ummm no. don't reinstall just because this fool says to. research it first before you throw the kitchen sink at it. Try using opendns servers at the router level as my mac was running a bit slow as well and that fixed it for me. But regardless of my sucess, keep tracking the issue online and see what environment you fit into with your problem. Don't go hog wild and reinstall your system unless you find you have no other options available.

two things to consider. There are two different types of Ethernet cables out there. Perhaps you have a one way cable for the second one. To test this, unhook the working cable from the mac that gets internet and then hook that one up to the one that doesn't get it. See if it sees the network after a minute. The other issue might be in the Operating System. You might need to make sure that they are both up to date with all of the latest updates installed. (I know, hard to do with out an internet hook up.)
Lastly, make sure you are plugging in the cable to the right place on the back of the router. Seems silly, but some of the best have accidentally put it into a link plug to connect several routers rather than an actual Ethernet plug.

If you have high speed internet go to your ISP webpage and do a speed test. If You are paying for say like 10 MEGS and are only pulling 1.2 Megs. It probably is your modem. Your speed will slow down to approx 7.5 behind a router. Also Your ethernet cable might need replacing. might also might try resetting your router. disconnect all power even the cable comming in and reset everything. Hope that helps.

to mount somthing in a mac is basicly cutting it on for use.

For example if you instal a flash drive or an hard drive via an out side connection, The mac will mount it so you can use it.
