 It's been my experience that going online in SheepShaver for Windows using the "Basilisk II Router" method as described in [[basilisk ii online guide|this guide]] doesn't work.  I'm not sure why.  One method that //does// work, however, is using the "Basilisk II Slirp" method.  Here's how to do it: It's been my experience that going online in SheepShaver for Windows using the "Basilisk II Router" method as described in [[basilisk ii online guide|this guide]] doesn't work.  I'm not sure why.  One method that //does// work, however, is using the "Basilisk II Slirp" method.  Here's how to do it:

 Please note that this is all very UNSTABLE in SheepShaver for Windows.  The Netscape and Internet Explorer versions that shipped with Mac OS 9 will probably crash immediately if you try to use them... likely bringing the whole emulator down. I recommend using [[http://www.floodgap.com/software/classilla/|Classilla]], a new browser that is based on Mozilla.  It might be a bit slow, but it is very stable in the emulated environment. Please note that this is all very UNSTABLE in SheepShaver for Windows.  The Netscape and Internet Explorer versions that shipped with Mac OS 9 will probably crash immediately if you try to use them... likely bringing the whole emulator down.

 +If you are using Basilisk II, you are almost required to use [[http://www.icab.de/download.html|iCab 2.9.9 68k]] now.  Anything else will likely crash the emulator.
