When I open the Help Viewer, it immediately wants to connect to a local server on my home network. When I cancel the request, it goes on to work fine. When I let it connect to the file server it works fine too. The puzzle is why it would need to connect to another computer. This happened on my iBook G4, and the problem seems to have ported over to my new MacBook. It doesn’t happen on my other Macs. Dave Meilstrup _____________________ dave at blackrockmac.com
