RE: mozilla/netscape die when on a shockwave enabled web site

["Bishop, Dean" <dean dot bishop at tcdsb dot org>]

Sorry.  i guess i implied but didn't state that this problem occurs only
when i attempt to browse shockwave enabled web sites while using
cygwin/xfree to connect to my remote linux box (on which i am attempting to
browse).

Also, as i mentioned, if i actually go to the linux box and browse while
logged into that machine, i have no problem with the same sites that didn't
work through cygwin/xfree


i hope that this clarifies thangs.

regards,
dean

Dean,

I think your best bet would be to contact the Mozilla project.  You
didn't mention Cygwin/XFree86 in your post, so I am guessing that you
posted here by mistake.
