Oct 26, 2015 11:26 AM in response to deano_Hby dianeoforegon,Normally, you look in your User's Library for a corrupt preference, but I suspect the network file could be at the root level.
Macintosh HD Root folders
Applications
Library <---this is the root Library
System > Library (best to stay out of this Library)
Users > Library <-----this is your User's Library
Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or if it's your User's folder that contains the problem.
CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups.
Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu bar
Log into new User
Do you still see the issue?
If yes, then the problem is with your base files.
If no, then the problem is in your User's folder.
If the problem is in your User's folder, try deleting com.apple.systempreferences in your User's Library.
If the problem is at the base level try deleting files in the root Library/Preferences folder with networkextension in the name. I have three. Not sure what files are created in 10.5.
/Preferences/com.apple.networkextension.cache.plist
Preferences/com.apple.networkextension.necp.plist
/Preferences/com.apple.networkextension.plist
Hope this helps!
