Thanks for your reply to my questions. As for the icon, I did eventually find 
one reference to it and a suggestion to paste a custom icon.

Can I ask you which version of MOL you are using? I'm having peculiar problems 
with MOL 0.9.65 and also 0.9.67. Here's the thing: I was able to successfully 
set up networking using "tun" and from within Mac OS X, I am able to ping 
other hosts, by name and by IP, and even telnet to them, but from within IE, 
when I try to load pages, I always get error messages like this:

  The attempt to load 'Accessing URL: http://www.whatever.com/' failed.

The Apple Help browser also takes a very long time to start up. Oddly, from 
the command line, I can use a telnet to port 80 to retrieve web pages from 
the exact same servers that I was not able to reach from IE. So, apparently, 
everything works from the command line, but not from within the web browser.

I'm rather stumped with this problem right now and haven't found a solution on 
the archives.
