[QUOTE="bolonsoft, post: 751007, member: 69343"] Recently, a wireless network I use changed its WEP password. Now, every time I try to go online, I am told that I am not connected to the Internet. To remedy this, I go to System Preferences:Network:Configure. There, when I select the network (which displays as WEP managed), I click on the Edit button, and it consistently shows that the password is "None" in the Wireless Security pane. I click there and, from the dropdown menu, select WEP Password. Every time I do so, it shows the old password! So, I enter the new one, click on "OK" then "Apply Now" and I can get online. Because System Preferences will not retain the new password, I have assumed that the Preference file is corrupted. In an attempt to fix this, I have, over time, deleted every Preference file that seems related: username:Library:Preferences:com.apple.internetconfig.plist username:Library:Preferences:com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist username:Library:Preferences:com.apple.internetconnect.plist username:Library:Preferences:com.apple.preference.internet.plist Still, the problem persists. What am I missing? (FYI, using OSX 10.4.11 on a last generation PowerBook). [/QUOTE]
