hmulders Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi recently I build my first mac based on below config: Gigabyte GA-Z77N-WiFi Motherboard; Intel Core i7-3770 3.4Ghz LGA1155 Qaud core; TX650 Power supply; EVGA GeForce GTX650 SC 1GB Graphics card; Corsair Vengeance DDR3, 1600-16GB Kit (2x 8GB) Sandisk Extreme 240 GB SSD DSDT for the Motherboard used (F2) Mountain Lion from App store installed Info how to build gathered form another site. In the first few days the mac was working without any issues but suddenly I did not get internet connection. looking in the networksettings that where set to configure Ipv4 Via DHCP the ip address was far out of the in house ip range. Is was in the order of 165.254.{censored}.{censored} and subnetmasking was changed to 255.255.0.0 I could not ping to the router. other computer in house work always without any issues Power down and up sometimes fix it but also some times several start ups don't help. I tried different ports on the hub and a different hub. Still not stable I tried different network drivers and performed a cold start several times! Works fine some days and gets flakky again. On the other site no solution found but noticed that others face the same issue. Does anyone here face the same isue or is this a known issue with this particular Gigabyte board? Thanks a lot in advance for help or suggestions Best regards Hans Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285601-network-issue-with-my-first-build/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmulders Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Sorry forgot to mention. It is the on board Network port, actually both ports face the same issue. WIFI is not working at all but I was aware of that before I started the build. Anyhow wireless is of no use for me, need fast (1GB Speed) due to NAS and Photoshop work. the PCI slot is occupied by the graphic card so no option to install an extra ethernet card.

hmulders Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 I tried to copy it to the system/library/extensions folder but comes up with an error that it cannot be installed. Can it be that this kext is not compatible with Mountain Lion, or am I doing something wrong here?

iFIRE Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 copy? no, you need backup first your kexts and delete from S/L/E, now use App KextWizard for install the new kext, repairPermissions/Rebuild caches with KW and reboot Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285601-network-issue-with-my-first-build/#findComment-1880214 Share on other sites More sharing options...
