At 7:06 PM +0000 1/30/09, Andy posted: A Macbook connects happily via airport through a netgear router/modem but a G4 desktop connected via ethernet gets a self assigned ip address connected to the the same router. If I connect the macbook or another computer using the same ethernet cable to the same router, they connect happily. All configurations are using DHCP. Is this likely to be the ethernet port on the G4 faulty or the system on the G4 messed up? Or something else? Renewing the DHCP lease on the G4 doesn't resolve the problem. Both Macs running 10.4.11.
What should I try next? Hook the G4 direct to the modem. If it pulls an IP address, it's your settings.
