This tip remains for users of older versions of BeOS.<\/i>]<br \/>\nSome users may encounter a bug that leaves the net_server in an ambiguous state if your ISP times you out &#8212; you may find you&#8217;re not able to make a new connection properly. This seems to be an especially pernicious problem for ISDN users.<br \/>\n If this happens, you don&#8217;t have to reboot. First, look at all your network apps to make sure none of them are currently requesting network services. For instance, if you&#8217;ve tried to check your mail and it&#8217;s just sitting there not making the connection, stop it, or quit the mail program.<br \/>\nOpen the Network preferences panel and click the Restart Networking button. Wait a few seconds, close the Network panel, and try your connection again. You should now be able to fire up PPP normally.<br \/>\nAlternatively, you can restart networking from the command line by typing <code>\/boot\/beos\/system\/boot\/Netscript<\/code>. If you have to run Netscript often, you may want to make a symlink to it in <code>\/boot\/home\/config\/bin<\/code> so you just type <code>Netscript<\/code> from any prompt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Editor&#8217;s note: This tip should no longer be necessary in R4.5, as these strange connection bugs seem to have been worked out.
