[MacDV] Internet Kills Mac Apps

[Mark M.Florida]

But we're talking about Mac OS 9 here -- and if an app tries to access 
the TCP/IP stack and it *thinks* it's there, but it's really not, this 
might cause an app to quit.  Or if the cable modem is fried, who knows 
what kind of crazy new signal paths have been created to wreak havoc 
with network communication.

(to the original poster):

1. Open the TCP/IP control panel

2. Open "User Mode..." from the "Edit" menu

3. Click the "Advanced" button then click "OK" (this will add a new 
"Options" button on the control panel)

4. Click the "Options" button opened up in step 3 and click "Inactive"

5. Close the control panel.

Now try to launch one of the apps and see if it still hangs/crashes.

Maybe that'll help?
