Strange one!
A few more troubleshooting ideas/questions to add to the pot:
* Can you surf to Ip addresses with IE (versus domain names)?
* Can you telnet to sites (via port 80)? If not, can you telnet to the sites IP address?
* Do you use a proxy of any kind?
* If you use a firewall, what happens when you shut it down?
* try shutting down all applications but IE and try again. Also disable any new services which have been added after the base install, and give it a go.
To me it either sounds like buggy TcpIp drivers, proxy mayham, or dns mischief. If you answer my above questions I might be able to narrow it down.
Well, I don;t use a proxy -> and had already tried disabling firewall upon the advice of CSCGAL -> as well as tried shutting all internet apps down and re-trying IE.
HAdn't tried a straight IP conenction though - will try that tonight.
It doesn't seem as though the apps mentioned are having a hard time connecting and then timing out as it seems that they are not able to connect whatsoever.
The "can't find server" screen is immediate.
Does anyone know if MSN and IE use the same port and HTTP settings to connect?
My guess is that they don't. Mozilla has no problems as well. It is only limited to certain apps. I would guess that the apps that are not connecting all use the same HTTP & FTP protocols.
Sorry about cross-migrating forums. Since I had your attention on this - I thought I would take the plunge.
Anyway, if the file folder you found the references to your keyboard were in the extensions folder - then that was most likely a classic app install and not a true OSX native application. Could be wrong - but 99.99% of the time OSX installs don't touch the OS9 folders. Sometimes, cocoa developers port their applications over with a true OSX Unix base, but a lot have relied on Macs "classic" mode to keep from having to do anymore software development and still market their product ( laziness really ).
That will work fine with some apps, but the classic mode is not a sure fire thing. It is a lot like running Windows 98 on your XP machine through Virtual PC, MOST apps will work fine, but a few just refuse to bend to your will. I have discarded many good OS9 apps because they just wouldn't work in the classic mode and I refused to step back to OS9 being the boot up OS.
Boot into OS9 and your keyboard may work the way it was intended. Stay in classic --- prob not.

I'm confused - what does that have to do with your internet apps?
