Easily disable network connections when necessary
Authored by: CaptCosmic on Jun 17, '03 10:25:31AM
On my iBook, since there are times when I'm using it wth no network access, I have created a location called Networkless. This location simply has all of the network interfaces disabled, ethernet, modem, and Airport. With them all disabled, there is no IP address, and no place for connections to go.

Easily disable network connections when necessary

Turning off all the networking interfaces also increases battery life noticably. I have a "Powered Off" location that has no interfaces that I use whenever I'm not at a place where I can get Internet access, including, and especially, on an airplane.
