Ethernet not working??

Have you tried running Diagnostics?
System Preferences > Network > Assist Me > Diagnostics.

Is your ethernet configured via DHCP or is it fixed address?

Make sure that when you're using the ethernet that your default gateway and DNS servers are specified.

I'm getting exactly the same problem. Email, skype etc work fine since upgrading to snow leopard but safari doesn't work. Network diagnostics reports a green light for Ethernet, network settings and ISP. However a red light shows on both Internet and server.

Same for me...

Green light - ethernet, network settings, ISP
Red light - internet, server

Skype works for me, don't use Mail. Nothing else can connect to the internet.

What's the deal? Was all working fine with 10.5.8 before I upgraded... Very frustrated.

I have managed to get safari working using the airport and disabling the Ethernet card. Although this works I think this should only be a temporary solution which needs to be fixed.

Has anyone tried using another browser to see if that works over ethernet?

*Having exactly the same issues as others.* Wireless works fine, getting an IP from the ethernet and able to browse company local shared drives and getting the infamous red lights on "Internet" and "Server" like everyone else when you access the Diagnostics.

I'm actually on the phone right now with support. I'd imagine they're super busy right now; first day and all.

I've also tried Firefox to no avail. No internet unless I'm using a wireless connection.

similar issue. I have a wired Ethernet connection with static IP. Installed Snow and it would not work at all for anything. All settings looked ok.

I switched on Airport and was back in business. Mostly.

A share on Exchange server would not let me mount it, saying my pwd had expired.

Pain in the butt.

*SOLUTION!!! SOLUTION!!!*

Create a new location in Network Settings under the "Location" drop-down. Worked with support to make it happen. Simple solution to a really frustrating problem

Yep, that's done it for me too!

System Preferences --> Network --> Location (at top) (mine was set to 'Automatic')

Clicked on 'Edit Locations...' and simply added a new location (call it anything). The ethernet connection now works fine.

So what was the problem then?!

Yes, worked for me too! well done

This did not work for me. More than one interface up, and no network beyond my local subnet -- no matter what the location or combination of interfaces.

Happy to report that this worked for me as well, the easiest fix I've ever encountered. Of course, I had to spend 3 hours bashing my head against the keyboard before I found this thread...

My Macbook Pro didn't have any trouble after installing Snow Leopard, only my Imac, and creating another location got me back on the internets, thanks!
