CptanPanic Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I have installed uphuck 1.3 and 1.4 but neither of them can I open network properties under system properties. When I do the whole application crashes. I thought it was because of not detecting my network card, but if I do ioreg -v I see it under ethernet. So what gives and how can I Fix this?

DrP Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Me too! same problem! Everytime I open network icon in system preferences I get an unexpected crash. I forgot to save the log but from memory it was kernel related access violation or something. Perhaps I'll try installing again tonight but with different patch and/or the different kernel extensions for a 10.4.8 version which I saw on the install dvd. Any ideas welcome. DrP.

mgamber Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I noticed the same thing. Sometimes it crashes and sometimes it doesn't. For what it's worth, try installing the OS again. I found that if it crashed this time, it wouldn't crash next time. Or try another version. I didn't notice the problem with 10.4.8 or the new 10.4.10 AMD version.

CptanPanic Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 I found the fix is to remove the Network properties settings files, reboot and let the network settings application recreate them.

DrP Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I tried re-installing the OS and tried installing 10.4.8 version of what ever there was. But still no go. Network icon in preferences crashes every single time. I have been running JaS 10.4.8 on my laptop with out fault. But never installed the JaS 10.4.9 update as it was sse3 only, and my laptop is sse2. CptanPanic - You say to delete the network properties files. Could you point me to where these are to save me some time tonight when I get home from work. Would be appreciated heaps! thanks. Apart from the network, everything in uphuck version 1.4i works sweet! I did notice however that my network card is detected as en2 where as in JaS releases it is detected as en0. Don't know if that helps at all. DrP.

Anawrahta Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I was having this problem....I seemed to have solved it, here is my solution. Go into Internet Connect app, and then create a PPTP VPN connection, can be all fake info, just put it in there, and save it and quit. You should now be able to open Network control panel and see your fake vpn connection there, as well as be able to configure your LAN and other connections. Hope this helps.
