The only explanation that corresponds to the symptoms that you are describing is that there is a server installation on one machine in the 10.10.0.x subnet and all the other machines have workstation installations. The first time OOo is run on a workstation, it installs files in the user's directory and the process looks like a standalone installation on a Windows machine. The symptoms you describe all point to a problem with the server installation.

If you haven't digested the contents of Chapter 4 of the OOo Setup Guide, that is a good place to begin to understand installation on a network or a multi-user OS such as Linux. You will find the guide at
http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/index.html
The guide is also bundled with each download release and I believe it is on the CD as well.

When you move a computer from 10.10.0.x to 10.10.2.x, there is no OOo problem.

That certainly isn't an answer I was expecting. It is, indeed, weird behavior. However, just because network configuration wasn't intentionally changed doesn't rule out the possibility that a change occurred.


Are you certain that all machines on the 10.10.0.x subnet will not start OOo? What happens if one is connected to the other subnet? What happens if OOo is re-installed on one of the computers where it has failed?

As for your question about OOo trying to connect to another system on startup, unless you're using a client/server architecture which you say isn't the case, I don't believe that happens.

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

Each Mandrake computer runs OpenOffice from its harddisk. That means there 
isn't any OpenOffice server or client.

Does OpenOffice try to connect somewhere when it's starting?

You don't say when this behavior started. That is, has it always been this way or did it begin after some change to the network, update to the OS, or other?


That doesn't stop me from making a wild guess that the problem is with your network and not OpenOffice. Specifically, I suspect you are using a server / workstations installation and that the OOo server is installed on a computer in the 10.10.2.x subnet. For whatever reason, the workstations on the 10.10.0.x subnet are unable to communicate with the server on the other subnet.
