Q: Ethernet port no longer working
Issue - Ethernet connection just stopped. Router not seeing Mac thru router.
Tried all these options:
- restart,
- shutdown/reboot
- disk utility 2x,
- rebooted cable modem/Router #1 & 2
- switch out original cable to new ethernet cable
- reconnected Mac to Router #2
- switched out oirignal cable to anhther Mac.
All to no avail.
Bought a USB to ethernet but that didn't work either.
2 questions. Any way to fix this? and how do I set up wireless? When I go to systems preference, it asks for a WP. What is this?

Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
What model Mac Pro desktop?
Does system Profilier show the that Ethernet hardware is installed?
OS X: About System Information and System Profiler - Apple Support
Does network preferences show not connected?
You also asked "When I go to systems preference, it asks for a WP. What is this"
What system preferences?
