Excellent John. I'm pleased the "Easy Fix" worked for you.
Have you set up your new ADSL2 Network and have it working without any  
problems?


Cheers,
Ronni

Thank you so much for your help.

I am delighted to report that your "easy fix" worked.
Will certainly keep your instructions close by in case the problem  
reoccurs.


Thanks again..

Hello John,

An easy fix (if it works), worth trying first, is:

Open System Preferences . Security
Check "Require password to unlock each secure system preference".  
If this doesn't solve the problem or the problem returns.


Try this:
Make sure you write down all your Network Settings as you may have  
to re-configure your Network after deleting these files below.


In the Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ folder delete the  
following:


com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist
preferences.plist
com.apple.nat.plist

All these files will regenerate as necessary when the associated  
system features are accessed.
If you're using Airport or Internet Sharing you'll have to re- 
establish the appropriate settings, because these will have been  
lost when the preferences files are removed.


This should permanently correct the problem.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: "Your network settings have been changed ......."

[Michael Hawkins]

John,

I frequently have the same problem running Tiger 10.4.11 when trying to
connect using 3mobile.

I have wondered whether it is because my G3 PowerBook 400 is 9 years old and
still on its first set of batteries - I have to reset date and time
every-time I start the computer.

Sometimes the message goes away if I restart, and sometimes it does not
appear if I connect to the internet by using system preferences (>network
>connect) rather than the menu bar, but there was one time in which I had to
restart by using another username and re-setting preferences under that name
and then restarting in my preferred user name.

I know this hasn't helped much but at least now you know you're not an
orphan!

Regards,

Michael Hawkins.
