Its a new one to me, but you are right, it does seem like it is a classic issue. When this happens, what does the TCP/IP control panel in classic say are your current settings. Do they match those in the Network control panel for OS X? If not, can you force an update by bringing down the TCP/IP stack in Classic, and starting it back up again? (Choose UserMode -> Advanced from the Edit Menu, then click the Options button in the TCP/IP control panel, turn off TCP/IP. Close the control Panel, reopen it, then go back and turn TCP/IP on again). If that refreshes it, and gets the current IP info from OS X, then somewhere I have an AppleScript that will automate that. Although you can probably rewrite it faster than I can find it... scratch that, found it, it is still on my web site (although not linked from the pages). You can download it at <http://www.mythtech.net/toggletcp.hqx>. I wrote it for a Mac/NT list I am on, I don't actually use it myself, but IIRC, it works just fine (all it does is turn off TCP/IP, then turn it back on, thereby forcing the OS to rebuild the stack). Running the AppleScript in these instances might be easier than restarting classic. And you should be able to drop it into your Emailer Scripts menu, so you can run it directly from there when needed. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
