Have you logged on to the router and entered the admin password in Safari?
What router are you using?

640536 2008-02-15 04:27:00 It should be pretty straight forward with Panther, have you logged on to the router in Safari?

I had to to that with my Linksys and Firefox on my iMac with both Orcon and Xtra when I had Xtra

Just enter the Routers ip address into Safaris URL bar and do the admin admin password bit on the router. Same thing goes for Firefox on Mac.

It has just gone online by itself,safari must have had to do something in its software, it took it about 5 minutes.

Safari seems to have detected the router itself and he is now online..thanks anyway..much appreciated.

640538 2008-02-15 04:33:00 Safari just had a v3 upgrade from Apple in the last week and apparently it is pretty fast compared to Safari v2 - it may have been downloading and installing the updates from Apple before it allowed Safari to go online - hence the wait.

The Apple guys have tweaked the khtml coding in Safari a bit more.
