Connecting the Macbook to the router by RJ 45 I am unable to get a DHCP address, but I get an 169.x.x.x address. I have tried to manually set the IP, subnet and router as well as dns but still no luck in getting network access. The router is no filtering any address, it's an open LAN.
I get a 169.x.x.x address instead when selelcting DHCP. When putting in the manual ip, MAC OS is unable to get a connection as well. There is a link light and I have swapped cables. Why is it that all the PC"s can get an IP address but the mac cannot??
