Default Ethernet Not Working... Need Help - 10-31-2008, 01:32 AM

Guys

I noticed yesterday the Ethernet is not working. I don't see this on the NOT WORKING list, so I guess it should be something I haven't read about or some update (kext) I missed.

Can anyone shed some light in here?

Thanks

Works fine.. I turned off airport, plugged in the cat5 cable, went to the network pane in System Pref's, and it said new network found, click apply. So I did, and it works fine. I'm posting from a wired ethernet connection on my 9 right now. And on a side note, it stays working after sleeping.
Are you using the Wind distro? Did I mention that distro doesn't work very well on our computers?

I'm actually seeing a pattern here...

I'm on the MSIWind Distro... so I guess that IS the issue hehe :mrgreen: , I'll be moving to one of the Forum methods tomorrow, period.

Thanks Guys.

I moved to the Type11 Method. Everything works perfectly.
The ethernet works great, currently im connected using it, so its A OK!
I recommend you all Mini 9 owners to apply that one.
