Windows bug: beast lightmapping fails on bake when LAN is disabled

[j. Matthew VanDevander]

Regardless of the scene setup, Beast will immediately fail when the Bake button is pressed if your LAN connection is disabled through Windows network connections. I don't know for certain, but I would assume that it also doesn't work if the computer does not have a LAN port.

Repro:
Disable your LAN connection through Windows network connections and settings. (Right click -> Disable)
Open a scene in Unity or create a new one that is set up to be light mapped. (I.e. has a few static objects and some lights)
Bring up the lightmapping panel and click bake.

Expected behavior:
The lightmaps are baked as normal

Experienced behavior:
An general error is output to the console, claiming that the settings are wrong in "OnGUI()" and that it is a bug of some sort.

I do apologize if it is inconvenient to report a Windows bug through a Linux bug tracker, but I don't have Internet access on my dev machine and would be unable to report it otherwise. I hope you can make sure the bug gets filed properly on your end.

Thanks and keep up the good work.
