Hi all
Can someone please help me find where the Network prefs are hidden in OSX10.3.5. My system got messed and now I'm having all sorts of troubles getting my Airport network working again cos a friend set it up and I don't know the passwords or settings. It would be a great help if I could copy the TCP/IP and Airport settings across to the new system.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thx
 
Go to the Apple menu --> System Preferences --> Network.
If Airport is not in the list under "Show", then go to "Network Port Configurations" and make sure it is checked there. If it does not appear there, then power off and ensure the Airport card is secure in its slot.
Oh, and if you have ongoing problems with passwords not being stored, go into /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Manager and delete the password entries for your previous network setup.
Of course, if you do lose the password for your Airport network, you can always hard reset the base station. Use a paperclip to press and hold the reset button on the Airport base station until the lights flash (about 5 seconds) and then run Airport Setup Assistant again (Also found in /Applications/Utilities)
 
Sorry for not being more specific. What I really want to do is copy whatever files nessessary from my old System to a new System so when I open up Location/Network Preferences I see all the Location settings from the old system. My friend isn't about anymore to set things up for me and I have lost all the connection phone numbers/passwords/TCP/IP settings when my drive got messed.

Thanks.
