How to prevent Answerbook from accessing the network?

How can I prevent Answerbook from looking for answerbooks on the network?

I have a SPARC running Solaris 2.3 with a PPP/modem connection to the Internet.
If I start Answerbook with the PPP connection up, it starts fine.  Usually,
however, I don't have the connection up.  In this case, when I start
Answerbook, it apparently goes looking on the network for answerbooks, and PPP
dials the modem, etc.  This is not what I want.  Of course, I can foil PPP by
turning off the modem (the usual situation), but then Answerbook blocks for
about 2 minutes, presumably until until PPP times out.

So, how can I prevent Answerbook from looking for answerbooks on the network?

Thanks a lot for any help.

1. AnswerBook "Can't open AnswerBook Viewer"

Hello,

I am able to dial in to my workstation  via ppp and redefine the DISPLAY var
to the dynamic IP address that I am given by the company server. Every thing
works fine.
 I am going from Solaris 1.x to Solaris 2.x, and would like to be able to
use AnswerBook. The AnswerBook Navigator comes up ok. But when I select a
topic, I see an error message on my Linux machine that says something to the
effect "Can't open viewer". As the DISPLAY is set to ip:0.0, does the viewer
require another x window something like ip:0.1? Besides this problem, every
thing works great!
 Any ideas, or solutions?

                                         Thanks,
                                         Robert
