Feb 16, 2014 9:00 PM in response to renatafromsan franciscoby Anissa Wong,Changing the ipv6 isn't working for me even though the icon is green and it looks like it's connected. You still can't get through to the internet. Will try fixing the ip.

Thank you, renatafromsan francisco! This solution worked!

Jul 19, 2014 4:16 PM in response to dbcmby vladarino,I tried a few solutions I found here and on other sites. Not sure exactly which step fixed it, but I'm up and running now with no self-assigned IP address issues. Note, my setup also has a Powerline ethernet adapter that's plugged into my wall outlet and acts as an ethernet port. Here is what I did:
- Go to the /Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/ folder and remove the file called "com.apple.alf.plist." (as stated earlier in this thread)
- Do what is listed in post 154 here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=384947&page=7
- Restart router, then computer. Now if you have a powerline ethernet adapter like me, unplug/replug it.
- From the Network section of System Preferences, delete your "Ethernet" service entry by clicking on the "-" sign. Now click on the "+" sign to create a new Ethernet service.
Your new Ethernet service should be green and have it's own IP address.

Nov 26, 2014 4:47 PM in response to dbcmby DanielChen,Hi Guys,
Simply answer.
I delete all of other not working network options and only leave the Wifi on.
Turn the ethernet back on with default.
Back work as normal, no problem.

Dec 4, 2014 12:38 PM in response to vladarinoby BLCSLO,Tried what you advised. The 154 post did not work for me, since it could find flush command.
I've tried a good number of the other avenues and had come up empty until I did the following:
1. Network, uncheck passive box under proxies for ethernet.
2. Plug in ethernet. Reboot router with ethernet still plugged in, and then got a green ethernet that i'm using right now to post this.
I tried unplugging and plugging back in and restarting router with it unplugged, but it then worked when plugged in a rebooted router.
Just saying that something actually ended up working.

Apr 2, 2015 7:25 PM in response to Pippy2Kby SOCUHM,I used the first of those router numbers and entered it in the "Router" field when I had configured the IPv4 as "Manual". This fixed the problem for me right away. My computer had generated some useless IP address and then as soon as I entered the router number, it went right back to the correct address and started working.

Apr 8, 2015 11:44 AM in response to dbcmby drukker,Same problem: self-assigned IP address. Turns out my Firewall settings (in Preferences / Security / Firewall) were the problem. I turned off my firewall and ethernet came back immediately.

Jul 23, 2015 6:52 PM in response to dbcmby kaz-k,System Preferences > Network > Advance > DHCP, then click "Renew DHCP Lease" could solve the problem.

Sep 7, 2015 12:55 PM in response to tawfikby J_Fick,Thank you. This worked for me on 10.9.5. The subnet mask had defaulted to 255.255.255.0 instead of 255.255.0.0. After fixing that and then manually entering an IP and router address, everything started working again.

Sep 30, 2015 4:33 PM in response to dbcmby Shark<^><,Been troubled by this problem since I bought my Macbook last year. Just stumbled on a solution for my problem that makes no sense, but I'll take it.
In the Network panel under Location, "Automatic" never worked, so for a year I set the DHCP manually. I just monkeyed around with it tonight and found that if I create a second, new "Automatic2" (or any name) under Location it works great. It automatically find an IP address just like "Automatic" should. All settings in Automatic and Automatic2 are identical except Automatic2 works and the factory Automatic doesn't. Go figure.?
Hope this helps someone else.

Jan 20, 2016 3:24 PM in response to dbcmby gerome760,After close to 6 hours of resetting, configuring, calling comcast etc. I found this that totally solved my problems on the computers I have attached to wired internet.
1. Open a terminal window
2. type cd /Library/Preferences/System Configuration
3. type open .
4. Find the NetworkInterfaces.plist
5. Trash it
6. Restart your computer
7. Go to Network and it will automatically find your wired connection
