The wierdest thing is that you can access mbnanetaccess.com from Mozilla under Linux but you can't do so from Mozilla/Windows! How thoughtful of them! They realise there is no IE on Linux and hence they will allow Mozilla but where there's IE available, use IE!

Java under Windows right? Go to your jre/plugins/ns600... directory which gets created when you install the Java plugin. You need to copy some dll files from tehre into the Mozilla/plugins directory. Right now I just can't remember the names of those files but I belive there are 3-4 files. See if you can find them. Search this newsgroup for previous postings in which someone has mentioned the filenames. I don't know how but on Windows whenever I open a png or a .mov file, quicktime pops up. So there is a way to get it working. I'm just not sure what I did to get it to work. Look into your ns4 plugins directory. See if you see any quicktime plugins and try copying them over to mozilla/plugins. Pratik.
