Ethernet fails to get IP from DHCP - but only in one location
I have a MacBook Pro with Retina Screen, about 3 months old. For the past six weeks I have been happily attaching myself to the wired Ethernet network here, by DHCP. Then, about 10 days ago, this stopped working. I did two unusual things at that time:
- I installed VMWare Fusion to test something
- I went to my wife’s office to use their internet and tried and failed to set up a proxy service to get online there.
I have got rid of all the VMware stuff - following their instructions for manual removal and tried new locations and deleting and re-enabling services in the Network Prefs. Still the same - a self-assigned IP address. I have also removed all the proxy information
I have searched these (and other forums) and tried everything suggested.
Any thoughts?
I'm running 10.9.4 and all is up to date.
