Heh. I thought I was so clever.

I was lucky to observe a perfect system shutdown, when the ethernet cable was unplugged. Following through, I did confirm, the system shuts down correctly, when DHCP lease is released, just before the shutdown or reboot.
The next step was to separate the Microsoft Networking client and sharing from TCP/IP, while leaving just the NetBeui for file sharing. TCP/IP stack is still available for Internet access, while file sharing is done just in the LAN through NetBeui. The system seems to power down and reboot correctly, now.
Strange, but effective.
Don't get me wrong, both of us implicating the same thing nearly a decade apart says something I guess. Sfor's 'separating' TCP/IP from the protocol would probably not leave you with 'Your network is not complete' messages though. Although,
technically that shouldn't be happening when I yank the shit out. I guess it's one of those 'feature, not a bug' things.
