I just purchased a wireless router, and switched it out on my network. However, I could not get the X1000 to go online. I then replaced the original router, and even copied the old netinterface from my backup partition, still cannot get online. I'm getting a "network is not available" error. Other machines on the same switch can get online. I moved the cord from one of these machines to the X1000, same issue. I checked the network card and it was seated. Any ideas what happened?

Thank you!

If you start Sys:Prefs/Internet, what settings does it show in the following tabs: Interfaces, Routes (inc Default Gateway Address), and Name Resolution. (Hosts might also be relevant.)

Under Interfaces:
Name: RTL8139
Device: rtl8139.device
Unit/Port : 0
Type: unknown
Config: DHCP

Routes :
Default Gateway : 255.255.255.0

Name Resolution is empty

Hosts:
IP addr: 127.1
Name: localhost
Alias : localhost.my.domain

I also checked my Backup Boot partition which could still go online. The Default Gateway there was blank. I removed that, and it seems to work.

Thank you much!!!

Yes, the 255.255.255.0 part was completely wrong. By leaving it blank it should automatically find the correct setting using DHCP.

Edited to say fixed.
