Can you be a little more specific? Please supply as many details you can such as comp type, os 9.?, Java version, connection type & what your prob is & any particular details that might help us to help u to solve it. Explain what you do in detail & what happens. My 1st suggestion is to update to the latest Java for os9: for 9.2.2 that's http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120209 & for other os9's: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75097 LW runs on Java & Java is an imperfect softw. The mac version has always had some issues.
