Are you sure IE was really showing web pages? Or was it just pulling pages from the local cache? It sounds like your dialup connection dropped on the remote end, and the Mac didn't realize it. The Mac thought TCP/IP was still going, so it let Emailer attempt a connection, which promptly found that no connection was there, and so returned the Network Stream error (which is basically Emailer telling you that the connection was dropped for an unknown reason). Under these circumstances, IE would also fail to fetch new web pages, but since IE tends to aggressively load pages from the local cache, it may have simply showed what it had available, and ignored the rest. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
