[Chimera-users] Still having connection problems with Internet...

[Greg Couch]

We have seen a similar error on 64-bit Debian Linux running the 32-bit 
version of chimera.  The solution was to use the 64-bit version of 
chimera.  If that doesn't fix your problem, please file a bug report at 
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/cgi-bin/chimera_bug_report_2.py> (we would prefer 
that you use chimera's Help / Report a Bug dialog, but that might not work 
either).
