I believe there is a counter in netlib that keeps track of the number of open connections. If you open a socket at the beginning of your program and do something that forces a connection to the network (like for instance a gethostbyname) and leave that socket open until you close your program, you won't keep getting the dialog because the counter will never get to zero.
There may be a caveat. If the system powers down and closes the netlib, you may get errors if you try to manipulate the socket you created because it was closed out from underneath you. So you'll have to trap whatever event you get when the device goes to sleep and close your socket, or prevent the device from going to sleep (which is how I solved the problem).
