This sounds like a problem that I've been having. This is what I heard from Wolfram: We are currently working on a fix to this problem. The problem resides in the AppleTalk network. Their is no exact date when we will have a patch available. We will email you as soon as there is a fix. We apologize for any inconveniences this problem has caused. In the meantime, a simple workaround is to disable the AppleTalk network before you start Mathematica and start a kernel evaluation. Then enable the AppleTalk network. This can all be done through the Control Strip that comes with 8.5 or through the Chooser. Ned
