Hi again Bill,
I just went through my Client files again Re: Wi-Fi issues and step 2 & 3 - you
might find these files in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
--
2. From the OS X Finder, hit Command+Shift+G and enter the following path:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
3. Within this folder locate and select the following files:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.eapolclient.plist
com.apple.IPConfiguration.control.plist
com.apple.nat.plist
com.apple.network.eapolclient.configuration.plist
com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist
preferences.plist
Then follow Steps 4 - 5 & 6 below.
Cheers,
Ronni
