Hello again.
New problem.
MDD 1.42
2 GHz ram
OS 10.5.8
Ethernet connected to a Lynksys WRT160 N router with dd-wrt installed
I upgraded to OS 10.5 in January. Prior to then all was well with my
setup.
Now a new problem has appeared this week. Just about every time I
reboot I loose my ethernet settings. When I open Network preferences
it shows Ethernet Status "Not Connected" and I get the message "A new
ethernet port has been detected" and it labeled ethernet 2.
I can not configure the old port ( I can put in all the info but it
will not connect) although I can configure the new port.
After I configure the new port, I delete the old ethernet setting and
rename the new setting "ethernet" (eliminating the number 2). This
works and I can connect to the internet.
Every time I change the network preferences TimeMachine loses it's
disk settings. I get this error:
Volume at path /Volumes/Brizo does not appear to be the correct backup
volume for this computer. (Cookies do not match)
_CSBackupGetMachineMACAddress - IOServiceGetMatchingServices did not
find an ethernet service with kIOPrimaryInterface true
Backup failed with error: 18
I can't get TimeMachine working again until I delete
NetworkInterfaces.plist.
The last time I also deleted com.apple.network.identification.plist
I have run AppleJack, reset the PMU, Reset the PRAM (not necessarily
in that order)
I have ordered a new DiskWarrior upgrade, but it hasn't arrived yet.
I've searched the Apple support forum and the web and cannot come up
with a solution.
I've been holding off re-installing the system to until I receive my
new DiskWarrior and run that, but maybe I should just bite the bullet
and do an archive and install.
Anyone have similar problems or suggestions?
Nick
