mountain lion ethernet not working mac pro 2010

You guys have way too much time on your hands....do you guys even know each other?

Mart30lon, lets review the facts:

You started this thread about a problem with a 2010 mac pro and how mountain lion didnt support ethernet drivers for your machine.

Less than a month later Apple rectified the probelm, but due to ADD or for whatever reason, you decided Apple is no good for "Pro" (and i use the term loosely) users like yourself and you switched to windows.

The only question left on anyones minds still reading this worthless thread (and honestly,the mods should have closed it 2 pages ago when someone stated the problem is solved with the 8.2 update) is why are you still here posting?

We get the fact the top London production houses are switching to windows becuase apple no longer cares about the pro segment and how big of a factor you were in getting them to swtich. Im sure Apples board of directors are holding a special meeting about that as I type this. Your talent is wasted with graphics design, you should seriously consider working for Microsoft to help them get back that market share they keep losing to Apple.

For the rest of us, it seems the problem with teaming with the mac pro's has been resolved with the 10.8.2 update and the lack of posting in this thread seems to indicate that there is no longer any problems.

Now go enjoy your windows machine and leave us non-pro users to ourselves. kk, thx! bye!

..hey guys just to keep this thread focused...my Ethernet worked for approximately 36 hours...with no problem...and now it is back to "cable unplugged" - so it was possibly premature that I stated that 10.8.2 fixed it as we are back to square one. The WiFi works perfectly though.....

I don't think that it is a coincidence that it worked for that amount of time immediately after the update.....

I tried installing that SMBup program, installed it with all its components that it then downloaded and I still have the same problem... Can you give me a step by step on what I have to do to allow my Ethernet to work on my iMac 27" mid 2011.....thanks......😊 is there something I have to do after it installs...

You know what they say Mart30lon, as soon as you resort to name calling you have lost the argument.

Your trying to help people here? Really? All i see is apple bashing with nothing helpful, but either way I could care less. Im moving on now, im sure if you hang out in this thread long enough everyone will see how awesome you as well as underpaid, and from the fact you took the time to write 2 posts to reply to me shows that you are really worked up about your ego. Dont be mad bro!, im sure you still have some friends left that will sit at the pub and listen to your intellectual masterbation.

Bill,

This might be something you have already tried, and are simple solutions, but are your ethernet settings all on auto and if so, have you tried to set the flow control, speed and duplex manually?

Ok, so I went in to the Hardware settings of the Ethernet and changed the settings to 10basrT/UTP, full-duplex and the ethernet instantly went on to show as "connected" after I pressed apply. Thanks, and I hope this stays connected.

Should you have noticed anything in these connection settings that are wrong please advise, as I am relatively not knowledgeable when it comes to these kinds of specific settings. Thanks "What2be1"!

@mart30lon I'll look in to it if it stops working. At the moment the solution that "What2be1" offered as follows:

"have you tried to set the flow control, speed and duplex manually?"

is currently working.....

thanks everyone....

PS i have one of those from Ebay China that worked on a PC perfectly but didnt work on my iMac. I had already tried that.....

thanks anyway guys for all your input....I'll let you know if it lasts......

Really?????? ***!!! and I got my hopes up.....I'll post it when mine goes off.....

Well then its obviously a software issue that Apple can fix that for some reason have neglected.....

everything worked fine and dandy in 10.7......

So, the verdict - the ethernet stopped yet again. Like you said @mart30lon, this worked for a couple of hours and then stopped. I tried fiddling with the settings and restarting the computer in between and fiddling again, and nothing worked. The whole point is we shoudn't have to be going through things like this just to get something as basic as an ethernet working - that previously worked. They are forcing us to use WiFi ! Why would they do that? You know the conspiracy theorists out there would have a field day with that one.... hahahaha

Anyway, let me know if anything else works...like the thunderbolt adaptor.....also I'm calling Apple.....
