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

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?

Ethernet port troubles

Hi folks.
I've recently bought a refurb Mac Mini to supplement my iBook. Everything's fine and I'm fully up-to-date, except that the Ethernet port seems to be dodgy. The Mac Mini loses connection with my cable modem regularly, though it will recover connection if I remove and reconnect the cable or generally waggle it around.
I can't believe this is a problem with the cable, as I have used it without any problems on two other computers. I was just wondering if anyone's heard of problems like this before with the Mac Mini and if there might be any precedent for hardware faults of this nature?
Thanks.

I'm also having trouble with my mini on the ethernet. The problem that I'm seeing is that it seems to be doing very strange things with its Ethernet MAC address -- Everything on the mini seees the MAC address as 00:0d:93:7b:cf:a6, but it shows up in the router DHCP client tables as that and some invalid value that changes each time I reboot the mini. The DHCP service on the router is dutifully providing an IP address to both the real MAC address and the wierd one, but the mini only responds to connections at the IP address assigned to the weird one. The current weird IP address displays on the router (A D-Link DI-524 running the latest firmware available) DHCP clinet list as "6D696E69", which is not 6 octets (the real MAC address display as "00-0d-93-7b-cf-a6" in the same list). Previously (before the most recent reboot), the weird address was showing up as "6D697373696E6D", which is also not 3 octets -- it's 7 octets.
I saw similar behavior with a LinkSys RT31P2 router, though it never showed me the odd formatting, it just showed somewhat random MAC addresses. I thought it was a problem with that router, so I put the D-Link in its place, and now I'm seeing what I've described. With the Linksys, I'd have to reboot the router any time I rebooted the mini, otherwise I could not connect to the internet through the router.
I've been having this problem with my wired LAN since I got the mini, but I was blaming the router. Now I'm pretty well convinced that there's something amiss with the mini's ethernet port.

New Mini Server, ethernet problem

I had setup my mini using wireless, but want to switch to being hardwired. I turned off the wifi, set my airport extreme to assign a particular IP to the MAC address of the mini's ethernet port, and rebooted. The mini only gets a 169* IP -- it never gets a real ip address and I'm baffled. What is the story there?

Hi
Frist obvious thing that springs to mind - is the APX your DHCP Server?

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.

Can't login to Mac App store on mac mini. Is it because my ethernet port is fried?

Hi
like many others, I am unable to log in to the mac app store on my mac mini. I get the error message saying "An unknown error has occured". I believe the ethernet port is damaged after an electrical storm, but I can still get online wirelessly. I've read on these forums that the app store verifys the account using the ethernet port. Can anybody confirm if this is the case, is there a workaround that anyone knows of?
I can log into the App store on my laptop fine, just not the mac mini.
Thanks in advance
Paul

This is happening on 2 of my machines. One is OSX Lion, the other OSX Mountain Lion. My personal rig works just fine - all on the same network, all with the same basic configuration. All can log in and out of iTunes, but the two servers can't login via Appstore. My rig and one of the servers even use the same Ethernet driver, so it's not that.
I would seriously doubt your Ethernet card would be working at all if it was indeed damaged by the lightning. The transducers are relatively sensitive, and it would either fry or not. You won't get "intermittent" operation as you have described. Here is a list of all the things I've tried (based on a number of forum suggestions), none of which has worked:
1) Sign out of itunes, sign back in, try to sign in to AppStore.
2) Re-enter information in your account info and save it again (knew that wasn't it but tried anyway).
3) Ran AppStore as root.
4) Using EFIStudio, I got the hex string ID of my ethernet card and specifically reference "device-properties" in the boot.plist. Others have said this works, so you might give it a try -
http://legacy.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=169&t=28477
5) Deleted all other ethernet devices to avoid "confusion" of the return.
6) Verified I can get HTTPS returned from NAT device.
7) Used Wireshark to get a packet capture of it working on mine and not working on the other. On the one that doesn't work, all I get is a couple of SYNs to the appstore and then nothing. It was along these lines that I was hoping the "device-properties" would work.
I just thought of something though. If I don't see that ACK at all, it might be sending the packets somewhere else. hmmm. I'm going to hard-code in all HTTPS to be routed to that box and try it just for S&G.
Good luck!

Mac Mini Ethernet port gone bad, doesn't show in network preferance pane?

My friend 's Mac Mini was doing fine then he shutdown disconnected everything and brought it over to my house for LAN games. He then couldn't get online through my router. I told him go to his network pane to see what kind of error it was giving, cable errors IP but no internet...etc, and only internal modem was displayed in the list. So I immediately went to his port setting and ethernet was checkmarked. So then I thought well maybe some PMU reset problem so I tried the resets and still not present from the network pane. So then I hooked my external hd to his firewire as a startup drive to eliminate that it just wasn't a software problem and it is still not showing up on network pane. I then skimmed through some online articles and things but to no avail. I just was thinking it was a 5 minute drive from his house to here and he said didn't do anything different from the other times he was here but something must have jarred it or perhaps just a coinseidense that the ethernet port went out when he was coming over. And to top it off he had made arrange for next weekend to sell it to a friend and get a new Intel iMac, which right now has to be put on the backburner until he has a working unit again. Applecare is up so that is out of the question. Any suggestion out there would be appreciated. Or is it just beyond easy fixes and has to either be repaired or keep and save from scratch for a new one?

OMG, guys I feel so dumb the new update to Tiger changed the way network pane worked so that was the whole problem its normal under 10.4.5 so plugged in a good cable and it came up fine go figure right. For being Apple certified for repair I sure looked past such an easy solution.

Does the Mac Mini have an ethernet port?

I just wanted to know if the Mac Mini has an ethernet port on the back of it? I have internet with an ethernet port, and I wanted to know if it would work on the Mac Mini too??

The others are correct, the Mac mini, like all Macs in the past ten years or so, has an Ethernet port. You can check out all of the Mac mini's technical specifications here:

Mini ethernet port as a solution to imac dead ethernet port

I have an old imac 2002 version and it works great but the ethernet port is dead ...not sure why...but I have checked the cables and connections with another computer and they are fine...So assuming that the port is dead
Can I purchase a mini and use the ethernet port as my connection to the internet via dsl modem and still use my imac...what I'm wondering is can the mini act as a second hard drive and can I network it to my imac via firewire and the use the etherport from the mini to get on the internet....directing it all through my imac?
I have been told in order to get my imac to connect with a dead ethernet port I need to purchase a new motherboard. That seems like a simple solution...but my imac works great except the ethernet...so if I can find a solution that will just offer me a ethernet connection to the internet and still let me use my imac and give me more memory ...all the better...
I am not well versed on the mini....So I need some expert advise as to whether it could be a alternative solution...that would also give me additional harddrive.
Help!

Yes indeed. Your plan will work (I have done similar with mini/powerbook and powermac).
In a nutshell - set up the new mini to use the ethernet. Once the network is running, go to Sharing preference pane and select the internet "tab". Choose to share the Built-In Ethernet with the Built-in Firewire - and click start.
Then connect the mini to the iMac with a firewire cable. Set the iMac to use firewire for its network.
The only possible gotcha is if you are not on the latest OS (this should work back a version or two - but I don't recall when I first did this). Second gotcha might be the firewall on the mini. You may have to enable logging to see if the firewall is preventing the iMac to connect in and through to the internet. If so - you have to live with opening up some ports on your firewall or learn how to configure that one iMac to get in and not the rest of the world (assuming you don't have a router or other firewall device to protect the new mini.)
Cheers and good luck.

Share internet from Ethernet port on Mac mini

After moving houses, I don't have any land line with internet. I have now got mobile internet from Vodafone connected to my Mac mini. This I share over the ethernet port and feed into my Airport extreme base station (AEBS) WAN port.
Also, my blackbook is connected to the AEBS via ethernet cable. Iphone and Ipad to be connected over WiFi.
Mobile internet > MacMini USB > MacMini shared ethernet > AEBS > Blacbook >> iPhone & iPad.
What is the best way to set up AEBS? To share a public internet address? As a brigde? To distribute a IP range?
And also what IP ranges AEBS would work on as default.
Also: the shared ethernet port on the Mini, should that be configured by DHCP or some other way. Now it says it has a self assigned IP and may not be able to connect.
I have tried a lot, but I am not a network savy person.
Any help and suggestions are welcome.

Mini ethernet port no longer works after 10.5.5

After upgrading my Mac Pro, Mini and MBP to 10.5.5 everything is working fine except on my Mini the ethernet no longer establishes a connection, I've tried other cables and connections, but its suddenly dead; I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?

Hi
Turn mac off unplug everything, take battery out and press the power button, put battery in and turn on.

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.

No internet access via ethernet port

Hi, have been using my emac via ethernet cable to router, for many months with NO problem accessing internet and others cabled to same router also having no problem and I have used my Pwr Mac wtih no problem and have never had to make any specific settings to either to access the net via the router which gets its wifi signal from elsewhere. With system preferences > network > ethernet open I can see the the router is being recognized cause it appears or dissappears as soon as I plug or unlug the ethernet cable. I open "Activity Monitor" and occasionally, very briefly, there will be data incoming( green spikes ) or outgoing( red spikes ). HD verified OK, ran disk permnissions and scripts. Have not yet run Apple or other( Micro-mat ) hardware testing programs tho I will later. Does anyone know if there is a PLIST file that can get corrupted that would affect ethernet port functioning properly? My guess it is hardware but since I can see the router is recognized makes me wonder about corrupt file ergo a system error or possibly inloaded some file that caused conflict. I also booted from my external drive and tried accessing from the cloned OS system and still did not work. The cloned system is the original has never been updated, nor has any of the applications in clone, so, if it was "system" problem the clone should have worked. However, I had cloned user ergo newest documents, library etc, so that would be the only possible source of conflicts when booted from clone system....Thx Ran

Ping test should be interesting.

*MAC Address*
Every ethernet port has a unique MAC Address. A router can block on a MAC Address. That is why I suggest you check out your router.
Note MAC is not Mac. MAC is all upper case.

*Ethernet port hardware*
I'd say this was some kind of strange hardware problem.
*Dns problem?*
It has symptoms of a DNS problem. The little traffic is a symptom of the problem. You said all the numbers were the same, however.
Verify DNS
apple > system preferences > network
Double click on network connection you are using.
Pick the TCP/IP tab.
Verify that you have a DNS Server. If you do not, look on your windows machine and see what the net address is. You can also pick using DHCF and still enter you DNS server address.
You can use

If pinging 17.254.3.183 works but pinging Google.com doesn't. You have a bad DNS Server address.
BDAqua suggests in a post.
You can use OpenDNS for looking up web addresses.
Put these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers for a try...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
I think they now pretend you need to join to use, but you don't.

(Please note that you do not need to a joint Open DNS to use it.)

Google provides free dns lookup too. There numbers are:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

I suggest that you try pinging Google.com.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
mac $ ping -c4 google.com

Analysis: If you cannot ping Goolge.com but you can ping 64.233.187.99, then you need to enter you dns address. For some reason Mac OS X sometimes doesn't set the dns. You can set it manually.
apple > system preferences > network
tcp/ip tab and enter address of dns servers
example 162.33.160.100
You will need to use a different number.
PS.
You are a little short on stating results. You state what you did, but I have to guess the result.
Did: X
Result: Y
Did:
1) Power Book's ethernet cable plugged into router port 5. Working to yahoo.com.
2) Unplugged power book's ethernet cable from router
3) Plugged eMac's ethernet cable into port 5.
Result: eMac using Firefox was not able to access yahoo.com
