I opened the network preferences window and clicked on the ethernet as the network to use. Now it gives me the "flip down" window that tells me the the network applications have changed. I click on the "ok" button, the window flips up, and then flips down again.
I remember this problem. I was too out of touch to know it was a well- known bug, and I'm sorry I didn't know about Andy's solution then, because it drove me absolutely nuts. (Had to time that click *precisely* in between flip-downs to make the Network window close, like an annoying website background pop-up window!) A very unseemly problem for the likes of Mac OS X, and all the more disturbing because of it. That flip-down window caused me to dread and eventually avoid the Network preference pane. I'm not even sure why it eventually went away - I think the solution might have been a by- product of reconfiguring my internet connection with my ISP's wireless router software. Nothing I did on purpose, anyway. And I *still* think the Network preference pane in Tiger is a drag and mostly useless (yes, I hear you, I know that I would be obligated to use it if I was doing anything at all sophisticated with networking - I use "useless" in a sour grapes sense). I'm anxious to see if Leopard offers something a little more friendly.
