I don't think my Internet problems were 8.6 related as I know some people running 8.6 that aren't having the same issues... I'm pretty sure it was related to the IP stack... I had fooled with it for a little while but couldn't get it going... Didn't bother me so much as my 3400 really isn't a primary machine. It was easy for me to reinstall OS9 and that did take care of my problem. Since I did the fresh 8.6 install myself initially too, I'm skeptical that if I went back to 8.6 using the same CD's and whatnot, my problem would return...
