Question for the Mac addicts amongst you...

[cherry]

For a little while now, my computer has been acting anomalously. (Yes, again.) My free space hasn't been tracking properly -- I have a 27.94 GB capacity, and my computer thinks, at the moment, that I have 6 free. This is less than it should be, and seems to change at random, not adding the amount of things I delete, or just randomly dropping and adding gigs. Odd, but I could deal with it.

Now, my computer cannot run Disk Utility. When I attempt to verify or repair my permissions, it says that it's lost its connection. A third-part permissions repair program freezes up and will not run.

I've run Disk Warrior, and it claims there is nothing wrong with my system.

Now, it's refusing to recognize the presence of an internet connection. (This is being posted from school.) I've checked my connections and the lights on my modem are on, but I've rebooted both my computer and the modem several times, and it's still refusing to recognize the connection.

I don't suppose someone has any suggestions as to what to do, or as to what my problem might be?

...And when I'm sayng file associations, I mean the support files that come with the application, ie: fonts and brushes and etc. Write down each folder's path (like "hard drive/system/library/application support" for instance) before you erase. Then make sure, when you're transferring everything back, to put those folders exactly where they're supposed to go.
