When I manually disconnect (by going into Network and shutting off the ethernet connection), it appears to be working fine. Perhaps whatever was affecting me last night was related to the fact that the ethernet connection was still active, still connected to the router, but the internet connection itself was down?
For instance, if I opened Safari last night while the connection was down, it would just sit there and wait for a timeout... but when I opened Safari after disconnecting manually, it instantly says "Not connected to the Internet".
I mean, I have no clue how OOTP is configured to work, but is it possibly seeing an active internet connection on startup, trying to connect to the internet for some reason (maybe to check a license, maybe to see if there's an updated version) and then just never timing out when the connection isn't actually going anywhere?
