Hi,



I really need to start using my iDisk, which I have never done before. I have installed the plugin, and when I go to the page, and click the button to mount the disk, it stalls for a minute, then frees up, but nothing has happended. I have tried using Network Browser, which just says that it cannot find idisk.apple.com, or whatever the address is. I am using an iBook 466, with OS 9.2.2, 192Mb of RAM, and on Imperial College, London's network (UK). I don't think that there is a firewall, as this is the first thing that has not worked for me (all downloads, etc..)



Any ideas?



Thanks,



David

    This advice works in OS X but not OS 9 or earlier. You don't say which browser you tried. Recently Apple is using some strange Java code which is only understood by internet exporer. I used to be able to use other browswers but recently not. There has been some discussion about this (heated) on Apple's support boards.

    I think there must just be a firewall here at my university. Any ideas how I can access my iDisk through it?
