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. -- Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, :::::::::::::::::::::::: Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Fax (618) 9332 0913 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to.
