Just a check: try opening Terminal, and typing "telnet www.apple.com 80", hitting return, waiting a couple of seconds, typing "GET /", and hitting return again. What happens? If everything is working correctly, you should see a large amount of text outputted within a few seconds of you typing the commands.
Cheers, Ben

Does anyone else have problems using any browser other than IE, or is it just me/my router/my ISP? I've gotten along reasonably well with just IE until I installed Panther, where it seems to crash more, and until more sites started not working in IE...
I've tried Netscape, Opera, Camino, Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, iCab, and OmniWeb, always a similar problem. There's a few sites I'm forced to use Camino for, like Gmail, so it's irritating. In all of these browsers, I almost always have to stop-reload-stop-reload-stop-reload a zillion times before any page will load, though for some like Safari and OmniWeb, the first page or two will load, and then nothing else period (for Safari) or nothing else without the stop-reload thing frequently (OmniWeb). iCab works very slightly better than OmniWeb, loads and doesn't load in fits and spurts, though it's lack of a bar at the top window and no preferences place that I can find.
The rest, you're lucky to even load the start page!
This occurs with all Macs connected to this network, wired or wireless, Jaguar or Panther. It does not happen when the same machines are moved to another network using different providers and routers. Changing ISPs is not an option.
Anyone else have this problem? If so, what kind of router/ISP do you use? Is there any sort of setting I have to change that's on by default for all these browsers?
