pepwave Max OTG is awesome. I got the one with Load Balancing so it allows you to connect up to 4 cellular devices. If you only need the one Hotspot, you can just get the cheaper Pepwave Max OTG. The Pepwave allows me to run off one of the MiFis until I hit my 20G/month allowance, then it automatically switches to the other one. That way I never max-out on my monthly data allowance. Additionally, it gives you a real-time, hourly, daily and monthly running tally on data usage.
The guys at the 3Gstore are excellent and can help you figure out the best solution for your situation.
