Hi,

I'm running an iMac with OS/9. I just connected it to the internet via a network using Windows XP ICS. Something peculiar happens when I try accessing web pages as some load very quickly, others not at all.

www.cnn.com, www.msn.com will load fairly quickly. other URLs load very slowly, not at all, or very quickly seemingly randomly. In the status bar, the message "Sending Request" flashes, but often the connection stalls.

I know this isn't a hardware problem--I connected a laptop (XP) using the same cable and had no problems. Any ideas on why the internet connection is so unstable and unreliable on the iMac? Thanks
