The following solved it for me: - Open "System Preferences" - Open "Network" - In left pane, click to select "USB Ethernet" - Click "Advanced" - Click "Renew DHCP Lease" Fyi, my MBAir ethernet is plugged into an Airport Extreme (N) router, which is connected to a Comcast cable modem I had same problem.

After you've created a new location, simply switching between them should do the trick, but if not, just create yet another one. Not elegant, but it does work.

Welcome to the 21st Century Ryan. We have this thing now called "the Wifi" and it makes your tubes wireless! Ditch the USB ethernet dongle. Get a portable AP. Plug AP into ethertube. Voila. Probably cheaper than a USB ethernet dongle too. Ha! Welcome to the 21st Century Ryan. We have this thing now called “the Wifi” and it makes your tubes wireless! Ditch the USB ethernet dongle.

But if you are looking to unload your old Macbook air for a 'bargain basement, the economy is in tatters, apocolypse-is-coming, selling to your good friend' price, then shoot me an email because I'm your man! :) Sorry, man, I can't help with the dongle issue.
