Unable to connect to the internet using Ethernet

I have a Mac mini as I try to connect via Ethernet cable to a modem Comcast Arris TG862. I was connected via Wifi without problem (with the exception of the slower speeds). I know that the Ethernet ports on the back of the modem seem to work, since I can listen to my TV, etc. In settings > network Ethernet shows as green and connected and gives me an IP address, but as soon as I turn off Wifi no web page doesn't load.
What I am doing wrong? I thought that it would just connect. On the Ethernet port lights, which I think means data transfer. Otherwise, I need to tell Firefox or Chrome to turn to the Ethernet connection?
Thank you!

The default configuration is to have the WiFi over Ethernet in the Service order.

The order must be set such that the (desired) primary service is at the top of the list and the backup service is below.

If you look at the order of service when it is connected to the network, the higher is the provision of access Internet one (or at least, he thinks Yes).

To set the order, click on the menu of the machine and choose the order of Service. Move Ethernet to the top of the list. This should make it primary unless he loses the connection.

However, it must move up Ethernet and provide a connection when you have turned off the WiFi. When you disable WiFi on the Mac, the Ethernet connection move to the top of the list and show a green connection?

  • Satellite L300D-10U - unable to connect to the internet using LAN and Win XP

    Hi all

    I had a very big problem with my card.
    I can t connect to the internet.
    I searched the forum but without any determination :(

    I did everything. I have checked ipconfig nothing, check the mode safe mode with local network nothing.
    Someone said too
    "(1) once the Ethernet is connected, power of the DSL Modem. Cycle." ("Some Modem picks up the MAC ADDRESS of the network card on where it was previously connected and restarting it redétecte this new")

    How to disable the modem?
    And another question: can someone tell me what works of LAN drivers in Sat L300D-10U on XP?
    I put t even know that :(

    Help me

    Hello

    The Satellite L300D-10U belongs to the series of PSLC0E and it supports the Realtek LAN card.
    LAN driver can be found on the page of Realtek.

    You ask how to disable the modem? I think you mean how to reset modem DSL
    Well, usually your modem should support an ON / OFF button simply turn it off and then turn it back on.

    If you are unable to access the internet then you should first check if your modem is properly configured and that the right data ISP (internet service provider) was used.

    Sorry, but that's all I can say right now I think you should just check your modem settings, make sure that the NIC is properly recognized and connect the model of the laptop using a LAN cable.

Then I opened my Sony ericsson suit and looked for my mobile finds, my mobile and still once he pairs with my cell phone and when he tries to connect with my mobile phone its shows "device cannot be detected, try again." I tried to reconnect, not matching and pairing it several times, but no use.

    I also found one thing, just after it displays "Device cannot be detected," a pop-up message "SEPCSuite.exe has encountered a problem and closes the window with options."

  • Unable to connect to the internet using 32-bit Internet Explorer.

    Original title: 32-bit programs ceased to connect to the internet

    I have Windows 7 Ultima, installed (July 2011).   I'm connected wireless to our home network with a Toshiba Satellite laptop and I am the only affected computer. The problem still exists when I'm wired connected.

    2 days ago my browsers were no longer able to connect to the internet and only MS Update and essential security and browser IE 64-bit was able to connect.  I understand that MS Update and probably anti virus program uses a different port to connect that browsers and have no problem

    Research on the internet, this problem has affected many people, and I wonder if MS is working on a solution.  I suspect that an update changed something in the 32-bit registry.

    I saw an announcement in this forum since February 2011.  Someone has an idea but how to resolve this short of factory restore?  I tried everything that can be done in my opinion.  sigh

The connection to the network Local said there is a disconnected network cable when we open the network settings. Any help would be great... Thank you!

    You can try to uninstall the network card in your device manager, and then restart your computer.

    The computer should detect the original driver is detected and reinstall it at startup.
