[ubuntu-za] How to stop the error send

[Wikus]

Hi Bruce ,

Thanx for the ideas. I don't think nr.1 will work. I unplugged my 
network cable completely and left it out for a while.
But upon reconnection the sending just starts by itself again.

Will keep the other too ideas and try them when this happens again.

Thanx

- Wikus
