Hi Kris; Lack of response finally drove me to Google "Kicker.bundle". Your description is more detailed than what I gathered from the Google citations, but what I found was enough that I restored the file. I'll check the permissions later, but I think they are probably OK. [Created a directory, moved file to the 'NEW' directory, deleted original. To restore, drag back to original location.] > Kicker.bundle is a necessary System component, when you moved it, you > may have screwed up it's ownership and permissions, and it may not > function properly now.

Evidently there is something in my system, MDD dual 1.25, 2GB RAM, that is generating spurious indications of 'Network' activity/ or lack thereof . Which is triggering the pass thru the 'Kicker.bundle' --- more detective work.
