hi all,

Everything was working great until a month ago when I went to my aunt's (still at my aunts today) and tried using Ethernet with her modem which is one of those ones that doubles as a router. At my moms house, Ethernet worked fine on my El Cap Lap(top). I tried deleting the alf plist thing and rebooting but no dice. Ethernet connects fine to other computers in the house with the same cord. I switched from DHCP to manual and input everything, and it says "Connected". Great. Now to try Safari. Oops... Upon navigating to any website, the message "You are not connected to the internet" appears. It's worth noting that on automatic DHCP the router section doesn't show anything. I'm pretty sure the Hackintosh is the problem but I'm keeping an open mind that it could be the router/modem, although unlikely. Any help is appreciated.

It's a dell Inspiron 5521 and all was great until that happened. Thanks in advance.

Like on a Windows PC? Only have OS X on the Inspiron. Can confirm Ethernet works fine on other computers - Windows and Lubuntu. Same cord and router and LAN port on router - so its gotta be the Hackintosh. Tested on uncles Windows laptop and my Linux netbook, no issues there.

No. Test on this specific laptop.

Only way I can do that is to boot into a live USB environment of Lubuntu on the Inspiron. I only have OS X on the Hard drive. I'll boot to Lubuntu on USB and report back.

Windows can be downloaded for free and used for a limited time in order to test...

Yeah, but I'm not knowledgeable on how to use it without installing it on my hard drive. I can't stand Winblows. Only use it on other people's computers. Can confirm Ethernet works on the computer in question when booted to a Live USB environment of Lubuntu.
