    Open Network Utility in Applications>Utilities>Info tab, select Ethernet & what is the Link Speed & are there any Errors/Collisions on the right?

     

    10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...

     

    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.

     

    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

    I've already done it, but it doesn't resolve my problem, also I haven't erorrs and collisions. Link speed is 100mb/s. I tried connect via wifi and connection was ok.

    What raw speeds do you get with Ethernet & Wifi?

     

    What do you get for raw speeds here, for both Java & Flash, DSL Reports...

    As I wrote above I have quite slow connection via ethernet and when I tried to make the test I reload page many times. When make a ping very often it says "Request timeout for icmp_seq". I understand that it has problem with my ethernet card. Can I check it?

    Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...

     

    208.67.222.222

    208.67.220.220

     

    Then Apply. For 10.5/10.6/10.7 Network, highlight Interface>Advanced button>DNS tab>little + icon.

    Try adding the IP of your Router to the DNS numbers.

    Are you getting your gateway, DNS and IP address via DHCP or you have set it statically? Is the DNS of the ether set to 127.0.0.1? If it is, set the value of the DNS to the IP address of whatever router appliance you are using. 

     

    Switch to your wifi again, then access Network on the System preferences, look at the value of the DNS and gateway. Write down the values then switch back to ethernet, try to check if they are the same (typically they should be since I assume you are not using a different router when connected via wifi).

     

    If you are quite comfortable with the Terminal.app, you can check your gateway using

     

    $ netstat -nr

     

    It will give you lots of output but you should just look for the gateway value.

    I forgot noticed that I used to wifi connection through my laptop. I use adsl modem zyxel 660 without wifi. And I couldnt find where DNS there. I've done this command and DNS was another. This result:

    Great work, that normally means a damaged Ethernet card or a bad cable.

    I have the same problem.

    The cable is fine.

    I tried with 2 different mac minis, same problem.

    It is the mac itself. With my mac pro, works like a charm.

    Sooooooo?? Apple, could you please, take a look on it??

     

    Cheers.
