AirPort...
Authored by: sharumpe on Jun 03, '02 12:40:56PM

Of course, if you're using AirPort you can't do this - there's no way to unplug the network.

I have had this problem MANY times, and, for the most part, the only option is to either wait for an (unspecified) LONG time, or reboot. Neither is a good option, but sometimes time constraints force a reboot.

My favorite scenario would be a Linux-style multiple console setup, where you can hit alt-f1 or some key combo to get a text-based login. Then you would always be able to get in and do whatever is necessary (take down network, kill loginwindow process, etc.).

If you have enabled 'Show Airport status un menu bar' in your Network preferences, there is a "Turn Airport Off" menu available when you click on the signal strength icon...

And remind us all how we turn AirPort off while the screensaver is on!?
