Type " Ethernet" into the search box (this is located either in the task bar or you can right click on the start button) with me they have a choice.both ears have new hearing aid batteries !!! But there's still no official fix for the original adapter (unless you perform the alternative "fixes" as I posted before). So the new updated driver fixed it for my second network adapter.
I got a second network adapter (both Broadcom network adapters had the same issues though). The latest driver from the 5th of August applies for the second network adapter that I have, but will not cover the standard network adapter. However, I am using a second network adapter, which I installed 2 years ago due to earlier connection problems with the standard LAN on Motherboard (Broadcom Network Adapter) for Dell XPS 8300. The later adapter had the Broadcom Windows 10 driver available while the original Dell adapter does not and probably never will.įor people that are having trouble with their Ethernet LAN I wonder if a USB Ethernet Adapter similar to this one would work? I don't think one can get Gigabit speeds on USB 2.0 though.įor me, the problem has been solved. Dotch had two adapters, the original Dell and the one he added later. I was going to take it a step further and cut out any Bonjour Sleep Proxies totally by connecting the computers directly with ethernet, but that caused my Mac to refuse to sleep at all.I believe the driver I linked to solved his problem. It used to do that over the Internet, but now it doesn't, which is my problem. I tried connecting by address to my Mac from a computer on LAN while my Mac was asleep, and it woke up. If you connect directly by the IP address (192.168.1.12 for example), the router must send that straight to that Mac and not through a Bonjour Sleep Proxy (because how would it know to look for a BSP?). It seems like the Bonjour Sleep Proxy would only work if you're connecting via Bonjour to the Mac.
To be honest, I hardly know how Bonjour works, just that it's used to discover Apple devices on a network and that it gives each Mac an alternate hostname that you can use (for example, Bobs-Mac-Pro). Wake on Demand has the advantages of advertising the sleeping Mac's services via Bonjour and responding to pings without waking up the sleeping Mac. The article isn't very clear, but I've seen from a Google search "wake on LAN on Mac" that people think that the setting in Energy Saver enables simple wake on LAN as well.
