The system network settings are stored in the /library/preferences folder on your hard drove (not the one in your home directory). The name and location within that folder changes slightly based on the OS version, but finding that .plist file and dragging it to the desktop, then rebooting will give you a 'clean slate' network setting. IF your system is currently set to get it's IP address and such from the router it should get all the necessary stuff automatically. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
