Hi all,

I can't access a home NAS using an ethernet cable from my iMac. If I try to ping it does ping it ok. If I try to map the drive it doesn't do it. If I remote the cable and use the WIFI it does connect to the NAS without a problem.

I tried the same cable on my MacBook and it does connect to the NAS without a problem.

Is like the ethernet port has something attached to this IP address. I stopped the firewall also and it didn't solve the problem

The change I did was, instead of connect my iMac to a switch it goes now directly to the broadband router.

Any ideas ?
