OSX86@an43 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I have several great Hackintosh machines running and have had very little issue until a few days ago. I was poking around my BIOS checking out the overclocking feature the Gigabyte ES2L when I found the SMART LAN thing. Not knowing what it was for sure I hit it. Nothing really happened so I exited and rebooted. Not I have NO limited network connectivity (basically none though). I thought maybe my NIC was bad, but when I booted off of a Knoppix Live CD the lan worked fine. So I figured something was hosed with my RealTek1000 NIC drive. I reinstalled the kext, rebuilt the cache and repaired permissions, etc, but it still didnt work. Next I cleared my CMOS, reset the BIOS back to defaults and tried again but still had no network connectivity. I grabbed a spare drive and rebuilt my entire system knowing that it would get me back online and then I could just migrate all of my {censored} from the original drive, but after a clean install I still had no network. I am at a loss here. Another thing that interested me is that it can see the netwrok partially because if I manually enter an IP Address that is already in use both machines freak out. WTF is that all about? I am at a loss here and really need all your help.
