[QUOTE="MLJRG, post: 991425, member: 142380"] Hello, I'm new to Mac (OSX 10.5.8). Yesterday, I tried to delete a folder named "~" which was mistakenly created in my home directory. As such, I ran the command "rm -R ~" in the Terminal from the home directory, but unfortunately this command cleaned my home directory instead of only the folder named "~" inside of it. The issue is that since then I cannot connect to the internet using my ethernet interface. I've tried to create another account, run Network diagnostics, add a new ethernet location, but none of this works. Can you help me? Regards, Mário [/QUOTE]
