for the life of me i cannot find the answer.
fairly new to OS X so it may be just something i have to put up with until jaguar (or am i an idiot) . . .
Prob. When I connect to my ISP it works fine. when i dissconnect or get dissconnected and then try to reconnect (using either the pull down menu or internet connect) the system hangs for a good few minutes (sometimes a spinning disk; other times just the pointer.) i can move my mouse but nothing else is responsive. if i click a menu or key a command it won't appear until the system becomes active again. sometimes them modem will connect during this time and othertimes it won't. if it doesn't, it usually will connect if i try again immeadiately.
this is getting very annoying. the only work around i have found is to restart the system which takes just about as long as waiting for the system to become responsive. i've checked Apple's Knowledge Base and haven't found anything close to this scenario. i found a few old posts on maccentral's forums, but they had no solution either.
has anyone experienced this with any successful solution? All software is up to date and the system runs very clean and efficiently otherwise. this only seems to happen on my DP450. My daughters iMac runs smoothly.
i know there's a few of you on here that actually know what you're doing. i would be greatful for your help. thanx guys
