Its a problem with passing the TCP/IP stack status back to Classic. It isn't CE that is having the problem, but rather Classic (any Classic internet application will do the same thing). What is happening is, CE (or any other Classic internet app) tries to make an internet connection. This triggers the Classic TCP/IP to start, which in turn attempts a connection, which causes OS X TCP/IP to start and attempt a connection, which causes OS X to dial a connection. What is supposed to happen then is, the dialup connection is made, and the OS X TCP/IP then completes its connection, and passes the data back to Classic's TCP/IP, which passes the data back to Emailer. But that fails. OS X's TCP/IP never passes the data back to Classic, so the Classic TCP/IP connection fails, which in turn causes Emailer to time out its connection and fail. A 2nd attempt works because on the 2nd try, OS X is already connected to the internet, and it properly passes the data back to Classic. This is a bug with Classic/OS X interaction. I don't know if this is fixed in Panther or not. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
