Hello everyone - I hope someone can help me with this issue. I have already searched the forum here and spent the entire day yesterday "googling" but have not been able to solve my problem (although I HAVE discovered that many people are having the same issue).
I'm running 10.5.8 on my MacBook and changed my ISP yesterday (from DSL to cable). The new connection works fine on my desktop Mac (a G4) but not on the laptop. I'm hard-wired, not wireless. Under Ethernet I get the message "self-assigned IP" which does not allow me to connect to the Internet. I've tried with and without a router. The laptop still works fine if I revert to using my old DSL connection (and the desktop works on both). As I say, I've discovered that lots of people have had the same issue but haven't yet found a solution that works. Can anyone help? Thank you!
