make sure you've got the most recent firmware update, and try resetting the pram with techtool, it may be corrupt in some way. re: the networking problems, try trashing the sharing and network preferences and of course the finder preferences in case they're corrupt, the finder preferences in particular seem to get corrupted often and making it rebuild the file fixes a surprising number of things. it that doesn't help i'd definitely suspect the pram battery, but easier and harmless to try trashing the preferences first. also trash the background pref's and anything else that seems related, you can always leave the originals in the trash in case you want to replace them.
