If you get WWWOFFLE to work properly on Win95 then you are doing very well. I can get it partially working on the original Win95 and harldy at all on Win95 OSR2. This is explained on the WWWOFFLE Win32 web-page. > My problem is I dont get access to anything. > > After installing wwwoffle and setting some web browsers proxy port to > 8080 of localhost, starting local apache web server, launching the demon > and online.bat, I get the following syslog msg, when I try to access my > local pages or any other pages on other servers: > > <syslog> > wwwoffled[1000](Important): WWWOFFLE Demon Version 2.5a started. > wwwoffled[1000](Important): WWWOFFLE Connection from host > localhost (127.0.0.1). > wwwoffled[1000](Important): WWWOFFLE Online. > wwwoffled[1000](Warning): Socket close failed [Not owner]. > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > </syslog> This is an interesting error message, it is not possible to own sockets. The error message that is printed is the text string that represents the error number. Perhaps the string is not a good description of the actual error. > Browser waits for reply but nothing happens... Can you access the WWWOFFLE built-in web server when you are in offline mode? For example http://localhost:8080/Welcome.html. I think that the problem could be another problem with the Microsoft winsock library like the problems that I had with Win95 (as listed on the web-page). Due to the problems in Microsoft's Winsock library there is nothing that I can do to get WWWOFFLE to run on Win32, I don't have the knowledge that is needed. I am told that it runs OK on Win98, Win NT4 and W2000, if this is the case it looks as if you may need to upgrade to get WWWOFFLE to work. -- Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew M.
