Imac DSL ethernet connection

What do I need to do to gain access to the internet again?
I had my iMac connected to the internet with an ethernet cable and SBC DSL. I loaned my computer to my sister and when it came back, I could not get the internet by plugging in my ethernet cable.
Any suggestions?
iMac G3 Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier

Any suggestions?
Do lend your mac to anyone again;-)
Seriously though your network settings must have changed.
Goto your systemprefernces-->network-->show built-in ethernet-->tcp/ip and set ipv6 to using DHCP. Press apply.
What IP address do you get?

G4 iMac w/ethernet connection to Linksys router - not happening.

Hi,
My main goal is to provide wireless service to a new Toshiba notebook. I haven't been able to do that completely.
I bought a Linksys WRT54G broadband router in order to connect to my Westell Wirespeed modem (Verizon dsl service) and subsequently connect (via ethernet cable because I don't have an airport card ) my G4 iMac to the router and transmit signal to the new notebook from the router. My iMac has always had connection when connected to the Westell modem but it now won't connect when wired to the Linksys router. Is it a compatibility issue between the iMac and the Linksys router? Or something else?
This is the way the Linksys instructions say to connect everything. I have tried many times to restart, power down, power up all the components.
Thank you.

Nevermind. When in doubt, call technical service...that's my new motto!

Imac looses Ethernet Connection

The Problem:
We have now 3 imacs with ML 10.7/8 who started to get Networkproblems since 2 weeks.
When you start the imac, you could work for 5-10 Minutes, and then you have no connection to the network.
No error Messages appear. You must reboot the Computer and then you could work for 5 Minutes.
The only thing i saw at the console is that the interface following messages:
kernel: en0: promiscous mode enable failed.
and then same message with promiscous mode enabled
These Macs worked since 1 Year ´without Problems.
We have same imacs with ML 7/8 on the same switch in the same vlan without any probs.
The Environment:
The macs are connected via Kat 5/6 cable to a switched Network with vlans.
What we tested:
We changed, the cable, the port, the switch, put the computers to another location.
We changed from DHCP to Static IP.
No Result!!
What we noticed:
if you start the imac in save mode, you could work, but this is no solution because paralles did not work.
Put the mac in another vlan it works. But in the origin vlan there are no errors or problems, other macs with the same configuration works without any probs.
Any Solution ?

First update OS X to 10.8.4, the restart the modem and router. If the router has een used for a few years then check to see if it has the most up-to-date firmware.

IMAC/VERIZON DSL wireless connection

Has anyone been able to connect "wireless" an IMAC-24 (intel) with Verizon's DSL?
Mac OS X (10.4.8) XP - 2000 - NT
Imac 24 - Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) XP - 2000 - NT

Thanks Donald, but I should had been more specific.
My equipment:
My Apple is an Imac-24 Intel Core 2 Duo with an Airport Extreme card w/ firmware version 4.80.76.1.
I network a Toshiba laptop w/MS XP using an Atheros AR5001+ wireless card, a couple of generic Intel PC w/MS XP using an Ethernet cable connections, A USB D-link print server using Ethernet cable.
My ISP is Verizon and the connection type is DSL.
Verizon provided me with a modem/router combo to use - a Westell VersaLink model 327W. This device is a specifically made for Verizon by Westell, thus Westell will not even talk to me.
The Problem:
I can not connect wireless my Imac to the network.
My Apple Airport is able to find the network and it makes it available for connection. When I try to connect I get the following message: "There was an error joining the AirPort network 'nameofmynetwork'." Can there be a more useless message?
Background:
All computers, ethernet and wireless, except for the Imac Wireless, connect and function properly. Thus, reasonably, I can eliminate a hardware problem with the possible exception of the Airport Card malfunctioning, but I doubt it since it seems to be recognizing my network. I don't have access to another AP (access Point) device to fully eliminate the AirPort Card from being the problem.
Not that it really matters, but an ethernet connect to my Apple works well.
The Westell only uses the Wire Equivalent Privacy (WEP) scheme. I understand the problem with this scheme in which, unfortunately, it wasn't very standarized and hashing of passwords could occur among devices from different vendors producing non-matching encryption. I have tried all kinds of combinations open, shared, 64, 128, hex, ascii, and I even reconfigured my network to be totally unsecure (Eliminated password, mac table, etc, etc.) but I still can not connect.
I have called Apple, Verizon, Westell and exhausted the capabilities of their "technical support" - that is, we went through their entire "Scripted" Q&A system without a solution, and I could never get them to scalate my problem to a real tech person. - They are all pointing the finger at each other, except for Westell who basically said: "NO MY PROBLEM! We build this device specifically for Verizon and we provide no support"
I went to the local store and spoke with the resident guru but, all he tried to impress on me was how complicated networking was. To that I left, I couldn't take it anymore, I am not looking for a network guru, just someone who knows what are the parameters I should use so that that the Apple's version of the Airport Extreme can communicate with Verizon-Westell VersaLink 327W or that maybe can confirm that this two things will never talk to each other.
To anyone reading the above, I apologize if sounded cranky.

How can I connect Apple TV to iMac with ethernet

AppleCare told me to plug the Apple TV into the iMac using ethernet to transfer the iTunes content faster with less glitches. But how do I see the Apple TV screen on my iMac to configure it??? When I connect Apple TV using ethernet, nothing appears on the iMac screen.

This only applies if you have a first generation Apple TV. Also I hope you have a router and are not connecting the ATV directly to the iMac.
Usually I sync my First Generation Apple TV wirelessly, but sometimes I'll have some huge media files I want to sync on it which can take a long time. In those cases all you do is connect your Apple TV via ethernet cable to the same router your iMac is connected to. Don't worry about it not being connected to a tv because all you are going to do is SYNC your Apple TV. If you do not see your Apple TV in iTunes, turn off the Apple TV, and quit iTunes. Then turn on the Apple TV first, wait a minute and then start iTunes. Once iTunes sees the Apple TV, manage your content, then sync it.
Once the Apple TV has completed its sync, quit iTunes. Unplug your Apple TV, and then put the device back by the TV you want to enjoy the content on.
I have done such a thing a few times and it works flawlessly.

HT2497 do I connect my airport express to my modem via the WAN port and then connect to my imac via ethernet cable?

Do I connect my airport express to my modem via the WAN port and then connect from airport express to my imac with ethernet cable? Is that how you "hard wire" the connection? Because when I do that, I still can't get online. Thanks.

What is the make & model of your modem?
You pretty much stated the correct wiring. There should be an Ethernet cable connected between the modem and the WAN (circle of dots) port on the AirPort Express base station.
Anytime you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of that hardware. Check out the following AirPort User Tip for details. Please post back your results.

Intel iMac won't talk to airport via airtunes when ethernet connection's on

i have noticed with my new intel iMac that I cannot surf the internet via Ethernet cable AND send music from iTunes via airTunes to my airport express right next to my stereo. in order to be able to connect to the external loudspeakers i have disactivate ethernet connection in the systems preferences.
on my old TiBook this works perfectly fine...!!
anyone have some help?

I would suggest you goto your network preferences and from the location drop down menu choose edit locations. Then click the + sign and add a new network location.
Then connect via ethernet and using dhcp do you get an IP address from the router?

Imac clock needs to be set and bluetooth doesn't remember ethernet connection

My Imac is less than 2 years old. Upon startup, I am getting the error message "You computer's clock is set to a date before Jan 1, 2008. This may cause some applications to behave erratically." It also doesn't remember which ethernet connection it had last in the bluetooth menu. I have to choose it everytime. What's wrong with my mac? Is it the battery? If so, why is this happening now when I've only owned the machine (purchased brand new) less than 2 years? Could it be something else?

I HAD this problem with my Power Mac G5. The "before date" was different and my date and time were correct in the menu bar! The message appeared on December 16, 2011 and on January 16, 2012. Then on January 21 I pressed the button to turn the g5 on. The light came on then went out. SILENCE. I tried again but NOTHING. I didn't do the SMU thing as I assumed it was the power supply which I had allready replaced once (in about 2007). I hope it wasn't just a battery, because I had the hard drive put in a cradle and am about to gut the G5 so I can use that beautiful case for something else! Did you ever figure it out?

Ethernet connection to iMac has failed

I have 4 year old iMac running Yosemite and connected via ethernet to a Verizon Fios router. All has functioned well until yesterday when the ethernet connection failed. I can still connect via wifi if I unplug the ethernet cable. With the cable plugged in I get a yellow indicator for both ethernet and wifi. Unplugging the cable lets the wifi signal to turn green and connect.
What is wrong with the ethernet connection and how do I test and fix it? I tried another cable which did not fix the problem.
Thanks, AHCMac

When the ethernet is plugged in does the connectivity light go on.. at least on the router.. Macs are not sophisticated enough to have connectivity light I guess.
Do you have anything else in the house connected by ethernet?
Or something you could test and prove the issue is Mac not router??
If the Mac is the issue.. go to the ethernet configuration .. give me a couple of screenshots.
Try setting the speed down.. by changing to manual configuration.. and set to 100mbit or even 10mbit..

IMac to iMac ethernet connection

I am trying to use migration assistant to transfer data from my old (2007) iMac to my new one. I have updated both to OSX 10.9.5 and followed the instructions for migration on each (from old to new). I have connected them with an ethernet cable but each searches for the other with no success. I tried giving each the same IP address but this did not work. What else do I need to do to link them both?

Yes, I realised that this was the case, but using auto assigned was where I started and each iMac was continually searching for the other. There had been an indication that the Ethernet connection was working as I got the message that both could not use the same IP address. My question is, what else do I need to do to get them to find each other?

I want to use the ethernet connection from my new iMac to my Time Capsule. It seems only the Wifi is seen by either device. Ive connected the Time Capsule to the iMac. How can I get the iMac to use the wired connection

I want to connect my iMac to my Time Capsule using Ethernet. I have them connected via an Ethernet cable, but only WiFi seems to be working. How can I specify the Ethernet connection instead of WiFi? Thanks
Welked

Go to preferences, network and see if ethernet is indicated. Be sure it shows a green dot. Also be sure it is at the top of the list (above WiFi). If not click on the the wheel at the bottom and set service order.

My westel modem (that I rent from my phone provider) quit working with the internet. My airport extreme seems to be working from the dsl (phone) connection through the westel, then through the ethernet cabled to the airport extreme. Do I need the modem?

My westel modem (that I rent from my phone provider) quit working with the internet. My airport extreme seems to be working from the dsl (phone) connection through the westel, then through the ethernet cabled to the airport extreme. Do I need the modem? Is the ethernet route less efficent that going throught the internet connection? If I don't need the westel modem; how do I make the dsl conection to the pone port in the wall? Thanks for help on this!

Ok, so are you saying that your Internet is or isn't working? Does it work if you plug your computer directly into your computer and bypass the router (make sure you power cycle the modem when you do this)? If it is working this way, then a new modem isn't going to solve a problem with your Internet not working. If it is going slow (try running a speedtest) then you need to call your phone company to have them take a look at why your Internet is slow. If it runs fine this way and then slows back down when you go back through your router there is something else going on. Try unplugging both the modem and the router, let the modem fully sign back in and connect to the Internet, after it gets signed in, plug your router in, and then after it boots up fully, try running the speedtest again...See if that helps any? Sometimes it's just an IP conflict that happens when the dynamic IP that is assigned by your Internet Service Provider changes and the change doesn't flow smoothly.

Beginner question: Can I create a hybrid home network between an ethernet-connected iMac and an airport connected Macbook Pro using a hybrid router?

I recently acquired an friend's used iMac, I don't know anything about networks and all I can find is how to create a Wi-Fi home network but nothing about hybrid Ethernet/Wi-Fi networks.
I have the iMac connected via Ethernet to the wireless router.
I connect via Airport with my MacBook Pro
I would appreciate if anyone has any pointers as to how I can start setting up a network between my ethernet-connected iMac and WiFi connected Macbook.
Thanks!

ethernet and airport/WiFi are just transmission media for the same network. If you can get internet on both computers, they are networked. Using the same router = same network.
So now, what is it you want to do? Share files between them?

IMac 21.5 inch Ethernet connection problem

I just got this iMac 21.5 inch 10,1 (Late 2009) about 1 week ago and what happens now is that Ethernet got some issue. Every time when start the PC, there is no connection with router although cable is connected. In the network window, it show Ethernet cable is unplugged. So I've to physically unplugged from either 1 end and re-plugged in again to get connected. Strange thing is my airport connection is working smoothly and my router to another PCs are also working normally. Can anyone care to share what could be the possible cause of this issue and how to resolve it. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Once it is connected, it working normally till restart again.

You can try a different Ethernet cable, but if it works after plugging back in, I don't think it would be the connection point. If it was, you should be able to disconnect and connect it while the iMac was off, and when you turn it on, it should work.
With AirPort turned off and Ethernet connected and working properly, open System Preferences Network pane. Where is says Locations, select +Edit Locations+. Click the plus sign to create a new location. Set up the new location's network settings as needed, and Apply. When using the new location, is there any improvement?
