With the preference file problem, take a look at Preferential Treatment available at http://www.jonn8.com/html/pt.html. It will check the validity of all your plist files.
Ping is also available using the Network Utilities found in the Utilities Folder.
You could also try pinging the Gmail mail server.
Excellent points on both counts, Stephen. Thanks!
