The initial Apple patch for this problem fails for a variety of machines. See http://www.macintouch.com for some user reports. The patch disabled TCP/IP on my iBook when using a dial-up PPP connection, so I had to remove it. As of the last time I checked, afternoon Dec 29. a revised patch had not appeared. Has anyone checked Apple's non-MacOS machines? I'm not worried much about the Newton I'm writing this on, since it only goes online occasionally on a dialup. But our Airport, which fronts for the iBook when it's at home, is on our house LAN connected to our cable modem. Do the Airports have the same problem? How about MacOS X server and Darwin? -------- Paul J. Schinder NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Code 693 Greenbelt, MD 20770 schinder () leprss gsfc nasa gov
