Realtek RTL8211CL - Network issues.

Hello guys,
 
I'am looking for driver or fix for my ethernet connection. First of all the current state and what I've done/tried:
 
The situation:
 
After the install, System Preference -> Network show "Ethernet: Connected". Also he got a IP Adress via DHCP, and even shows the Computers running in my network. Not only the Macs, even the Windows Machines too! But, and here comes the problem: I cannot establish any TCP/IP connection. Even in the local network. Showing PCs on the Network is possible, connecting not. A ping to for example google.com will result an "unknown host" error. Even pings to the router, which is btw being detected by System Presences correctly will result a timeout.
A photo to show this a bit better: http://s2.irworks.de/dl/Photo%20832.jpeg 
 
My attempts to fix:

  • Enabled BuiltInEthernet in the boot.plist (No change)
  • Rebooting Router  (No change)
  • Re-adding the Ethernet stuff in System Prefs  (No change)
  • Settings en0 ether MAC address using Terminal  (No change)
  • Installing the nForceLAN.0.64.6.kext  (No change)

My system:
 
AMD Athlon 2x2 250.
AMD Radeon HD 6670
ALiveNF7G-GLAN MainBoard
Giga PHY Realtek RTL8211CL (LAN, Network chipset)
 
I would really appreciate any suggestions.
 
Thank you in advance.

try change DNS Server to this one => Service provider:OpenDNS

OpenDNS free dns server list / IP address:

  • 208.67.222.222
  • 208.67.220.220

try this in the terminal app: sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

 

delete this: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist

I already tried to install the nForceLan 0.64.5.mpkg package. Okay, to be honest it was nForceLan 0.64.6.mpkg, but it should work too. I also visited all of these links before during my research. Sadly none of the accepted solutions worked for me.

Okay, i solved my problem. Found a post on a german forum, which helped. I will translate it for you here:

 

  1. Remove all 3rd party kext's, that you tried. (nForceLan.kext etc.)
  2. Download .zip from here: http://hackintosh-forum.de/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=5729
  3. Navigate your Finder to S/L/E. 
  4. Search for "IONetworkingFamily.kext".
  5. Right click the IONetworkingFamily.kext and select "Show package Contents" -> "Contents" -> "Plugins". 
  6. Delete here the "nvenet.kext" and place into this folder the nForce kext you got from the newly downloaded zip.
  7. Repair Permissions and Rebuild Cache using KextWizard.
  8. Reboot.
  9. Enjoy.
