Primary network port (en0) is not reporting its hardware address properly

We have always had no problems with watching instant movies on Netflix until today for some reason, called Netflix and they said to contact Apple. We tried to reinstall the player and everything but they found out the "primary network port (en0) is not reporting its hardware address properly", not sure what that means. Since my phone support is expired they won't help me on the phone, so I'm hoping someone might have a solution for me here. Thank you.
Here's what the netflix tech support email said:
During the course of troubleshooting your experience watching instantly from Netflix on your Apple computer we discovered that your primary network port (en0) is not reporting its hardware address properly. The Microsoft Silverlight player that Netflix utilizes for watching instantly requires the correct hardware address of this network port to play back digitally protected content. The primary network port is typically the Ethernet port on the computer (with the exception being the Macbook Air) and reasons for playback failure can include hardware failure of the port itself or incorrect software configuration.
Please contact Apple for assistance with properly configuring the network interface(s) on your Apple computer at http://www.apple.com/support/expert or contact your local Apple Store for an appointment.
Thank you for choosing Netflix,

I have the same issue on a MacMini with a defunct Ethernet port. The primary port is en0 however it's an Apple a/b/g Airport card and apparently that combination isn't seen as valid by silverlight.

WRTU54G-TM not keeping its IP address, generally being annoying

I bought a Linksys WRTU54G-TM for the TMobile @Home service. Setting it up is proving to be absurdly frustrating because the webbased interface refuses to acknowledge that I have given it an IP address. I set the IP to 192.168.1.20, static IP, configured as a bridge, etc etc. Every time I was able to bring up the web interface the IP address was listed as 0.0.0.0 on the main page, but the Status page showed the correct IP.
I shut off the wireless router part because we already have a wireless setup -- ironically a WRT54G Linux-based Linksys router that's been working without a hitch for 3 years. Since the TMobile router and the main router are in wholly separate areas of the house, we're using a Zoom wireless access point so it can still remain part of the network. The Zoom access point has been working flawlessly for around 2 years.
After a few minutes of trying to figure out **bleep** is going on, now the router is not responding to 192.168.1.20 at all.
At this point I'm getting overly frustrated and about to chuck the thing through the nearest wall. Why doesn't the webform keep the IP address? Why does the router seem so keen on reverting to 192.168.24.1 when I've never set that as an IP address? I won't even get into the fact that the router isn't letting me use the phone ports because that's a whole different can of worms.
Has anyone else had this amount of trouble with the WRTU54G-TM? Did I just get a lemon?

There's one the WRT54G Linux-based router that's serving as a DHCP server. I've disabled the DHCP server on the TMobile router and told it to use a static IP address (192.168.1.20, WRT54G is at 192.168.1.1). So far everything is working fine even though the web interface continues to deny that it has a proper IP address -- but only on the initial form; going to the Status page still lists the proper IP. It doesn't appear to be causing any issues other than annoying me so I'm letting it fly (otherwise the router itself would be flying).
There was an issue earlier with the router forgetting about the connected phone when I was transferring a large file across the network but that hasn't reappeared. We're getting some static a few seconds into phone conversations but I'm attributing that to a cordless phone that the soon-to-be-Mrs insisted on using. Hopefully I'll be able to talk her into a VTech DS6121 setup, or something similar, so that won't be an issue going forward. Wish me luck

My Photosmart 3210 will not change its IP address. It is always 0.0.0.0. even after a Manual setup

My printer has become disconnected from my Network. The first time I removed all the software and re-installed it / rebooted and it seemed to be ok. However, after 4 or 5 pages it stopped and HP Solution Centre showed the printer as Disconnected. Device Manager showed the device as disabled so I enabled it but no change. I then checked the Network set-up and the IP address was shown under the Manual set-up as 0.0.0.0. and I could not reset it to the correct value. I added the correct numbers but when I pressed OK it reverted to 0.0.0.0. everytime. I could set the Submask and Gateway to the correct value but not the printer. Is this a 'dead' machine ? I have tried removing power and restarting......

The router is a 2-Wire model supplied by BT and shows the network correctly - and with the correct IP address for the printer, but it is shown as disconnected. I've tried changing it using the printer front panel and add the IP i want manually and as soon as I OK to store the info if reverts to 0.0.0.0. I can change the Subnet Mask and the Default Gateway and they will stay but as soon as I set the IP address again it all reverts to 0.0.0.0.. I guess the network card is dead and I have now set the printer up using the USB connection..... and my last USB socket on the computer .....

My husband and I have the same itunes password. When I tried to set up his own, it said that I could not use his email address because it is a back up address on mine. How can I change that....can't find the right place to go. Thanks

My husband and I have the same itunes password. When I tried to set up a separate one for him, it said that his email address was used as a backup on my phone so it could not have its own address. Where do I go to remove his address as my backup address....thanks

Depends on your model TV. Read your TV user manual. The newer models have "how to hookup" instructions for computer & games.
You can also do a forum search as well as a Google search.

If I connect a time capsule via ethernet to an existing internet connection and use it to create a private wifi network for my wireless devices, will other users on the primary network (not the private wifi one) be able to access my files on my TCapsule?

Like it says in the title basically.
I want to use a time capsule to store my files and backups and access it from my phone and MacBook Air. However I do not want the others in my house who are currently connected to the same wifi/ethernet router to use my connection or my TC hard drives.
I had also been thinking about wirelessly extending the wifi network (a linksys N router) but I guess that will allow everyone to access my Time Capsule?
I hope you guys can help me.
Regards, Guido

......will other users on the primary network (not the private wifi one) be able to access my files on my TCapsule?
No, if you have not provided them with the Time Capsule device password.
Users will be able to "see" the Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading in the Finder on their Macs, but they will not be able to access the drive or the files.

Same answer as above.

Talk to someone who knows something about networking and/or firewalls on an appropriate forum.
Configuring your network and/or firewall is beyond the scope of this forum, which is devoted to issues using the iPhone.

I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro- can not work on FCP simultaneously when my network ports are on (open). How do I go about changing this?

Hi!
I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro and can not work simultaneously on FCP on all workstations when the network port is open. Can anyone help me on this?

Did you purchase Final Cut Pro from the Mac app store? Or install it from disk? If from disk, you may have installed it on all machines using the same serial number, and using all of them simultaneously violates the license agreement. If you purchase from the App store the licensing is different and that may not apply.

Primary network does not work, guest network does work

I updated the firmware on the Time Capsule, after which we had a power outage. When the Time Capsule came back up, after a bunch of fiddling around we discovered that although the primary network cannot connect the Internet through our phone system router, the guest network works fine. The primary network does not work with the guest network turned off. Resetting the Time Capsule had no effect.

After an entire day of messing around, we went into Airport Utility, selected Internet, selected DHCP, and changed DHCP Beginning Address to match the one showing on the guest network (172.16). Now the primary network can see the Internet.

What kind of is this and how do I exterminate it? “Not allowed to use restricted network port”

If you have anti virus software installed, try disabling that and try turning off the Firewall.
