Hi Peter, I tried again with the adaptor. When looking in the "About this Mac" > More Info panel > Thuderbolt, the two ports are noted and one of them shows the adaptor connected. So it has recognised it. Then when I look at Network Preferences panel there are two Thunderbolt entries in the left panel - BOTH have red lights - one says "Thunder...", the other says "thu....bridge". When I go into each one and press the renew DHCP lease I get an open box beneath where it is requiring me to input something (I can't recall what is asked for) - but I didn't know what to put in next anyway. Did you or anyone else have any of these issues and if resolved how? Regards Peter.

I think I had given it at least a minute to 'recognise' the connection. There are two Thunderbolt ports, how do I know which is which in the System Info panel so I can renew the DHCP lease? The Network Preferences panel will tell you which port is active. It will be the only one showing up in the panel, since you won't be connecting both at the same time.
