Prevent Apple Remote Desktop 2 / scanner crashes
Authored by: cudaboy_71 on Sep 16, '04 05:32:34PM

GREAT TIMING! i just got ARD2 yestday, installed fine on my desktop. but, my pb kept crashing.

i put it away for the evening, came back today and the solution is posted here on the front page.

for others having trouble, i found an even easier solution:

unplug/turn off your network connections.

for me, the crash occurs after it scans through several pages (on my 12" screen) of IPs. once i turned off airport (via the menu item) there was nothing to scan. after a few seconds, the little 'spinny' icon quit turning and ARD just sat there.

i then, turned the scanner's pulldown from 'local network' to 'network range' and set both values to '0'.

now it works fine. thanks a bunch....saved me an afternoon, im sure, of research.

if it aint broke, break it!
