Internet Connect

I upgraded to 10.0.4 this weekend! :cool: The good part is, the ppp disconnect problem is gone. :D The bad thing is, I had an inordniate number of dns-lookup failures. :( I'm not yet sure whether this is due to some problem on the ISP's side, but to get things working again, I had to disconnect and reconnect. But at least I finaly got to download _all_ my mail!...

Do NOT compare a G3 with a PIII please !!! There is a way to kill the Finder , there is Force quit...(maybe now you are saying , force quit isn't available when the finder is stuck...well it is...if there is an app open then just move to the app and choose force quit from the apple menu there) , 2 : From the terminal you can kill every process running on the comp.

I agree with the thread starter. I have used OS X extensively on a G3 powerbook 266, and now on a new iBook 500. I have also used Windows 2000 on a PIII/550, and here are my somewhat objective reasons why Windows 2000 is better (as much as I hate to admit it...): 1- OSX is painfully slow.

Than I've problem with Internet Connect

you can't change all the icons, the icon for mail.app for instance or for internet connect can't be changed, as it consists of various different icons depending on whether you're online or not, whether you've got mail or not etc... ...

Internet Connect now connects as it did before, But now, the apps can actually use the connection. I'm happily typing this post on my 733 with dialup right now! ...

I have recently moved. I had my G4/733 hooked up to a cable modem at my old place. I am currently waiting for my DSL equipment to be delivered so in the meantime I decided to set up a dialup connection. No problem, I thought, as I've been using my PB G3 with dialup in OS X since day 1. I set up my 733 with the same settings as my PowerBook, used the same phone cord, same...

I have recently aquired my first mac, and it came with OS9 and OSx installed on the partitined hard disk. As you can see, I can connect to the internet well with OS9.1, in fact I rate it over the PC after only three days usage... ...

RacerX - where did you get the hierarchical menus dockling from? Looks like pretty much all I need to get OSX set up the same as my old 8.5 PB1400 setup (well, that and an Internet Connect dockling). Unlike a lot of other people, it would seem, I don't miss the Apple Menu at all - I used Control Strip, with a handy little module called Handyman to launch/control all my...
