Hi!
I have a home LAN (3 PCs and 1 Mac) that shares my ADSL connection through a Compex router (Netpassage 15-D) which has a built in firewall. I've set up the router reasonably well and the PCs have no trouble accessing the Internet as neither does the Mac when booted in OS X. But when I boot it in OS 9.2, web (http) does not work! Every browser is simply stalled at the "sending request" stage. Even if I allow ALL TCP/UDP trafiic through my firewall the problem still persists.
If I turn the firewall off (which is not an option for a permament solution) everything is fine (although vournable on the PC side).
Any ideas why the OS9.2 refuses to go throuzgh the firewall..
Oh yes...email seems to work ok..Only the web is a problem (other services are not used on the Mac anyway)...
