Q: Cannot connect to modem/router with ethernet cable wiFi is fine

My 2014 iMac (Yosemite) will not connect to modem/router using ethernet cable. However, WiFi works well from same router. I have a PC connected to the router and it works. I have reset my router - no luck. I tried changing cable connections to the router - including the PC was using - no luck

.

One potential cause:

 

  1. Used Disk Utility
  2. Clicked First Aid Tab
  3. Then clicked the "Repair Disk Permissions"


About 20 repairs were made. I'm not sure the problem started then - but it might have. If anyone has a suggest on how to re-establish my network connect, please reply.


Thanks In Advance

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
