This is on a 1999 333mhz G3 w/ two 256 RAM Edge cards....

If I boot in OS9.2.2, and run a web browser (Netscape 4.7 or IE5), it
works just fine. (Believe it or not, if you want just text from
websites, Netscape 4.7 is still the best web browser)

If I boot in OS10.3.4, and run a either of those web browsers in
"classic", it will not load 90% of the URL I enter. For instance if I
type http://www.google.com the status bar says "www.google.com
contacted....waiting for reply" but nothing ever happens.

Is this some sort of TCP/IP problem with the Classic mode? How can I
fix it?

TIA,
GW

You could ... sounds crazy, I know ... use an OS X browser.

I do, normally, but there are certain sites that you can essentially
submarine through by using a browser so old that it ignores all the
latest code telling it what to _DO_, and just view the content, (not the
presentation......the original purpose of HTML).
I have since heard that Classic is known to have TCP/IP limitations,
from a local Mac guy.

If its in OSX, there should be some version of lynx available on the
web that will compile. Lynx doesn't do graphics, but for reading the
content with out the crud, it's the way to go.

Disclaimer: My only Mac is a IIci, so I don't run OSX, however I do run
FreeBSD on an Intel box. If it works on FreeBSD, there should be a
good chance of it working under OSX ... I think.
