What motherboard do you have? Is the LAN controller marvell or nforce or what?

 

On my AMD machine, this helped me but it may be irrelevant to you (don't know what motherboard you have):

Go into the BIOS settings and disable 1394 (firewire).

[Donw35]

well, based on your list of the network card, it looks like your network see the router 192.168.1.1 and your machine was assigned an ip address of 192.168.1.2

 

open teminal and type ping 192.168.1.1

 

If it response with something like Reply from 192.168.1.1: Bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=244

 

then you are connect to your router and the next issue would be DNS problems

How do i check this out ? And what will disabling firewire in bios do?

Donw35 i got this response from terminal:

PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data

bytes64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.741 ms64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=2.551 ms64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.426 ms64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=1.283 ms64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=1.133 ms64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=1.976 ms

And what will disabling firewire in bios do?

Well, everyone I know with the A8N32 SLI Deluxe (including myself) had extremely slow ethernet until disabling 1394. To be honest I'm not entirely sure why this makes a difference, but its worth a try

Not working.Any other ideas?

[Donw35]

ok, you are connected to your network based on your ping results, next try this...

 

in terminal ping www.apple.com

 

if that does not work then your problem is a DNS issue. if your are using a cable or dsl line then your DNS would be assigned when you turn on your cable moben and router.

 

you have reset your calble/dsl modem and router right ?

[Skyper]

Yes tried resetting it displays on the router that the internet is connected but doesent work in osx? Any more ideas plz?
