hello all
thanks for all the suggestion, i just followed the link below, it suggests:

To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.

yes the strange looping of the error message stopped, i have to see if i can now setup the lan connection to a win-xp laptop
thanks James
