Stop "AFP connection status" window

How do I stop the "AFP connection status" from looking for networked machines that aren't networked?

When I close PEAK LE 5.2, it won't close because it brings up a window saying, "AFP connection status looking for..." and gives 10.0.1.3 or some similar address -- even when I haven't had any network connections. It's been doing it for months and my only "solution" is to Force Quit the application.

I just started to use anoher app, JuhOS X, and when it starts up, it shows the same window even though I know it's never been networked to any other computer so there can't be any pref files floating around which would require a network connection.

I have an iMac G5 running OS 10.4.8.

All Googling turns up are other people having the same problem (but with various other apps like Photoshop) but no solutions.
Any ideas?

I replied once to my question saying that it's been resolved. But if the answer got lost somehow, here's how it got fixed:

When the second app (JuhOS X) started bringing up the "AFP connection status" window, it sometimes read as a server number (like "10.0.1.4") but occasionally as a particular cd ("MacAddict 86").

I hadn't had the MacAddict cd in my machine for minths but found it and mounted it in hopes there'd be some connection. I went through the index and deleted every single app or doc that was on the MacAddict cd AND my iMac. (Not many.) I deleted any prefs I could find, as well, associated with that cd.

The "AFP connection" window QUIT appearing -- not only when I ran JuhOS X, but when I quit Bias Peak -- and THAT had been hanging up Bias Peak FOR A YEAR.

But not any more. So, SOMETHING on that cd had got connected to the AFP function in my iMac and came up when either of these apps ran.

Thanks for assisting me in this INSANE problem!
