I have the same issue - just installed 3.9 for the first time on a G5 yesterday. cant ping ip's on my lan. can ping localhost if i set a static ipadress. dhcp cant obtain ip address (netstat reports 0.0.0.0) have tried the above recommendations to no avail - please help!
Sinple things to check, not meant in a sarcastic way:
- In network settings, double check the radio button next to eth0 - it should be checked. Easy to miss.
- have you tried a different cable? I've fallen foul of that old chestnut before.
- Can you connect using a different machine at the same location/cable?
If even the router won't ping back, that suggests no network connections at all. Loopback is (as you probably know) a dummy host on the same machine, so not indicative of anything beyond 'The tcp stack is running and i have an ip address'.
- eth0 is checked in network interfaces
- cable is fine - i can boot into OSX 10.5.8 and networking works.
