# Disabling Auto-Connect from Outside the Application

Occasionally, a problem with a remote system that is auto-connected to your project can prevent Smoke from loading. When this happens, the local system will freeze as you try to launch it and a message will appear in the shell indicating which remote system is unreachable. If this occurs, you can kill the application and then temporarily disable auto-connect using the following procedure.

To temporarily disable auto-connect:

1. In a command shell, where you plan to launch the application, type:

   setenv DL_NETWORK_NO_AUTO_REIMPORT

   When you launch the application, the current configuration of auto-connected remote systems is not loaded.

   NoteThe next time you launch the application without using this environment variable, the auto-connected remote system is once again loaded.
