Trouble With Dropped Ethernet Connection
Hello all...
I'm running 10.6.7 on a Mac Pro. I'm having a problem with my Ethernet connection keeps dropping. I know it's not my router or cable modem (or cable) because when I plug the cable into my MacBook Pro instead of my Mac Pro it works fine.
The symptom is that all Ethernet activity stops. In Network Preferences, using DHCP, it appears all is OK, but if I turn the configuration OFF then back to DHCP, then I get a self-assigned IP address.
I tried resetting PRAM, repaired permissions, cleared caches, and did a reinstall of 10.6.7. Reinstalling 10.6.7 seemed to help for a while, but then the problem started recurring.
If anyone has any ideas of what to try? This is getting frustrating!
Thanks!
