Found it: this is froma a post there by one of the Newteck guys: If you don't have TCP/IP, you can always disable the hub (which is what initializes TCP/IP) by editing the shortcut for Layout and Modeler in your Start Menu, and place a -0 after the .exe in the Target line for the shortcut. So the target line would read something like: "C:Lightwave 3D 7.0ProgramsLightwav.exe -0" OK sorry, back to the subject. =)
