shthap3ns Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Hello everyone, I'm a new user to OS X, so all this is a bit confusing to me. I apologize if I'm asking something wrong here, but I've searched the forums and cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get my ethernet working. I've got a Intel Pro/100 VE ethernet card, works in Windows XP. I installed osx 10.4.6 (JaS) and everything seems to be working except for my audio and ethernet. My computer is a Dell E510. I've read about kext files and Tulip. I have no idea what to do with .kext files, and Tulip requires me to download the xcode developer's tools from the apple site, which I can't do since I don't have internet. In any case, Tulip doesn't seem to support my network card. System Profiler doesn't show a network card under "Hardware" but if I click Network it shows a "Built-in Ethernet" with BSD Device Name en0. Network Diagnostics shows built-in ethernet as "failed", network settings as "failed" along with everything else. In System Preferences, if I go into Network and look at the NEtwork Port Configurations, there is a Built-in Ethernet there but it is grayed out and I cannot check the box to make it active. Is there something I'm missing here? Can someone please explain what I should try or do next? I'd be very grateful. Thanks! shthap3ns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shthap3ns Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 Well, it's amazing what a LITTLE bit more searching can do...after following dscrap's advice on this thread: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?sh...2243&st=220 For those who have this problem, check posts #232 and #233 I was able to get my Ethernet connection up and working. Thanks dscrap! I'm now posting on my Ethernet-enabled Hackintosh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
