Prevent Apple Remote Desktop 2 / scanner crashes
Authored by: flyingtrout on Sep 15, '04 11:38:01AM

Another method to get out of this 'loop' (once you have set ARD to scanning it will always crash on startup once you've tried to do network scanning) is to create a Network Preference Location with all Port Settings disabled. I call mine 'No Network'. Use this Network Location and ARD should start up cleanly. You can then 'pull' the Scanner out of the left pane in ARD if you don't need it, otherwise you may accidently activate it again; you can create a "New Scanner" from the File Menu.

This Apple Tec Doc:
( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108010 )
indicates "This happens if the total number of active network interfaces you have defined across all of your locations in the Network preference pane exceeds 29". I have found that decreasing your network ports interfaces below 29 does not resolve this issue. Possibly eliminating all interfaces completely or pulling the Pref File, /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist and starting over with the Network Settings will work...althought I have not tried this.

I do not need to use network scanning, although many folks who use ARD do; this problem as of yet has not been resolved by Apple!
