Everything was working fine under 10.5.4 on my Mac Pro. Upgraded to 10.5.5 and shared networking no longer gives me an ip address. Changed to Bridged Networking and things are working again. Any ideas? This is the ifconfig -a lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fdfa:565f:73d3:8e4e:21d:4fff:fe48:2624 prefixlen 128 gif0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280 stf0: flags=0<> mtu 1280 fw0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 4078 lladdr 00:1e:52:ff:fe:61:ad:5c media: autoselect <full-duplex> status: inactive supported media: autoselect <full-duplex> en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::21d:4fff:fe48:2624%en0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet 192.168.1.18 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:1d:4f:48:26:24 media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex,flow-control>) status: active supported media: autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,flow-control> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 100baseTX <full-duplex,flow-control> 1000baseT <full-duplex> 1000baseT <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control> en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:1d:4f:48:26:25 media: autoselect status: inactive supported media: autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,flow-control> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 100baseTX <full-duplex,flow-control> 1000baseT <full-duplex> 1000baseT <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control> en7: flags=8822<BROADCAST,SMART,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 54:55:43:44:52:00 media: autoselect status: inactive supported media: <unknown type> Check Point Virtual Network Adapter en2: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::21c:42ff:fe00:0%en2 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x8 inet 169.254.227.218 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 169.254.255.255 ether 00:1c:42:00:00:00 media: autoselect status: active supported media: autoselect en3: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::21c:42ff:fe00:1%en3 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x9 inet 169.254.227.218 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 169.254.255.255 ether 00:1c:42:00:00:01 media: autoselect status: active supported media: autoselect
