All I did was trigger reduced functionality mode on purpose to prove to you
that solitaire and network properties don't need to talk to the network for
reduced function mode to have an effect on them since my claim was that
null routes triggered RF mode.

Now it appears you are doing the flailing..

   So it has nothing to do with null routes and is instead due to your
random flailing and disabling or system services.  I'm glad you finally admitted it.

  Ok so how about this, yesterday at 1:45pm I stopped the software license
  service, today at 1pm, less than 24 hours later solitaire doesn't work,
  control panel doesn't work, network properties doesn't work. It's exactly
  the same as when I had the null routes, the donut spins then nothing. So
  your claims about solitaire not generating network traffic going to
explain
  this?

  I started the software license service and presto like magic everything
  works. Took me all of 2 seconds.
