That's probably a problem for your Mac.
What does "it wasn't giving me internet access" mean.
Is "it" the Mac or our router?
oh okay, so all I should have to do is plug in the ethernet cord and I should have access, right? for some reason as soon as I plug into the ethernet cord I lose internet access.
Just making sure I don't have to switch another setting on my router preferences in order to use the ethernet connection.
