imacken Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I just can't get 'SHARED' to show up in Finder sidebar. I can see 'DEVICES', 'PLACES' and 'SEARCH FOR', but no 'SHARED'. (Yes, it is checked in Preferences!) Anyone else have this issue, or am I missing something?

Also have you turned on file sharing?

I have file sharing switched on, and I load 'Activate Bonjour' at login as per Blackosx's guide. How can I tell if Bonjour is working?

imacken Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Does anyone out of the 80 or so who have viewed this have Bonjour working or see SHARED in Finder sidebar? How can you tell if Bonjour is working or not?

Yes, for my one PC the problem was the network card. Do you have a Realtek NIC? If so, go into the IONetoworking kexts, and remove the RTL plugins. Then install this kext:http://www.psystar.com/opensource/r1000 Reboot and enjour Bonjour.

grendelkhan Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I've got a Realtek 8111B chip on my mobo. Yup, that was the same chip I had on my son's board and that driver above is what I did to fix it. Download and install the R1000 kext from my link above. sudo -s cd /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ mv AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext.old mv AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext.old Make sure to clear out your Extensions.mkext, then reboot. Once I did that everything worked and it booted way way faster.

Once I did that everything worked and it booted way way faster. Didn't work for me. I got an error in the Bonjour script about 'couldn't find en0' and I couldn't connect to the Internet. I deleted the 2 RTL kexts above, and installed the R1000 via Kext Utility. Should the R1000 show up in 'System Profiler' under 'Extensions' if it's loaded OK?

If the R1000 kext has loaded the last thing to try is: rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist reboot and then go into the network preferences and readd the en0 adapter.

grendelkhan Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I also suggest booting in verbose mode and you should see the R1000 ethernet device pop up. You may need to go into network preferences and readd en0.
