Be sure you are not using any Proxy thing/setting. It can cause such a problem.

Do other machines work?

the network works for any other machine that ever tried to log on to my network and has a pc running on it currently.
The fault is in preverences/ network settings, or this dongles own prefs

Thanks Bob,

answers
1) since 2004 always on eithernet or modem connections.
2) definately mentions 10.3.9 panther It comes up on any search for that system
3) I may have to try this but I'm giving their tech support one more try.

What system/os are you running this with?

Thanks again, ....pbass

Good to know. Time to try something else.

I have run OSes from the days of the GE-210 to present including OS/2, PSOS and too many others over the years. I also did admin for those Digital Equipment microVax running VMS.
