I assume you have the OS Install CD that came with the Mac. Reinstall the networking portion (if it gives you an option). If not, just reinstall the entire OS. As long you don't do a "clean install" then it will safely drop the new OS right on top of the old one, and you shouldn't really know the difference. (clean install is NOT the default so you shouldn't have to worry about it). However, since you are seeing odd problems, I would run Disk First Aid first at the very least. If you have a better disk checking program, run that too (Tech Tools or whatever). There is a good chance there is some kind of disk corruption that killed the Open Transport drivers. If you don't have a copy of the OS that you can reinstall from let me know off list. (Apple keeps going back and forth with shipping a usable install CD versus just a reimage CD, so I don't know which you have) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
