No, it's rebooted. Even with a shutdown -r, when it comes back up, it won't 
respond to ping until I log in once. I rebooted my older TiBook, and when it 
came back up, access was available as expected, so something is weird with 
the iBook. It's as if the network stuff isn't started up until someone logs 
in.
