Also, other computer does not have any info in the 'Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains' section. Still, the info (*,local, 169.254/16) continues to appear in the 'Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains' section and my IP address is always a 169.254 number.)Ĭomcast cable modem via direct hardwired Ethernet works fine with my other computer, so not the modem.
Had to go back and retrash all the plist files to have Proxies go back to 'Configure Proxies-Manually'. (I tried removing the info and it would cause the 'Configure Proxies' selection to default to 'Always Use PAC File'. No matter what I do, this info (*,local, 169.254/16) appears in my Network Settings in the Proxies section under 'Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains'. Strangely, this same IP number is similar to info that is in the Proxies section (of Network Settings) under 'Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains'. For my Mac Mini my Network IP Address always has a self-assigned 169.254 number that I cannot change.
