Does wireless connectivity work properly? Have you checked into frame sizes? Possibly jumbo frames are enabled somewhere... Grasping at straws, but it came to mind.<br><br>-jason<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 21, 2011 at 10:17 PM, Peter King <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:peter.king-H217xnMUJC0sA/PxXw9srA@public.gmane.org">peter.king-H217xnMUJC0sA/PxXw9srA@public.gmane.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
The installation of OS X on a netbook is indeed a hack, but it had been<br>
running smoothly with no problems for over three months before developing<br>
network, umm, issues.<br>
<br>
Tried sudo arp -a and allowing OS X to repopulate: no good, OS X did not<br>
see the router no matter what. Likewise, the router did not "see" the<br>
netbook, at the software level. It *did* correctly detect a link running<br>
at the correct speed, but no more than that.<br>
<br>
The hardware is fine: the ethernet and router talk to one another just fine<br>
if I boot the netbook with Linux (sysresccd on a usb stick). Other computers<br>
connect just fine to the router, and the cable works with them. So it's some<br>
little configuration detail in OS X that's gotten wedged, and OS X does not<br>
in general allow or encourage you to unwedge things. Not using it myself (I<br>
only maintain/troubleshoot for my family), I don't know the answer. Very<br>
puzzling.<br>
