Re: Up half the night trying to change my IP address… Help!!!!
I may have to bite the bullet and get a new computer. In addition to my cracked screen, which doesn’t much bother me, I discovered today that the cable issues at work with our Ethernet connection are actually due to my Ethernet port being cracked and causing loosening. Our tech person discovered this because today I just could not connect. So I suspect that given that the port is part of the hardware, it cannot be replaced. Given everything: waning support and fewer replacement parts for old MacBooks, my cracked screen, the broken Ethernet port, the age of my MacBook, I may have to just dive in and add to my credit card debt . . .

Last night, after upgrading to Mavericks I was showing my WiFi connection but could not connect to the Internet. I tried using Diagnostics and the Assistant, the latter after having deleted the service and inputting information manually. No matter what I did, however, I kept getting a self-assigned IP address. I called my ISP and they told me to call Apple. After work, I did so: 1. Because this was an update, the MacBook was using my key-chain to try to connect, but because the router often changes, the upgraded computer was using old info, and I needed to clear everything out . . . every network I ever joined, and start fresh. 2. After selecting and deleting all services and profiles, I added my WiFi network after finding it in the table of offered networks, putting in the password, and joining. It is now working fine. However, my 13-inch mid-2010 MacBook has only 2GB of memory, and can only be upgraded to 4. It is running horribly slowly, from applications loading to response time when typing. There also continue to be some mini-freezes. The Apple rep told me when I upgrade the memory I will achieve a substantial difference. I have a Genus Bar appointment scheduled for tomorrow, at which I originally believed I would be faced with the decision to replace the battery or get a new computer. Now I am thinking of getting the memory upgrade and trying that on for a while. However, and here comes the question: According to my MacBook specs, I've got 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. In the Apple store, the only and only 4 GB memory module listed says 4 GB 1866 MHz DDR3. Is this doable? If not, what can I do? Thanks to all for the suggestions and support.

Re: Up half the night trying to change my IP address… Help!!!!
While I've never encountered this problem, I can tell you that I have gotten Apple Support to answer my questions before, even without any sort of Apple Care plan or incident charge. If you calmly and clearly explain the problem, they'll usually try to help, especially if you say your ISP knows about the problem but refused to provide support for you.

Re: Up half the night trying to change my IP address… Help!!!!
It sounds like there is some bad interaction between your Mac's DHCP client and your router's DHCP server since your upgrade. If your ISP already knows about it, presumably they already know about it. Do you have control over the router? If it has firmware, you should try to locate the latest version, and upgrade it. If the router is crippled by design because your ISP has control over it, my recommendation would be to buy your own router. You could try setting your IP address manually. In System Preferences, Network, you select your interface, then choose to configure IP manually; if it's not on the main screen, press Advanced and it's there on the TCP/IP tab. You've got to use an IP address and subnet mask compatible with your other devices; pick an IP not likely to be used, like near the end of your range. You could use Google DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) until you learn the addresses of other servers of your ISP, if desired. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Up half the night trying to change my IP address… Help!!!!
Hi. I've already tried the manual route; as stated, all other choices beside DHCP are dimmed, and I don't know why. As for the router, the documentation is not accessible, so I have no clue how to go about updating the firmware. All other devices in the house are connecting just fine, and the WiFi is showing on my status menu as present and on, but there is a self-assigned IP address and it says it cannot connect to the Internet. I cannot figure out how to change this IP address. I cannot erase it. I am at a complete loss.

Re: Up half the night trying to change my IP address… Help!!!!
What have you tried so far? I assume you tried turning the wifi off and back on again? Did you try and renew DHCP Lease (unter the TCP/IP tab in the advanced settings)? Can you get the IP address, subnet mask, router and DNS address from one of your working devices, turn that device off and then manually config that on your Mac's wifi to see if that works?

Re: Up half the night trying to change my IP address… Help!!!!
Hi, What model of Mac are you running? If it has an ethernet port, try plugging it directly into your router with an ethernet cable, then running any software updates you can. I believe that there were some Airport WiFi updates since Mavericks was released that could help with this. If your only choice is WiFi, when you’re in the Network pane of System Preferences, elect the WiFi from the Services Table, then navigate to the Advanced button and press it. Select the TCP/IP tab and change the Connect Using pop-up to “Using DHCP with Manual Address”. You should be able to put an IP in there while leaving the Subnet etc fields alone. If that doesn’t work, you need to look at the TCP and DNS info on one of your working machines, then enter similar info into the totally Manual option within the is same Advanced area. If those options are dimmed, make sure your lock is unlocked so that changes are allowed. HTH.

As for the router, the documentation is not accessible, so I have no clue how to go about updating the firmware. All other devices in the house are connecting just fine, and the WiFi is showing on my status menu as present and on, but there is a self-assigned IP address and it says it cannot connect to the Internet. I cannot figure out how to change this IP address. I cannot erase it. I am at a complete loss.

If your ISP already knows about it, presumably they already know about it. Do you have control over the router? If it has firmware, you should try to locate the latest version, and upgrade it. If the router is crippled by design because your ISP has control over it, my recommendation would be to buy your own router. You could try setting your IP address manually. In System Preferences, Network, you select your interface, then choose to configure IP manually; if it's not on the main screen, press Advanced and it's there on the TCP/IP tab. You've got to use an IP address and subnet mask compatible with your other devices; pick an IP not likely to be used, like near the end of your range. You could use Google DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) until you learn the addresses of other servers of your ISP, if desired. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Up half the night trying to change my IP address… Help!!!!
This bit where you're saying you can't change from DHCP is very interesting. I'd really like to know why that is. Are you quite sure that you can't press Advanced, and then set Configure using to anything besides DHCP? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Up half the night trying to change my IP address… Help!!!!
Hi, I agree Sabahattin. The only time I've seen that sort of issue is when the user doesn't have Admin privileges for changes to the Network pane of System Prefs. Now, if there's an issue with the DHCP service on the router, and the other computers have not been shutdown, they may retain their TCP/IP credentials whereas the MacBook with the new installation lost it's IP and cannot regain it. many home routers only keep DHCP info for about an hour then release it for someone else.

Re: Up half the night trying to change my IP address… Help!!!!
OK, so here's the scoop regarding my Internet conductivity issue after upgrading to Mavericks, followed by a memory upgrade question. Last night, after upgrading to Mavericks I was showing my WiFi connection but could not connect to the Internet. I tried using Diagnostics and the Assistant, the latter after having deleted the service and inputting information manually. No matter what I did, however, I kept getting a self-assigned IP address. I called my ISP and they told me to call Apple. After work, I did so: 1. Because this was an update, the MacBook was using my key-chain to try to connect, but because the router often changes, the upgraded computer was using old info, and I needed to clear everything out . . . every network I ever joined, and start fresh. 2. After selecting and deleting all services and profiles, I added my WiFi network after finding it in the table of offered networks, putting in the password, and joining. It is now working fine. However, my 13-inch mid-2010 MacBook has only 2GB of memory, and can only be upgraded to 4. It is running horribly slowly, from applications loading to response time when typing. There also continue to be some mini-freezes. The Apple rep told me when I upgrade the memory I will achieve a substantial difference. I have a Genus Bar appointment scheduled for tomorrow, at which I originally believed I would be faced with the decision to replace the battery or get a new computer. Now I am thinking of getting the memory upgrade and trying that on for a while. However, and here comes the question: According to my MacBook specs, I've got 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. In the Apple store, the only and only 4 GB memory module listed says 4 GB 1866 MHz DDR3. Is this doable? If not, what can I do? Thanks to all for the suggestions and support.

Re: Up half the night trying to change my IP address… Help!!!!
Glad to hear the network problem is solved. Usually running fast RAM slowly is better than trying to make slow RAM go fast (overclocking). If you are getting the RAM at the store and having the Genius folks install it then you should be in good hands although you'll probably be paying a premium price. A 4GB PC3-8500 1066Mhz 1.5v memory module is about $40-$60 US from newegg.
