Thanks for the responses, guys. Actually, Microsoft quit
providing server extensions for the Netscape/iPlanet/Sun
web servers back on Netscape 4.6, so I am not using them.
Your explanation about the security fix that breaks the
extensions sounds exactly what I am experiencing, although
w/o extensions. I wish they would provide a fix for the
fix, but I can't find anything on their site. Thanks for
your input.
