>>>Any 2300 Duoistas having trouble with OS9 and using the internet? To make a month-long story short (and this is the short version), I have done everything recommended by Apple service; upgraded my GV modem ROM drive and updated Open Transport but nothing has changed the problem. I can connect to my internet provider; successfully log in and connect at a decent speed of 49330bps. There is an initial surge of information which dies when nothing responds. Both the browser and the e-mail windows remain blank and no data comes through. I can reach Apple's test 1-(800) site and can successfully download the page. Apple says that means it is the provider's problem and not the software. The provider says it has an imac and a 6200 working fine with OS9 on their set-up and if they are working fine then it is either my problem or Apple's software. Apple says that means nothing as 2300 is different from the other machines previously mentioned (even though the 6200 use the same 603 chip). The provider says that is b.s. Apple has thrown up their hands and said 'not their problem'....the provider has done the same and I'm in the middle looking at a system I've bought that I can't use if I want to connect to the internet. Clean install or system upgrade from OS6....tried both with same result. I've installed only the system and the software for the modem and run only the extensions necessary to be on the internet....nothing after login. I'm sending this with OS 8.6 and no problem so there is nothing wrong with my configuration. >>>>What's the real story????
