HotShot Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 The only problem I have (aside from my sound, but that's another thread) is that my computer insists on making a new entry for my network card everytime I do anything in the network control section. I click "Apply Now" I get another entry. I leave and come back, I get another entry. I restart my computer, I get another entry. I'm up to about 40 of them now. They all say "PCI Ethernet". My internet works fine, so I guess it's not that big of a problem. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

jbjonas Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 wow, that's weird... Well at least it's still working. Do you have your network configs set to DHCP or manual with a static IP?

HotShot Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 It's DHCP, but I have my router set to always give my MAC address the same IP. As far as OSX is concerned, it's pure DHCP. The grayed-out entries you see are leftovers from when I was trying to get my wireless card working.

jbjonas Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Wow, got me. I suppose you can try assigning it a static address (just use the same one that the router gives out as DHCP) and see if that helps. It's worth the two minutes it takes to try it... also: I like your avatar. Is it from SimCity 2000 or something?

HotShot Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Setting a static IP didn't fix it, but it didn't harm it, either. I guess I'll just let it be, unless someone has any other suggestions. I'm not sure where my avatar came from. A friend of my sent it to me a few years back, and I've hung onto it ever since. It's always reminded me of SimCity as well, maybe that's where it came from.
