if anyone knows where i can get the backup files for my internet connect settings, or any of the system preferences that would be extremely helpful

Not 100% sure. I think that it's in /Library/Preferences/. At least when you do an Archive & Install (preserving Users & Networking), that directory is automagically copied back to the file system root.
