IBook G3 Ethernet won't connect...

I'm staying at a hotel in Chenai, India and my Ethernet won't connect. All advice is to contact my ISP, but I can't remember my ISP. Do I simply have to type in a new IP address? If so, where do Ifind it? I need an Ethernet connection! SOS!

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
You need to talk to the hotel and ask for their ISP address.
You are trying to connect via their internet service, so you need their information.

My Ethernet won't connect online anymore

Just a little while this was working. I am using a school network so I have no control over the router, it's public.
I had to change my MAC address in order to connect and for a couple of months it's been working, even today. I don't know what changed in the settings, though.
Now it won't connect via ethernet and states "Self-assigned IP". When I change the MAC address I do it through Terminal, it has never messed with the Ethernet IP settings, even today. But when I changed the MAC address again the Ethernet changed to "Self-assigned IP" instead of "Connected".
So how can I stop my Ethernet settings from changing by themselves?
Like I said, I always used to change the MAC address and it NEVER interfered with the IP address until now, so how can I fix that?

I'm changing it because I can't connect to the internet through the original mac address.
I'm changing it through terminal using a sudo code which makes the change temporary. It goes back to normal once it's rebooted.
What I'm telling you and what emphasized is that it's been working. I admit I didn't monitor the Ethernet setting before when it was working so I can't tell you what state it was at "Connected" or "Self-assigned IP". So I thought that changing the mac address wouldn't interfere with it. So now when I change the address it won't connect, unlike just an hour ago when it connected fine. So now it won't connect wither before or after I change my mac address.
You see when it is connected to the net, regardless of what the mac address is, it should open up to the school's registration page. That's why a mac address change shouldn't prevent me from seeing that page but now it is.

Backup - time capsule - ethernet - won't connect

I left my time capsule unconnected for a period of time, over a week anyway. I commenced a backup - unsurprisingly, using wireless it was taking a very long time.
I wanted to speed it up. I connected ethernet cable to ethernet ports in Macbook and Time Capsule. However, it won't connect. It says 'back up disk not available'.
I have looked around discussion topics and can't see a solution.
Anyone experience something similar or able to advise? Many thanks

I managed to work it out. You have to disable the wireless operation of the Time Capsule before you can get an ethernet connection to work. Wrongly assumed they might just operate as alternatives.
SO all sorted now ...

Ethernet Won't Connect after 10.5.6 Upgrade

After doing the upgrade to 10.5.6 on my MacBook Pro, the ethernet port no longer seems to work. The Network preferences panel claims that the cable for Ethernet is not plugged in when it certainly is and works just fine with other computers (Mac and PC). I know Airport works since that's how I'm connecting to write this.
Anyone else seen this problem? Anyone have a solution?

Have you tried rebooting your router?
There are two major parts to connecting to the Internet using Wi-Fi and DHCP:
1) Associating with the network
This is where you connect to your local network, typically by selecting your router's SSID and entering its password. This is the Wi-Fi equivalent of connecting your machine to a router using an Ethernet cable.
2) Obtaining an IP address (and other network parameters) via DHCP
This is where your machine asks your local DHCP server for an IP address and if one is available, your DHCP server should provide it (and other network parameters, such as the local netmask, the gateway address for your network, the addresses of your network's DNS servers, etc.)
When this step fails, computers fall back to what is called a self-assigned IP address. This address, 169.x.x.x, is an IP address systems use when an attempt to obtain an IP address via DHCP fails.
This is done so that two machines connected to each other without a DHCP server in place will still be able to communicate in an ad-hoc fashion, but they will not be able to connect to other networks (such as the Internet.)
The question of why DHCP fails is a rather complex one with a variety of possible causes - router issues, DHCP server issues, and so forth. For example, some cable modems are configured to only issue a single IP address - any device other than the first to ask will not be able to obtain one. Still more common is they can only assign a limited number of addresses - say five - a number quite easy to reach if say you have a DVR, a couple iPhones, a computer and a Wii or XBox in the house.
So the first things to do to try and resolve the issue are the easy ones, and rebooting your router is tops on that list.

Bootcamp Ethernet Won't Connect

Hi when I boot in windows I can't get the ethernet internet to work. I can connect with wi-fi, but the ethernet connection wont work. Can someone please help me out? Thanks in advance.

review your setup to make sure you don't have 2 routers doing NAT
also make sure the ethernet driver is installed under device manager
if you only have one router in your setup, try the following
go to control panel
administrative tools
services
stop the network connections service
go to control panel
network connections
right click the LAN interface and disable it
start the network connections service
re-enable the LAN interface
if this fixes it, let me know and I can provide the text for a batch file to do this automatically at logon.

Hello Rattisate,
Sorry to hear you are not able to connect to Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro. I would be concerned about this too. You can find information on how to troubleshoot this in the following article:

Follow the steps in the section labeled, "Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet."
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

My wife's titanium powerbook g4 won't connect via ethernet

My wife's g4 titanium powerbook (running 10.5.4) won't connect to the internet in my work apartment via the ethernet cable (only choice). The ip address keeps coming up 169.254.240.149 That usually means that the ethernet card is bad. maybe the driver is just bad. does anyone know how to reinstall the driver for this computer?

My A'Extreme sometimes won't connect to my MacBook Pro even if I have a green light on the device . I can unplug the ethernet cable and reconnect and it will work fine. all diagnostics say there is nothing wrong. Any ideas ?

This is more about your modem then anything. Sometimes you'll need to unplug and plug back in your modem. Consider it a glitch from the ISP or just the modem in general.
when I need to turn something off then on I try the modem first. This when I'm not doing any ware and tare to the device.

IBook G4 airport card sees networks, won't connect?

This iBook was connected before, I just restored it, updated all I could (wired) but now won't connect to my wireless network. I have a good signal with other computers and iPhones.

I also have a similar problem. My AirPort Extreme card sees the network, and even connects to it. But every 10 minutes or so, it will seem like it's not connected. At those times, I can't load pages or use internet for anything on my computer, but other devices can.
The only way for me to make it work again is by deactivating AirPort, and then activating it again. Then it will work for a short period of time, and I'll have to repeat the process again. Any idea on why it does this? The card is well connected and all, and it only started doing this a day or two ago, it was fine before that.
I'm running an iBook G4 with OS X 10.3.9.

USB won't connect to my iBook

I recently purchased an iPod Shuffle (2nd gen) and it won't connect to my first usb outlet of my iBook. If this helps, the iBook is a G3, late 2004 model. If I physically hold the cable in, then it pops up on iTunes, but the moment I release, it ejects it. However, it fits fine in the second outlet. Does anyone know what that's about?

Huh, well, that's too bad if that is the case. The thing is, when I first plugged it into the first outlet, it fit fine. It was just overnight that it stopped working. I'll get it looked at to see if it's plugged or something. It can't possibly be the cord itself, seeing as I just purchased it on the 27th.

My iBook i just bought from USA won't connect to my wireless

My iBook i just bought from USA won't connect to my wireless that my iMac works on. Please help I'm seriously clueless and its driving me crazy!
I just says error when i type in the key and invalid password when I type in it in network assistant! ):): It comes up as WAP being the only option when I click the network name. but i don't actually know what WAP means....

Go to Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > System Profiler to tell the MHz rating, how much RAM is installed, and what type of optical drive it has.
To run Repair Permissions, go to Utilities again, and click on Disk Utility. Choose the named hard drive ("Macintosh Hard Drive" unless it's been renamed), and click on "Repair Permissions."
What encryption are you running on your network? Do you have a router? If so, it needs to be set to a mode that will work with the 802.11b standard, since that is what the iBook's original AirPort Card uses.

Powerbook won't connect to the internet via Ethernet?

Hi
Just recently, my 1.5 GHz powerbook won't connect to the internet with an ethernet cable. It connects fine at home when it's connecting through the airport, but then I try to use it with the ethernet cable it tells me that "Ehternet may not be able to connect because it has a self assigned IP address" But I didn't assign it an address, OS X configured it. Thanks in advance for any help.

And your settings in:
System Preferences/Network/Show: built-in Ethernet/
(Tab): TCP/IP; configure IPv4 is set to "DHCP"?

I installed iOs7 on iPad 2 and now when i'm in iBooks and tap "store" i get a blank screen. Same thing in itunes, itunes u, app store, and a few other apps won't connect. Safari seems to be working fine.

I had this same problem. Tried everything the internet said including a full restore. Which was terrible. Nothing worked until.....go to general...reset....reset all settings.
You had to go back in and reset anything you customized afterwards, however it does not allow the store to load. Thanks!

IMac sees the ethernet but won't connect to the internet

we had a power outage that crashed the imac. now it won't connect to the internet. the imac can see the ethernet connection. we have several other apple and dell devices that all see the internet so it's not cabling or hardware. it's a cable modem connection that uses automatic DHCP configuration. I've created a new Location setting with no change. I'm assuming that there is a corrupted file since all the other systems connect fine. any idea which one it may be or what else I should be looking for?

Shot in the dark, but did you try an SMC reset?
SMC Reset
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer’s power cord and disconnect peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
