Hi Mike, I saw this repeating message on a neighbours machine. I had pointed out his wireless network was unsecured (I could see it & connect from next door) and he had tried to secure it - unfortunately he had tried to set up security on the mac's network prefs whereas the wireless router was a non-apple router which needed setting up via a browser.
By the time I got the help call, the message was repeating anytime you tried to get into network preferences - requiring the Force-quit. He couldn't remember exactly what he had done when the problem started, but after trying a number of things I eventually cured it by deleting a bunch of network preference files (I don't remember exactly what they were). After deleting the prefs and rebooting everything was OK. Hope that helps. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
