   Hi, all--

I have a mystery I can’t solve!

I recently got a new Macbook. I can log onto LUGnet while in Windows, but need some help configuring the Mac so I can log in with OS X. It seems that the Mac does not let me allow cookies, even after telling Safari it’s okay.

you might try downloading the Firefox web browser and see if that helps. if not there may be some issue with the set up you are using to connect to the web. we’ve had some users at the university not be able to loginto various systems due the configuration of the wireless connection in various “free” wifi businesses . we recommend the use of firefox as it tends to be more compatibility with pc based web systems. it’s apparently easier for the programmers to code for firefox as it’s on both pc’s and mac’s, than for safari which used to be mac only.

perhaps another macuser will be able to help with this as I tend to lurk and haven’t ever actually ‘logged into ’ lugnet
