[QUOTE="Mini_mi, post: 1393792, member: 195249"] Here is a plan. When you buy a computer don't start off by installing scripts that you read about in books! If your system came with 2 Ethernet cards...so what? If they aren't connected to anything..doesn't matter how many are in your system. From what I've ad of your extremely long post, it seems that you have started off by changing the system configuration. As to your user account, if you just set up the one account when you originally start the computer it will be in the administrator group by default unless you change that during setup. I have read the Essentials book you have referenced, but have found most of what it says is NOT essential. I have five Macs in my home and I just use common sense when I set them up, ensure each is backed up and updated regularly. Have had no major problems even with 2 teens in the house. [/QUOTE]
