On G4 System Preferences, Network, I have a dropdown menu that says that my settings have been altered by another application and won't go away when I click ok, I can't work in the Network preferences and it won't respond to be closed. Have to Force Quit

On G4 Powerbook System Preferences, Network, have a dropdown menu that says this has been configured by another application. when press OK it keeps coming on & can't work in System Preferences. It won't even respond to Quit System Preferences and I have to Force Quit to close System Pref.

Any ideas?

PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.2.x) , G4

I did BDAqua's suggestion

To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
