I had the same problems once after fooling around with both netinfo and flat
files alternately. I ultimately resorted to rebuilding my hard-disk. At the
time, I posted a note to comp.sys.next which said that netinfo should have a
way of just saving everything, so that an administrator can play with netinfo
for a while, and if he/she screws up, simply restore the old settings and
reboot. I am now very careful about NetInfo, as I fear the symptoms could
return. Thus, if anyone knew the answer to how to fix this problem, I would
also appreciate the answer.
