Anyone have problems with Ethernet not working on Rev A iMac. I can not get this thing up and running on AT&T RoadRunners Cable service. They have the correct Mac Address, but the machine keeps getting a bad IP. Is there a way to test the EtherNet port to check if it is functional or damadged? The OS sees the port, and allows you to slelect it, so one would assume it's functional? I've also tested the line, cable, and network settings. Everything is set up right, what could be the problem?
Also not that it wasn't fully functional under OS9 either. Other machines on the network would show up over appletalk, but they would have problems connecting. I've never used the ethernet port on this machine since we purchased it, so I'm not sure if it ever worked, or this is someting new. I've taken the machine apart to make sure everything was OK, and I found no problems other than a little dust which I blew away with a air canister. I also cleaned the port connectors just incase they were dirty, because there was more dirt in this machine than I expected.
Any thoughts?
