Easily disable network connections when necessary
Authored by: osxpounder on Jun 17, '03 10:47:24AM

Really? Hmm. I just created a new Location, gave it a manual IP address of all zeros, and told it to use the dialup modem [which isn't even connected, since I work in a bldg w/Ethernet].

I applied the new location--twice, once from the Prefs panel and, after closing that, from the Apple menu--but I am still able to surf this web page, post this message, and use iChat. There must be something more to it than that. Are you sure you're actually disconnected from the network?
