Classic keeps losing WiFi Internet connection; OS X connection fine

2004-12-03 Thread Charles Meyerson
Graphite iBook SE, running latest version of Jaguar. When connected to
our home wireless network -- either an original AirPort or a Netgear
WGR614 -- OS X software works flawlessly with the WiFi signal and the
greater Internet beyond.

But Classic-based programs (including Outlook Express, IE and printing
functions) loses the WiFi connection unpredictably -- sometimes within
a few minutes of connection, sometimes much longer. Only way to
restore connection is to restart Classic or the whole computer
altogether. And then the connection may again disappear quickly.

Any suggestions for getting Classic to stay connected -- at least as
well as OS X?

Thanks.

CM

Sorry, but I must correct myself. Meant latest version of PANTHER, not Jaguar.

Very strange, OS X provides the network access, Classic just uses the 
connection through OS X.  Are you running 9.2.2?  Best I can think of 
is to re-install Classic.
