[G4] Can't Access the Internet Via OS 10.2.3, But can via OS9.2.2

[Ramsey French]

This seems to be an ongoing problem with 10.2.x.  There are a couple of
discussions about it on Apple's board.

Read the first part of this which summarizes the various solutions people
have tried with limited success.  Then follow the link (near the bottom) to
the very large thread on the subject.  Apple acknowledged the problem in the
discussion but offered no solution...
