It would be really nice if the powerbook could be set to automatically
use the dial-up TCP/IP config during the day so the user can get to the
internet, then switch to ethernet at night to allow network backup. Can
Location manager do that?
I've found that the sky's the limit when it comes to Location Manager and
AppleScript, so I'm sure it is possible to automate this process. How? I'm
not the person to ask that...
WISH LIST ITEM: Put an "advanced prefs" section in the retro client,
where you can force it not to do those lookups at certain times of day.
Or let this be administered at the server.
I've logged your suggestion.

Subject: Re: Powerbook dials internet once an hour?
since this behavior only started after I installed the retro client, I
suspect the retro client.
This powerbook rarely if ever leaves its spot on the LAN. Until I showed
up to install Retrospect, they weren't using any TCP/IP-based network
services over ethernet, just classic a'talk file sharing.

The Retrospect Client will check its network connection every one hour. If
your connection is a dial-up connection, this means it will try to dial out.
That's why I recommended using Location Manager to switch between extension
sets...
This one-hour interval is up from a ten-second interval with the 4.0 client.

I can't resist a good whack on a dead horse...
I don't think I saw anybody mention "web sharing" as a possible source of
mystery ip connections... along with file sharing over IP, NTP lookups from
datetime, and unchecking "load only when needed" in the tcp/ip cdev. If
none of these are culprits, a test with the Mac OS only init set might find
another 3rd party init at fault...
