After upgrading to Yosemite, my ethernet word connection quit working. Error says "Either the cable for Ethernet is not plugged in or the device at the other end is not responding." This happened once before after one of the dot updates to Mavericks. A subsequent update caused it to start working again. Any ideas?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Your solution worked for me Alxmo - thank you!!!
1. Open Network Preferences
2. In the Locations drop down box, select "Edit Locations..."
3. Create a new location
4. Remove the ethernet device, click apply
- note, the first time I tried this it didn't work, I think I missed clicking apply
5. Add a new ethernet device, click apply
Wait. it's takes a second or two, but you should get a message that the cable is connected, and second or two later an IP address.
Hello,
I can hardly believe it but h11mm1ch43l solutions worked out!
I had to use another name (ethernet 2 i/o ethernet) and it simply connected.
Thanks a ton, I've been spending hours restarting my network over and over again for no result.

Late 2012 Mini - upgraded to Yosemite - and no ethernet connection.
I have tried all solutions on the thread - still looking for a cable connection.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

Same iMac same problem. One exception -- ethernet works with Firefox, and does NOT work with Safari, iTunes, or anything Apple created.
This worked for me
