Hi there
I am currently running on the latest version of OS X. I have my MacPro directly connected to my Airport extreme. If i put my computer to sleep and wake it up, it spontaneously does not connect to the internet. I have to unplug airport, and restart my computer to get internet working again
When i go to settings>internet my ethernet has this
Any suggestions as to how I can overcome this problem?
Thank you!

Have you assigned the IP address manually or DHCP? Not an expert.

Try rebooting your Airport Extreme, and/or check how its configured. Your symptoms could be caused by the AE's DHCP server glitching, rather than anything on the Mac Pro side.
Simple question - have you tried a different ethernet cable?

i tried to renew the DHCP Lease but nothing happens. I have not played around with the IP address settings.

I have tried another ethernet cable and the same problem exists. no other computer/ device gets impacted just the MacPro.
I have to reboot Airport Express and restart the computer to get ethernet working again.
I've tried to renew DHCP lease but it does nothing.

If you connect directly to your DSL/cable modem, does it work OK?
As suggested, you should try a static IP address (set it manually in your 192.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x address range).

I've tired connecting it directly and the same issue persists. How do I go about changing the address manually?

Settings | Network | Ethernet, then select the TCP/IP (or address) option. Choose Manual and enter an IP in the range your Airport device uses. You'll also have to manually enter the Subnet Mask (use 254.254.254.0) and Server address (your Airport's IP).
