May 21, 2011 1:17 PM in response to BDAquaby Noxes,Thank you!
I am REALLY looking forward to seeing a Mac in person!
Also, there is nothing there under anything.
They are ALL blank.

Nothing in there, just a blank white window.

May 21, 2011 2:50 PM in response to Noxesby BDAqua,What ports are shown in Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked?
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Network, what does it show there?

May 21, 2011 3:08 PM in response to BDAquaby Noxes,Network > Network Port Configurations:
1. Built-in Ethernet
2. Internal Modem
3. Built-in FireWire
1 and 3 are checked
In the Network Panel, there is 1 and 3 in the menu. If I click on Built-In Ethernet, it shows some information about it on the bottom.

May 21, 2011 3:27 PM in response to Noxesby BDAqua,Whew, I don't have much of a clue yet, but try this.
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, move these files to the Desktop.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.networkConnect.<12 digit number>.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
(You'll need to Trash the originals of these following ones since move only copies them)
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
Looks like in 10.5.8 on my G5 that these files cover it...
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server.plist
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist
Then reboot once more.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

May 21, 2011 3:44 PM in response to BDAquaby Noxes,Well this sure stinks....
That did not work either.
This is not looking good is it?

May 21, 2011 4:02 PM in response to Noxesby BDAqua,I'm starting to think the Ethernet port is shot.
If you router has Wifi, this might be a cheap solution...

May 21, 2011 4:08 PM in response to BDAquaby Noxes,Would a light be on around the ethernet port if it recognized it?
-
May 21, 2011 4:21 PM in response to Noxesby BDAqua,I don't know, both Ethernet ports are shot on my G5, but does the Router have lights for ethernet connection? Tried the PC's Ethernet cable to be sure it's not that?
Open Console in Utilities, check the System Log for en0 referrences.
