Description:
It seems that after I've been using Netscape Communicator, although I'm not sure, I need to shut the computer down twice to actually turn it off.

I can't tell if this is something that Communicator is doing or OT or ...

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Paul, welcome to No Wonder!
I have also dealt with this problem and I have found that the reason it does this is due to your PPP connection not closing when the shutdown command is executed. I have found that if you close your PPP connection first then execute the shutdown command it then will shutdown on the first try. Let me know your progress by sending me e-mail at lucask@nowonder.com. Have a great day and thank you for using No Wonder!
