self-assigned IP my iMac crashed, had to re-install everything, now my ethernet connection shows a yellow sign and says 'ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will no be able to connect to the internet'. That's a bummer, as it worked before the crash and since my wifi signal in this room is weak...... I tried the 'easy fixes' (including DHCP Lease etc). What's going on? Thanks for your help.

server IP address could not be found Hello, Recently out of the blue, on my IMac - Big Sur 11.04, I get a (mycompany.com's) server IP address could not be found. I can access it on other Mac devices so something must have changed on this computer. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance

Hi DiggerCrawfurd,

This link covers some good troubleshooting If your Mac doesn't connect to the Internet over Wi-Fi.

Give that a try, and let us know the results. Cheers.
