what are "pseudo ttys" and "tcp connections" set to in netconfig in the
tcp/ip properties for the network card? try lowering one or both. If it's
what I think, it will immediately resume working as soon as both values
are under some threshhold that I don't know at the moment. so you can
quickly try and retry changing a value and exiting netconfig, as soon as
the values are small enough netconfig will once again ask the rebuild
questions when you go to exit and you can let it do it and reboot.

If you need those values to be as high as you were trying to get
originally, there are other ways, which someone else will have to weigh in
on. I've managed so far to avoid the issue.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
