The home network has been down for a couple weeks due to networking issues. The Mac was having trouble talking to the router and G and I have been taking turns buddy breathing off the ethernet connection. Deadlines and travel have post-poned me getting technical, but yesterday I took the plunge. I can usually get myself out of a technical bind, knowing just enough to get into some hot water, but Mac network preference setting was unknown to me. My networking experience has been only on the PC platform. How do I do ipconfig on a Mac? After a few hours, some tech support and hard resetting the router, I got the network back up. Wifi network is back in the ether.
This means I'm back in my office lair. A cozy room in the house under the front door, half-way under ground. It has most of my favorite things, toys, clothes, computer equipment, files, shoes. It's my den. My secret hideaway in my house. It feels good to be back in here.
The Mac command is actually ifconfig. That's why it didn't work for you. :)
