This worked for me also, thanks very much. However, just in case anyone doesn't know how to back up the files here are the complete steps:


Open Launchpad -> Other -> Terminal

In the terminal window type in:

cd /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

sudo mv NetworkInterfaces.plist NetworkInterfaces.plist.orig

sudo mv preferences.plist preferences.plist.orig


If prompted for a password when entering the sudo commands, just enter your computer password. When completed reboot your computer.


Thanks again for posting the solution.
