GarethRamsay Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 If anyone could help, I would be so grateful! I have an Abit AV8 motherboard with on-board Giga-bit ethernet. This is not recognised and will not work so I have put in an old Network card - Allied Telesyn AT2700TX - and MacOSX sees the card, configures it as a built in Ethernet card and everything seems fine... until I try to access either the network or Internet - then nothing. The network settings have a green light, it says I have an IP address and that everythign is fine. I can't think what to do. Is there something that would make this card work? It seems the operating system thinks it shoudl work!

GarethRamsay Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 I've now tried this with a different card, one that the HCL says should work out of the box and I have exactly the same problem If I ping my router I get nothing, even though the green light is on and it OSX says I have a connction. It feels so close! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10875-built-in-ethernet-recognised-no-internet/#findComment-68630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
numberonekiwi Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 What version of IONetworking Family.kext are you using I was having trouble with the 10.4.4 kext file so copying IONetworking Family.kext from 10.4.3 install seemed to work - had to do this again when instaaled 10.4.5 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10875-built-in-ethernet-recognised-no-internet/#findComment-68894 Share on other sites More sharing options...

l33t Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 how do you copy IONetworkingFamily.kext from the 10.4.3 dvd? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10875-built-in-ethernet-recognised-no-internet/#findComment-68982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRamsay Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 I'm using 10.4.3 kext and running 10.4.3. I have now tried four different NICs, one on-board, and three PCI cards. The onboard one comes up red and will not work; it is grayed-out in the network config screen. The other three all do the same - they are recognized by the OS, they can be configured manualy and they appear to work - but don't. If I try to configure by DHCP, they come up with a 169. address instead of 10. address and an incorrect subnet too. They only come up with this after restarting System Preferences. If I hit Renew Lease while in the settings I get nothing. I cannot ping my router either. Weird.

Bug Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 When this first happened to me, I tried all that copying and gave up. No matter which version of the IONetworking kext I used it still didn't work. So then, after updating to 10.4.5, I loaded the drive in VMWARE. I checked out the pref pane, it worked in VMWARE! Then I reboot native (no VMWARE) and now it's working in 10.4.5. Strange, but worth a try for you guys...
