Dradis Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) I have recently installed 10.7.3 on my machine. This is a clean install using a DSDT from tonymac's DSDT data base. All of my hardware is working, including my ethernet card and wifi. I can connect to the internet, but I cannot see other macs on the network. I also tried to add my iPhone as an iTunes remote and it does not show up in the left side panel. I am currently connected by wifi and cannot connect by ethernet because of the physical location. My wifi card is an atheros pci-e and I am using the stock IO80211Family.kext with an added device ID. I am using the Lynx2macs driver for my built in realtec 8111E gigabit on the Asus P8P67-m Pro. I had previously installed 10.7.3 using the ######## DSDT free method. Both ways I sometimes see my MPB but usually don't. Even when i do see it, it is unable to connect and often disappears soon after. Im assuming its a problem with my wifi driver or card since that seems to be the common denominator. Here's a screenshot of my wifi info if it helps.

everdone Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Look at your boot.plist in Extra folder. You must have EthernetBuiltIn=Yes included as a Key or as a boot flag for sharing or connection to AppsStore to function.

Dradis Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Thanks for the info, everdone. I checked the boot.plist, but EthernetBuiltIn=Yes is already there. I have no problems connecting to AppStore, iCloud, or anything on the internet. Its only local networking that isn't working.

everdone Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Is Sharing turned on? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279662-cant-connect-to-networked-computers-in-lion-please-help/#findComment-1825702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dradis Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Yes, sharing is turned on. I am very familiar with how to set up network sharing between macs, and I have no problems with the other macs/hacks in the house. Just this one. The other macs randomly show up in my network (as seen on this machine), but then disappear when i try to connect. Also, iTunes on this mac does not see my iPhone as a potential remote. I don't believe these symptoms could be caused by a setting simply being turned off. It seems more like a problem with this wifi card since it only happens on this machine. If I can find a long enough ethernet cable i will try a wired connection to see if it works any better, but for the moment I don't have one.

everdone Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I agree, wifi in the hack world can be iffy. If you haven't yet done so, try setting the IP manually for the wifi connection. I have some wifi adapters that will not connect via DHCP when using a protected wireless router connection. I only mentioned Sharing being on because I have found myself forgetting to turn it on and wondering why other elements on my network won't show up!

Dradis Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Still the same symptoms with manual IP. I am able to connect to the wifi and internet just fine. Its only local networking that has any problems. Right now when i go to network 0 computers are listed. I have one other hack and one real mac in the house. Both show up sporadically throughout the day. Usually not at the same time. iTunes just saw my iPhone as a remote long enough to enter the passcode, but now its gone again. This is really bizarre. I have no problems at all with internet, iCloud, etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279662-cant-connect-to-networked-computers-in-lion-please-help/#findComment-1825721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dradis Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Well, now the other two are having the same issue, so its beginning to look more like a network/router issue. I think i'll put this problem on hold for now...
