Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My Mac Pro will not connect to the internet, but it connects to Wifi via my comcast modem.
the modem was switched out today, but I couldn't connect before that - which is why they came and replaced my modem.
The lights in the Diagnostics window say:
Ethernet: connected
Wifi: connected
ISP: Fail
Internet: Fail
Server: Fail
Any ideas?
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Completely understood, and I'll try to get to it asap. Thank you for your patience and help.
I just wanted to let you know that I had a similar problem as you. My ethernet wasn't working either. What I did to resolve the problem was logging into my router. I noticed that for some reason, the mac book pro was assigning itself an ip that it wasn't supposed to. It had assigned itself an ip address (how, I don't know) starting with 164.x.x.x when it was supposed to be assigned an ip address of something like 192.168.x.x. I believe it had something to do with my mac book pro forgetting that it wasn't using my University's network connection. To resolve the issue I had to change the settings of my router to assign an ip address to the mac address of my nic card. This is more of a band aid solution as it doesn't fix the problem with the mac book itself, but I thought I'd share...
