i have stated the facts. read them again if needs be, they are not that subtle nor nuanced.<br><br>furthermore, this is all quite academic... TCP/IP pref's can, without a shadow of a doubt, become corrupted for any number of reasons... whether one specifies one's ISP DNS numbers in the TCP/IP control panel or not! and now i suppose you'll say you wouldn't argue with that, after you previously stated you weren't here to argue... heh heh<br>¥À¥

No, not the beta on X, which I haven't tried yet, but the paid-for 5 in good old 9.1. In fact, the problem appeared as soon as the upgrade to 5 came out, which was before 9.1 was available. And yes, I trashed the appropriate preference files and fiddled around with the speed of accessing the DNS via the x-settings. No luck, though. Not that I mind using 4.22, you understand, but I really want to find out what's going on!<br><br>And that's true too/--Shakespeare, King Lear

um on your Eudora .. do you have a custom splash?<br>have you ever had the message ... "cannot proceed with installation ...cannot replace DITL"? As I had to do this on install of Eudora 4.3 I think it was..I had to replace the original DITL and Splash before I could go ahead with the install.<br><br>Also have you double checked the TCP/IP options? (don't load unless needed)? <br>and.. have you allocated a specific host file on the G4?<br><br>Open up the shutters on your windows<br>Unlock all the locks upon your doors<br>Brush away the cobwebs from your day-dreams<br>No secrets come between us any more<br>Justin Hayward

Never had a problem installing it and don't have a custom splash either. I've done every permutation of TCP/IP that you can imagine. It just doesn't like my G4, that's all I can figure!<br><br>And that's true too/--Shakespeare, King Lear

ok, i know this may seem completely absurd and not directly relative to any DNS issues... but... have you zapped your NVRAM? i only ask because it seems you have tried everything, and suggest you try that, it does a bit more than a PRAM zap does... i wish i could find the post at MacFixit regarding when and why to zap PRAM/NVRAM, it basically stated that a zap is something of a last resort (not that it is a drastic measure, it is not) and was rather humorous as well... drat. i will search for it yet.<br><br>OH, and zapping the NVRAM differs procedurally from a PRAM zap in that you must shut down the Mac first and then perform the procedure as you would for zapping PRAM (hold down the option, command, P, and R keys as the Mac is starting up and continue to hold them down until you hear three "bong sounds" then let up on the keys... further, some will say only one "bong sound" is needed, some will say four are required, whatever...)<br>~~~<br>"Our civil rights have no dependence upon our religious opinions more than our opinions in physics or geometry." --Thomas Jefferson

heh heh, found it in spite of MacFixit's horribly slow search process (could that server be any slower?), the particular snippet which i was referring to is...<br> <br>HERE<br><br>videlicet:<br><br>1. Zapping the PRAM can help only if it is the possible solution to a problem.<br><br>2. Only if something is the possible solution to a problem, can it help.<br><br>3. Zapping the PRAM can help only if it can help.<br><br>------------------<br>MicroMat Inc<br>Makers of TechTool<br><br><br><br>~~~<br>"Our civil rights have no dependence upon our religious opinions more than our opinions in physics or geometry." --Thomas Jefferson

yoyo52, I guess you've tried trashing your Eudora and Open Transport prefs already? and the OT version you're running is the same on the other boxes? (makes a clutching action) "Straws! Straws! They're everywhere!!"<br><br>

"reset button" on the mobo is called a CUDA reset button, and that is a somewhat drastic measure as it requires you open the case...<br><br>~~~<br>"Our civil rights have no dependence upon our religious opinions more than our opinions in physics or geometry." --Thomas Jefferson
