Awhile back I had issues with Mac Halo crashing. I found out what was to blame and removed it...now the problem has resurfaced and have no idea why. Nothing is listed in the CrashReporter so I'm up a creek without a paddle.

Putting aside not knowing WHY it was crashing, I figured I'd at least make it so I could SSH into my Mac when it crashed and kill it from there. (As the crash disables everything except the mouse, not that it can click on anything)

However, when I put on the Remote Login for my Mac, it's IP address has -s instead of .s. eg. 168-0-1-2.tpgi.com.au. I figure that's why I can't SSH into it, but either way, I can't. Could I get any insight into getting SSH working? Or another way to diagnose crashing/hanging of applications? Or even something that can tell me in more detail than the Activity Monitor can, of what's actually running. Maybe something that shouldn't be.

Any help will be appreciated.
