Hi Everyone
I feel That I should know the answer to this one but don't. I have
an eMac running Tiger 10.4.11
I am trying to upgrade my modem from ADSL to ADSL 2 and when
selecting "Network" from System Preferences a dialogue box appears
which reads
"Your network settings have been changed by another application."
No matter how many times I click OK it r keeps returning. The only
way to get out of the loop is via "Force Quit"
My question ..... is there an easy fix or must the operating system
be reinstalled.
Or perhaps I should just stay with the old modem.
Thank you for any advice.
Regards
John
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
