long story...but i need work-around for time being, using N/S 4.79 ONLY to access my online broker. have G4 ti book, OS 9.1, 400 MHz. never had problem d/l n/s ....ever! what is going on??? "mac HD: desktop folder comm 4.79 complete us bin, could not be opened because unknown error occured. save to disk first then open file". i still try to open browser and get..."network error while n/s receiving data. network error: socket is not connected". then....."n/s unable to create network socket connection, etc...." both socket layers are checked in n/s prefs. i NEED 128 ENCRYPTION. broker will only support n/s 4.79 for OS 9.1.

THIS IS ANSWER FROM NETSCAPE SITE:Netscape was unable to create a network socket connection. There may be insufficient system resources or the network may be down.

Answer:

The most common reason for the "Netscape was unable to create a network socket connection" error message is that the dialer you are using is 16 bit (for Windows 3.1) but the version of Navigator or Communicator that you have is 32 bit (for Windows 95). This is common if you are using an older version of Navigator, AOL, or other 3rd party dialers.

Windows 95 and 98 comes with its own dialer program called "Dial-up Networking". Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for help setting it up to connect to their service. You can use Dial-up Networking with any of the versions of Netscape.

I KNOW THIS ADDRESSES WINDOWS, be assured i am downloading 4.79 FOR MAC. what do i do...what does this mean??

BTW....my regularly used browser is N/S 7.02, also have on the HD the original default 4.75 browser which came loaded with machine when new. and IE 5.1.7 for MAC. thanks for help, Kurt

Have you simply tried downloading Netscape 4.79 for Mac again?

and install over the current installation of Netscape 4.79?

When you expect free help from someone it's best not to be rude to them or else you might find out they're no longer willing to help you at all.
