Hello -

I'm experiencing an annoyance, and I'm real new at this. Every time I wake
the machine (a G5 running OS 10.2.8) a window pops up. It says it's from
Internet Connect, and includes the icon of that application. The message is
that it's unable to open the communication device.

My cable connection works fine. My dial-up connection works fine - after I
dial into it. I have a Bluetooth module installed, but I see this whether
that module is turned on or off. Internet Connect isn't open and I can't
find any running processes that I immediately associate with it.

Does anyone 1) know why this is happening and 2) how to make it stop?

The only contribution I have is that after sleep, if I don't wait several
seconds before trying to get mail or contacting a URL I get a 'beep' signifying
it's not ready. Do you have someting set to connect immediately after waking
from sleep? I'm on 10.2.6 though.with a G4

Typically, I'd have an e-mail client and a browser open. I'll have to see
what happens if I shut them down before putting the machine to sleep.

Just make sure the email client isn't set to get mail automatically. I leave
mine running all the time. I just have to remember to give it a few seconds
before getting my email if it's been asleep.

It's taken a bit of experimenting and I'm still not 100% confident, but this
appears to have solved it. I'm using Entourage. From the Entourage menu,
Tools, Schedules, I picked "Fetch Mail" and edited it. There was an option,
which was unchecked, to only fetch when connected. Since I checked it, the
Internet Connect warning hasn't reappeared.

I have no clue why there would be an option to only fetch mail while you're
connected, of course. But it seems to have worked. Thanks.
