Neo Network cannot find netstat, ping, nor my wifi connection

Miscellaneous

When I try to use Neo Network, it acts like it is missing permissions or something. It cannot find the underlying terminal commands (even though I checked in the terminal, and netstat, ping exist.) Nor can it find my wifi connection.

Run Netstat:

Netstat has started…
zsh:1: command not found: netstat
Netstat has encountered an error…

Run Ping:

Ping has started…
zsh:1: command not found: ping
Ping has encountered an error…

Info tab:
Gives me the Hardware Address and the speed, but claims the Link Status is Inactive and has N/A for all transfer stats.

Do netstat and ping work from the Terminal? Do you have any sort of firewall or maybe Little Snitch installed? Where is Network Utility installed?

This sounds like a fundamental probem where the netstat command cannot be found by the shell (zsh).

Can you start a terminal (You can find it in /Applications/Utilities and issue the following command:

which netstat

It should respond with /usr/sbin//netstat.

In terminal:

which netstat
/usr/sbin/netstat

which ping
/sbin/ping

Ping and netstat both work from the terminal.
No firewall, no Little Snitch. Network Utility is in the /Applications folder.

Which macOS version? And do you use an admin or regular user account?

6

Can you provide details of the hardware, like which Mac model are you running it on?
What does your network setup look like?

I connect via wifi to the internet. Not sure what else you might want re network setup.
