Re-enable mDNSResponder

I followed the instructions here to disable the mDNSResponder:


http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US


I saved the original .plist file. When I tried to revert to the original I still have no network access.

I deleted the file I had editted and moved the original (copied) back to the original location. Restarted... and nothing. No internet at all.

I tried to manually launch mDNSResponder from Terminal, which also did not help. Terminal returned that it was already loaded.


Any help?

Reverse my steps meaning what? Re-edit the .plist, deleting the added line?



If so, I already deleted that file (the file is exactly like the original, not having the extra line inserted). So should I re-add the line, restart, delete the line, and restart again?



Also, I looked on another machine (that had not been altered). I did not see mDNSResponder listed in the Activity Monitor, I did see launchd though.
