TCP/IP settings/Ethernet

I just moved to a new place with ethernet internet connection. It works fine with my newer ibook but my old imac that still uses 9.2 doesnt have the address for ethernet I called the provider but they said to ask mac. Does anyone know what the settings are? Thanks

Hi, sandypags -
Welcome to Apple's Discussons.
Usually the settings for connecting via ethernet to a DSL or cable connection are few -
- in the TCP/IP control panel, set
Connect via -to- Ethernet
Configure -to- Using DHCP Server
- in the Internet control panel, E-Mail tab, be sure the account information has been entered correctly.

  • No internet access using manual TCP/IP settings after 10.4.6

    I stopped being able to access the internet with manual TCP/IP settings in the Network Preferences after updating from 10.4.5 -> 10.4.6.
    When I change settings to use DHCP everything works fine, but I need to get the manual settings working as I use them quite often when configuring/setting-up routers.
    This happens with both the AirPort and Ethernet interfaces, so it doesn't matter which interface I use to connect through.
    My network Locations with manual TCP/IP settings have worked fine with 10.4.5, under the same networking hardware (routers, cables, etc...).
    This occurs both at home (with my Linksys wireless router) and at work (with a DrayTek router).
    At home, this problem occurs with both my PB12 and my wife's iBook12, after the 10.4.6 update was applied.
    At work, all Windows laptops can connect to the internet using manual TCP/IP settings, but not my PB12.
    Example of my settings:
    - IP: 192.168.1.99
    - Mask: 255.255.255.0
    - Router: 192.168.0.1
    - DNS: <empty>
    - Domains: <empty>
    Already tried, without success:
    - verified disk -> no errors found on disk!
    - repaired permissions, using Disk Utility, rebooted and tested -> no connection!
    - tried with DNS=192.168.0.1 -> no connection!!
    - tried with DNS=[my ISP primary dns] -> still nothing!!!
    - even tried reapplying the combo update 10.4.5 -> of course, it didn't let me, as I'm now in 10.4.6!
    Any thoughts or ideas to fix it and make it work in 10.4.6?
    ... other than archive&install, in order to downgrade!

    Yes, buy I also state in my original post that I:
    - tried with DNS=[my ISP primary dns] -> still nothing!!!
    but yes, I probably should have titled it "No network access using..." (posting as 4:30 AM was probably not the best idea :D)
    I understand I might have been a bit clumpsy posting my problem and appreciate everyone's corrections to what I wrote, but trust me that I have done a lot of tests and spent many hours on this... Bear in mind that I am using a network Location with manual definitions that was working before the update!
    Anyway, as it happens, the likely culprit now seems to be more of a 3rd party software's inability to deal with 10.4.6 rather than the 10.4.6 itself!
    I've disabled/unistalled/turnned off/deleted (depending on the app) anything NOT Apple that had anything to do with networking, be it for monitoring, controlling or managing (just to name a few: Little Snitch, Menu Meters, BrickHouse, etc, etc, etc...).
    The Location with the manual settings is now working fine (at least at the office).
    Over the next week or so I'll incrementaly re-install those 3rd party tools (which were most likely not up-to-date anyway) and see if something breaks at some point... but won't put much effort into it -- just happy to see it working again!
    I'm closing this for now, as I don't have any more time for it (work is pilling up!)... If I manage to find out which version/app combination was causing the problem I'll post it back here!

  • Configure DNS & Search Domains in TCP/IP Settings via Terminal?

    HI Folks,
    I've been having a long standing battle trying to find out what is wrong with my machine, it's been running like a dog for a while and having recently added 2 new Macs to our network i recall that there was a setting missing - namely within the TCP/IP settings for the Built In Ethernet, the DNS Servers and Search Domains are not configured on my machine, but are on the new ones i've added (mine was my new foray into Macs so i maybe set it up wrong!)
    However the main problem occurs when i try to edit the settings for the above from within System Preferences -> Network, i get a spinning beach ball of doom and have to Force Quit. Yet oddly i can access the setting fine when i am at home and not connected to the AD of the Windows Server Environment... which makes me think the events could be linked.... i thought it may have been Parallels and it's NAT settings, but given that all works perfectly at home i'm not so sure. Hence, as a process of elimination i'd like to try and get the correct settings for Search Domain etc to see if it helps, before i flatten the machine and reinstall Tiger completely!
    The main issues i've been having with the machine can be found here:

    Hi Phil (and others!)
    I opted for the easy choice, which did work... and have added the Search Domain info etc whilst at home... and touch wood today things seem to be working better, i can easily access network preferences etc and have had no hanging apps as yet...
    I did try and use different locations for work and home, but sadly i ended up with a spinning beach ball of doom when i tried to change the location at work, so it was a slightly pointless exercise!!!

    Hello NotAppleSavy,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • TCP/IP settings for airport card

    ok, first off...please take it easy on me...i'm a windows guy but am close to purchasing a mac for my girlfriend and also have an iPhone so please understand that i love macs, just don't know too much about them..yet
    i have a need to set TCP/IP settings for an airport card when the mac connects to a specific SSID (Peanut Gang). the problem is due to the fact that when macs connect to a linksys WRE54G wireless repeater, they do not obtain the TCP/IP info. you can go into system prefs -> network and renew the lease and it obtains the info but i've been asked to "automate" this process.
    ok, i'm not sure if it's possible but when i saw the "automator" section here i thought i would ask. i know how i could do it through scripting on a windows machine but i digress, ha!
    thanks

    You may want to ask this over in the "Networking" group.
    Also clarify whether you're having these issues with a mac you have, or just what.
    Might want to specify what kind of mac is having this problem, too.
    And be ready to explain just what you're asking when you say:"need to set TCP/IP settings for an airport card when the mac connects to a specific SSID"
    There are some pretty good blokes in that discussion group.
    welcome

  • Early 08 MBPro-TCP/IP settings are not saved

    On my home wireless network I have MAC address filtering enabled and broadcast SSID disabled. All MAC addresses are entered in the router's filter. An early 08 MBPro does not retain network settings for Verizon router on the network. When I look at the TCP/IP settings in network prefs I see they are nothing like other computers on my home network. If I click "assist me" then "diagnostics" in Airport setup I get walked through a process which allows me to choose the network I want to join. There is a list of available networks which does not include mine (since SSID is disabled) and a button which allows me to choose closed network, which I take. After entering my network's ID and WEP password I finally get connected and get a message that my connection is OK. Problem is, when I put the computer to sleep or restart I can't reconnect and the old settings which don't work reappear. It appears that the TCP/IP settings are not being saved. Could this be some corrupted preference of does it sound like a hardware problem? Thanks for any insights.

    Odd. You may be able to repair this with the 10.5.7 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    Oh, and please be sure to re-boot your modem and router.

  • Missing TCP/IP settings for iPhone tethering (Bluetooth and USB)

    Is it just me or Apple has completely disabled the TCP/IP settings for BT and USB connections for iPhone tethering (and possibly any other mobile devices)?
    I can now only set the IP addresses and DNS server. No Proxies or WINS settings tabs.
    I have also noticed that if you setup a USB tethering connection in Leopard and upgrade to Snow Leopard, the settings are still available, but NOT if you make a clean install of Snow Leopard and create a new iPhone USB tethering connection.
    I always use a SOCKS5 when I'm using my tethering connection for security and better/faster connection with my manual proxy server setup. I find the new "options" in SL very limited, not only for my usage.

    I got this to work again (in fact, I'm tethered right now
    Here are the steps I followed:
    1) Upgraded to iTunes 9
    2) Upgraded iPhone to OS 3.1
    3) Removed device from Bluetooth Devices list on my MBP
    4) Removed Bluetooth PAN from Network preferences
    5) Restarted iPhone and MBP
    6) Set-up iPhone as a Bluetooth Device on MBP
    7) Enabled tethering on iPhone
    8) Connected to iPhone network via the Bluetooth icon on my MBP menu bar
    9) Verified that the blue "Internet Tethering" bar was on the iPhone
    10) Manually added Bluetooth PAN to my MBP network preferences (connect show as yellow, "IP cannot be assigned" message)
    11) Opened the Advanced pane and clicked the "Renew DHCP Lease" button
    12) IP was assigned!
    I'm not sure if the first two steps contributed to the solution or not, but these are the steps that worked for me.
    Good luck to you all...

    Hi TomG101,
    It seems that there is a configuration conflict on the virtual switch port .
    Also I tested the command on my lab , it works .
    For troubleshooting please  create a new virtual switch then try to configure again .
    Any further information please feel free to let us know .

  • Changing local TCP/IP settings via labview

    Is there any means of changing the TCP/IP Settings on the local PC programaticaly. This may involve reseting the NIC instead of reseting the PC

  • IMac is not connecting to the internet. TCP/IP settings gone.  Ethernet works OK.

    I have 3 Macs, but today the iMac is not connecting to the internet. The others are fine.  The iMac Airport antenna on the tool bar shows a strong signal, and when I pull down on it, it shows it's connected, but in Network Preferences is says Not Connected.
    Then, in the TCP/IP tab, all my setting are gone!. The settings in my laptops are just fine.
    I power-cycled everything, but the iMac is still without connection.
    When I connect the iMac to the Time Machine/Air

    I would test something else connected by ethernet like the laptop to make sure it was not a router thing
    then I would connect the appletv by usb to the laptop and use itunes to restore the firmware if that was the issue
    then I would try  bringing it to a friend or relatives place and test it there
    if all else failed it would resturn it under warrenty

  • Missing ethernet option in TCP/IP settings

    I just got a broadband connection... When I plugged it in and went to configure it in CtrlPanel > TCP/IP I saw that the only options for "Connect via" were PPP and AppleTalk. How can I get the drop down list to display Ethernet...
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, cjzappleid -
    If your G4 model is a G4 (AGP) or G4 (PCI) model, you will need to use a Crossover type cable to connect the Cable modem directly to the Mac.
    Later models of G4's have an auto-sensing ethernet port, one which can reconfigure itself to use either a Crossover or a Patch type cable; since the G4 (AGP) and earlier do not have such a port, care must be taken to use the correct kind of cable.
    On those models where it does make a difference -
    • When direct-connecting an ethernet device (such as a modem) to the Mac, a Crossover type cable must be used.
    • When connecting an ethernet device to a Mac through an intermediate device such as a hub, switch, or router, then a Patch type (also called Straight-through) cable must be used.
    Article #42717 - Apple products that require an Ethernet Crossover cable
    It is difficult to tell one type from another, unless the cable itself is marked. One way to tell one cable from another is to examine the color coding of the wires in the end connectors -
    Ethernet Cable: Color Coding Standard

  • Locked TCP/IP settings on W500

    I am using ThinkVantage Access Connections to switch my network settings between workplaces. Today all attempts to switch from one ethernet-based setting (manual IP) to another (dhcp-based) setting failed. I then tried to change the settings directly (without ThinkVantage). However when I try to set an IP adress to "automatic", it will prompt me for a restart (eventhough I am admin) after the restart the setting is back to manual IP. I have then deinstalled ThinkVantage Access Connections (keeping only the profiles) - however this doesn't seem to change anything, I still can't change the TCP/IP setting to DHCP (it will prompt me for a restart, after which it's still in the manual setting). After the deinstallation of ThinkVantage, Windows WLAN detection fails as well. I installed now and updated version of ThinkVantage Access Connections. Still no success.
    Any help? Why is this TCP/IP setting locked?

    Go into Settings > Network, choose your network and on the bottom, instead of auto choose manual.

  • Extreme Base station can't extend signal from Mini desktop ?TCP/IP settings

    I have a Mac Mini connected to DSL via a lynksys 8 port workgroup switch. I had 6 rooms in my house connected to the router by ethernet wiring. Worked great for several years. Now 2 rooms cabling seems to have gone bad (mice or squirrels, maybe). To avoid rewiring the connection outlets or pulling wire again (Ugh!), we bought an extreme base station. It transmits the internet signal fine when connected to the ethernet network (roaming), but I cannot get it to allow clients to access the internet in WDS mode.
    The base station is in a central location where there is not an ethernet jack. It picks up the airport signal from the Mini (with extreme card and yes, I have the MAC address of the Mini chosen).
    Internet connection is "shared" on the Mini and the laptops have no trouble accessing internet within close range of the Mini. The laptops can't access the internet through the base station. I suspect it's how the TCP/IP is assigned. I have tried every possible combination in the Airport Admin Utility.
    In the WDS diagrams, it always shows 2 or more Base stations, never a Desktop and a Base. Are these incompatible?

    ...but can't figure out how for the Mini....
    When you select "Share your Internet connection with AirPort-equipped computers," click AirPort Options to give your network a name and password.
    Since they are the "same" network does it matter?
    If one has no encryption or is using weaker encryption it will be the weak link for others to access your entire network.
    Normally, if you want to seamlessly roam between the 2 wireless networks, ensure that they are using the same network name (SSID), same encryption type, same encryption level, and same encryption password. However any wireless device connecting to the Mac mini's network will be on a separate subnet.
    Now I've got to figure out how to get files off the Office Desktop from the laptops, should I set up afp for airport or ethernet?
    Enable Personal File Sharing on the Desktop.

  • Using modbus/TCP with USB ethernet adapters

    I have a test stand where I have a handful of USB instruments and a single modbus/TCP slave.  I'm considering adding a USB ethernet adapter to the stand so that there is a single USB cable connecting the computer to the hardware rather than both a USB and an ethernet connection.  Does anybody out there have experience (good or bad) using USB ethernet adapters with modbus/TCP slaves?
    The existing USB instruments all use ASCII/SCPI-style command sets.  The Modbus/TCP slave is an Automation Direct EBC-100.  Nothing high-bandwidth or low-latency.  Basically, the computer issues no more than a handful or command or request (ether SCPI or Modbus/TCP) per minute.

  • Display Settings Ethernet Controler T540p

    So I have a nice new T540p that was a replacement for the Twist that had some faulty bios issues. Now I'm having issues with this display as well as the Ethernet controller. 
    Link to image
    Here are the drivers if you need any more information please let me know. I booted into the bios to see if maybe there is a display option and use the gfx card for the internal display. For some reason everything is using the Intel HD chipset instead of the 730m. Is there something that needs to be done? There was a screen replacement done about a week ago. Is there a different display port to use the 730m?
    Ethernet controller has never worked. I installed the drivers but I get this error message whenever I do it says there are no Intel devices connected.
    Please let me know if anymore information is needed.

    If i understood you right:
    go to your system-settings. There you will find the settings for the Nvidia Controll-Panel.
    und 3D-Settings you will find the option for your prefered graphic card
    - choosen by system
    - always internal (=Intel HD)
    - always high performance (=Nvidia)
    seems like the auto setting isn't the best.
