If you're referring to the Network item in the Finder window sidebar, you can make it go away by dragging it out of the sidebar. It should go POOF after you do this. The Network icon in the Computer view can not be removed or ejected.

Maybe you're using an older version of Mac OS X than 10.3.5? I have experienced this both with Jaguar and older versions of Panther. I have no idea what it means either.

i have just meesed around and upgraded my security on the ae (wep personal and closed network ect)

There are UNIX command-line utilities that can do this for you - I'm probably not aware of all of them. I know the tcpdump utility will tell you which IP addresses you're sending packets to/receiving packets from (you'll need to use it with sudo since tcpdump requires root access to use). If you want information on tcpdump, type (at a Terminal shell prompt):

man tcpdump

Similarly, if you want to learn about sudo:

man sudo

I know what you're talking about… I used to get it in 10.3.4. It's a [semi]-recognised bug. Don't know how to solve it. It's probably not any user configuration, as at that point I was working in a default account. Tell Apple: www.apple.com/macosx/feedback.
