My first thought...... I'm going to keep it to myself so as not to
offend you or your friend.

LMS shouldn't be checking for network connections, IMHO. It is a server
process. If it is pre-configured to scan at a specific time, far better
that you make sure that an external drive is powered and available, or
that the network is connected and the external share is available. I
need to think about this some more. Maybe an enhancement to LMS could be
that, it checks for the presence of a "DO_NOT_SCAN" file, in the root of
any folders it is configured to scan, if present, abort the scan. Then
you create that file on the underlying file system, that your external
drive/share is going to be mounted to. If the drive/share is mounted LMS
won't see the file, if it isn't, LMS will.
