What's happening is that the Network pane is comparing its stored settings against the live settings currently running (that were updated by the DHCP client) - and complaining that there's a difference. Locking things will make that complaint go away. Dumb bug.> Ooooh wow! Thank you, I did this and I'm able to get into my Quicksilver's Network prefs pane without that PITA dialog box. :-D <Did the drive spin down on the QS?> Ummmm, how would I be able to tell if it had? Would it be a good idea to reboot both the Mini and the Quicksilver to "reset" all this stuff? Also, how come I still don't have Network in my QS's sidebars even though I do in my Mini's?) <Tip: While the drive is mounted, make an alias of it. Then you can remount it simply by double-clicking that alias, without having to go into the Networks pane and waiting for it to refresh.> Presuming I can ever get it to remount on the Mini, I will. Think I'll try it with the "other" QS HD (which I never unmounted), though. If I have the aliases, then I only need those and can unmount the "real" ones?
