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 di

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 premiu

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,

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 thei

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 Gr

I have tried this. Absolutely no matter what I do, I cannot get rid of the “self-assigned IP address” which says it cannot connect to the Internet. Yet, the WiFi connection shows in the status menu with all bars, and says it is on. Christine On Sep 29, 2014, at 11:41 AM, Tim Kilburn wrote:

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

You verified which wifi network you are connecting to? Just want to make sure you aren't accidentally picking up a neighbor's network. Does it have a unique name? There are a lot of wifi networks out there called Linksys or the like. CB On 9/29/14, 10:21 AM, Christine Grassman wrote: Yes, tr

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 the

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 W

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
