Hey ppl,

have been using os x fine in 10.2 and now 10.3.1 - upgraded to 10.3.2 and it was fine... but now, for some reason I can connect to the 'net and it shows "time connected" - yet I am NOT connected...

The mail shows all my mailboxes as offline... fire, other internet apps keep telling me they cannot establish an internet connection even though I am looking at the screen and it's showing "time connected"...

Any ideas? Thank you in advance...

Well, in the end I did an archive and install and reverted back to 10.3... installed the adsl modem drivers and all is fine...

The problem seems to be, if drivers are installed from 10.3.2 upwards... if you DO NOT install at 10.3.1 or below the modem still "dials out and shows as connected" [with the timer showing length of time connected...]

Yet, when trying any internet app it tells me I have not established a connection...

This was proven with the archive and install... mind you, I guess most of you peeps know the score when it comes to these sort of problems with OS X... just passing on the info...
