Hey Sean!
Do you actually think that you have total control over your
BeOS?
Maybe you should first configure your network settings.
BTW there is a bunch of evil code in the BeOS network stacks:
----snip----
Problem:
It is possible to crash the BeOS networking process.
Discussion:
The BeOS networking stack crashes when certain malformed packets
are sent to it. This document explains two such packets. The
first is an IP packet with the protocol field set to TCP. If the
IP length field is set to be shorter than 40, it will crash the
networking process on reception. Similarly, an IP packet with
protocol field set to UDP with an IP length of less than 28 also
crashes the stack. The lengths 40 and 28 correspond with the
minimum sizes of the IP and TCP headers, and the IP and UDP headers
respectively.
Because the networking stack is a seperate process in BeOS, it may
be easily restarted after it crashes.
A bug report has been filed with Be and assigned the bug number of
20000405-18674. Be has marked the bug as "Will Not Fix" with the
comment "The entire networking system will be replaced soon."

har har har...
Maybe you should use Linux Mandrake!

Frank
