    Hi Folks,

    I’ve got a Mac Pro running Leopard Server that won’t boot up… this happened following an update to 10.5.6. When starting it in verbose mode, I get the error “en0 duplicate IP address 169.254.xxx.xxx sent from address 00:a0:cc:39:bd:e8” repeated, where those x’s in the IP address change from one line to the next. This doesn’t stop.

    Before the OS update, the system wasn’t booting for another reason– the permissions on the root directory were off somehow, and it was trying to run mDNSresponder and wasn’t able to. After that was fixed, the OS update was applied and now nothing works. Is this a network problem or something with Leopard Server? I’m poised to re-install, but I’d rather not if it’s fixable.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Thanks for the response, I forgot to mention before that if I unplug the ethernet cable, it will stall at the same point except the duplicate IP message doesn’t show up.

    How would I clear out the network config? By deleting the com.apple.networkConfig.plist?
