1) 0 packets returned

2) is setting up the modem done on the modem or in syspref/network?

3) i'm still not sure the computer isn't trying to use the original ethernet port (even though I have nothing plugged into it) rather than my new pci card

If your computer is recognizing the new ethernet card, it should show up in Network. The first time you opened Network after installing it, you should have gotten an alert indicating a new port is available. You can still check this by going into Network and, in the Show pop-up, selecting Network Port Configurations. If the additional port isn't listed, try clicking New to see if it's available to be added. If not, the card isn't being recognized.

There was a semi-recent thread with someone else who'd purchased a D-link ethernet card and had a hell of a time getting it to work.

Configuration of the modem is done in Network, usually under the PPPoE section.

See attached for the right button to click.

I'm glad apple is selling a card that's hard to set up
 

ok, i guess this is progress of sorts, sys pref/network shows:

1. external usb modem
2. built-in ethernet
3. firewire

it does not show the new pci ethernet card, any ideas on how to bring that up?

Maybe I'm confused but surely if the so called modem has an IP address it is not, in fact acting as a modem but is really a router. If that's the case you would set up the Mac to talk to the modem (Router) via TCP/IP and then set the modem (Router) to talk to the Internet. PPPOE would be set on the modem (Router). Normally you would access the modem (Router) via a web interface.

I suspect that we probably have a Mac with a hard coded IP address and a modem (Router) that is in a different subnet.

My advice at this point is that we are probably going around in circles. The easiest thing would be to get somebody with knowledge actually in front of the Mac or if that is not possible make sure that everything (including the modem (Router)) is reset to it's default setting.

You probably need to install the driver for the network card. Did it come with a disk?

I don't know which card you have, but this one has drivers online:

Overview and update:
trying to install Qwest hi-speed access for 6 hours over 3 days:


733 quicksilver/ 10.4.4
dsl modem with wireless gateway Actiontec GT701-WG

1. the modem did not show a green ethernet light which I was told signifies an electrical connection, nor would it bring up the qwest server 192.186.0.1 for account setup on a browser.

2. I verified the modem & cord by connecting it to an Imac 600/ 10.2 which produced a green light and brought up the Qwest server on a browser immeadiately.

3. reconnecting the modem to the powermac produced no result again which led me to believe the motherboard ethernet port was dead.

4. I purchased a d-link DFE-530TX+ PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter from Apple and installed it in slot 2.

5. the ethernet card shows a green light and the modem now shows a green light, but I am still not able to connect to the the server or recieve any packets from a Ping.

6. after a dozen reboots trying various other things with sys pref/network the following message appeared:

<<The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/dlkfet.kext“ was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update.>>

7. I deleted the file and reinstalled the driver with the same result, this time immeadiately.

8. Sys profile- show my pci 4 port usb card but DOES NOT show the new pci ethernet card

9. is the mac is not recognising the new ethernet card and if so, what do I do?

Seems like there's a problem with their driver working with 10.4.4. I'd call dlink or bring it back to the Apple store.

Just for clarification.

192.168.0.1 is NOT the Qwest server. A 192.x.x.x address is the internal IP range inside your modem (Class C IP address). 192.168.0.1 is the actual modem or as I believe it should be referred to Router.

Have you actually tried setting your new D-Link card to get an IP from DHCP?
I still think that the possible issue is that your modem (Router) is in a different subnet to your IP range.

You must communicate with your modem (Router) BEFORE you have any hope of getting on the Internet.

Coreydv can't even see the ethernet card, let alone alter its tcp/ip settings.

If I understand, what I as saw on the other computer (borrowed Imac) was a set of webpages programmed into the router that act as a setup so that it can then access the Internet.

And that my quicksilver is not seeing the new pci card, so I can not even access the router.

I don't know why my computer waited 24 hours to reject the pci card drivers. I have a call and an email into D-link, but I am not expectant of a quick response as it is supposed to be 24/7 live support in the first place. If I don't get this settled today, I'm taking the card back.

it must be rather trying at times to find your struggling with a hardware/software problem and an amateur on the other side of the posts; thanks for all the help so far.

On their site, they say it supports "Apple Macintosh 8.6-9.x or 10.1x – 10.2.x" so I'm thinking they know it won't work with 10.3 or 10.4

Products: DFE-530TX+
Operating System: Mac OS 10.4

From your email it seems that you are not able to detect the DFE-530TX+ in the Mac OS 10.4.

RESOLUTION:

The DFE-530TX+ is supported in the following Operating Systems:

Windows 95, 98FE, 98SE, NT, Me, 2000, XP
Macintosh OS 9.x and X (10.x.x)
Novell
Linux
Unix
DOS

You can download all drivers/manuals/Installation Guides from http://support.dlink.com/products/vi...FE%2D530TX%2B#

Unfortunately, the card will not work with the Mac OS 10.4 as the drivers are not supported. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

Thank you for networking with D-Link.

Back to the store...

On the plus side, you should be able to try out the new Macbook Pro while you're there.

I want to thank the forum for its help a week ago.

I returned the Dlink card to Apple and my Dynex-E101 card from Ebay for $10 arrived today.
I installed it and it was recognised immeadiately by 10.4.5.
Configuring the Qwest modem only took a few minutes, so I'm up and running in hi-speed!
