Hi Walter,
It is good to hear you are connection instantly as you should to your Ethernet

Hi Ronni and Daniel,
The iMac's ethernet connection has been very stable since I tried a different
router port,
(changing the e/net cable made no difference). Have now observed it since
yesterday. I
immediately get the green connected light after starting or restarting. Even
after long
periods
Hi Walter
Have you tried a different Ethernet cable and/or a different port on the
Modem/Router?
Could be one or both have an issue.
Worth trying another cable and then another Ethernet port on the Modem.
That way you can rule those out as well.
Kind regards

Network.

Hi Ronni,
The renaming issue is resolved, the name no longer changes and is now
iMac-intel.local.
The ethernet connection is still erratic.
After I reset everything and trashed the plist file it connected immediately.
Now, it is unpredictable. When starting the iMac it can be green (connected)
Hi Walter,
Ok, a couple of things to fix here. "The Ethernet has a self-assigned IP
address" issue and "the computer Name and hostname".
It might be best if you disconnect your iMac from both Networks until you do
the steps below please.
So turn OFF WiFi and disconnect your iMac from the Ether
Hi Ronni,
Thank you for your advice.
Have switched off WiFI and the message no longer comes up.
I always thought it was quite acceptable to have both connected at the same
time. I thought it
is able to set the service order by itself without getting confused.
But the reason for having it both
Hi Walter,
First question is: Why are you using Ethernet and WiFi at the same time on the
same computer?
Ethernet and Wifi have 2 different IP addresses.
You can't have the iMac connected to both an Ethernet & Wi-Fi Network at the
