And owners of recent models don't have a choice. They already have at 
least 9.2 installed by default. It should Just Work. Sometimes upgrades 
are not necessarily improvements.

I would just use OS 10.1 all the time, with classic for my normal
applications, except that I can't yet sync to my Palm in OS 10.1.

Therefore, I am sometimes using 9.2.2, and connect to the Net. However, I
have a choice, and mostly don't.

Now that's interesting, because I had the same experience. I have a
university connection as well as the commercial ISP, so when I switched to
the University account, all was well. I'm interested if you find out what is
happening.

I'm afraid I can't shed any light on the problem for you, but I have had 
the same experience. I solved it, but not satisfactorily in my opinion.

A client who has recently purchased a new iMac called me to help her 
with her Internet connection. The machine came with 9.2 installed. I got 
email working, but IE would perform exactly as you describe: it would 
connect to the first few URLs specified, but forever after would come up 
with the "Server Not Specified" error. Disconnecting and reconnecting 
would resolve the problem, but again only for the first few URLs. Not a 
terrific solution.

Her ISP (Webtec) provided me with DNS addresses, but even this didn't 
help. I was down to considering a system re-install, until I thought of 
connecting to my ISP on her machine. Problem solved. All the URLs which 
would not work before suddenly started working, all the time.

I still don't know what the problem is, but it seems to be clearly 
ISP-related. Now that I've heard of someone else having the same 
problem, I feel more disposed to following it through. I had put it down 
to a glitch with Webtec, but obviously there's something broader going 
on here.

Hi

I'm not trying to preach here (and others may have a more immediate solution
to your problem) but my understanding of OS 9 upgrades beyond 9.1 is that
they are primarily for Classic compatibility and optimisation for OS X.

If you're not using this version of OS 9 for Classic (OSX ) I'd wonder why
the upgrade unless your Mac shipped with a version of 9.2x.

Perhaps other members of the list can enlighten further on this.

Don't know if this is the your problem, but it may very well be.

Problems with IE 5 after upgrade to OS 9.22

[DEREK]

Hi, I've just upgraded to OS 9.22.
But now my Interent Explorer is giving me problems after the upgrade.

I can't surf beyond the first website I go to after logging on, the message
"The specified server could not be found" keeps popping out.

The same message pops up after I click any link on the first website, but
the funny thing is I can still surf within the first website, not onto other
websites. I can't even get connected to the ICQ server.

Can someone tell me what's the problem and possible a solution to rectify
the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Derek
