I literary cannot find Library/Preferences/System Configuration? HELP!!

Click on the Apple cion that is on the far left of the menu bar then select System Preferences from the menu that drops down. When the System Preferences wwindow opens, click of the Network icon- 3rd row, 4th icon. This will open a window that you use to configure your network settings.

HTH

You have to Show all files to see ALL the folders and files on your drive. By Default OS X hides some of them.

Use this teminal command to show all folder and files.

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

When you are done if you want to hide the normally hidden folder and files use the same command but change the YES to NO (All Caps)

You might have to type in your user password when executing this command and when you type in your passwprd it will not show on screen in terminal. So don't think it's not working. And you may have to hit the Enter/Return key after typing in your password. I don't remember.

In Finder, select Go to Folder... from the Go menu. Enter ~/Library into the box that opens. The user Library folder will open. You'll find the files you are looking for in the Preferences folder.

That will get him his Users/Username Library folder but not the ROOT Library folder.

For that you type in /Library

For the System Library folder it woulr be /System/Library

It's just earier to Show All File then everything is shown.

Did you then open a Finder Window?

If not do that.

Yeah I just executed that commnad myself and you don't need to enter your password. So open a Finder Window and all your folder and files will be there.

The files he specified are .plist files for user specific settings and are in the user Library. Take a look on your machine and let me know if you find those in your root Lib.

It is not a hidden directory. It is not in user prefs. Click on Finder on dock. Click on Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences. System Configuration folder resides in there.

Good Luck

I did a search on my system for Networkinterface.plist ad there is no such file. I also use a Star *, which is a Wildcard, as the first character and still no file with that name.

Get EasyFind and use that to search for these files on your system. Once you download and install EasyFind and run it put a checkmark in the Include area for Invisible Files & Folder. Thaty will make the program search everywhere. Then type in the names of those files. The right click on the name and select Reveal In Finder.

Glad you got it figured out. But this should not happen. So it may be a good idea to fond out why this is happening.

There are a number of config files that are not listed in a Spotlight search for understandable reasons.

Click on desktop and then Command F. Click on "Kind" then "Other" at the bottom. In the dropdown tick System Files. Are you searching in this way? I brought up 5 Configuration folders throughout the system. I knew which one you wanted from previous discussions.

Networkinterface.plist doesn't come up cause it is actually called Networkinterfaces.plist, with an "s".
