Thanks Dale,
I am using the DNS addresses provided by the Freewwweb ISP instructions for
Windows DUN setup. I am beginning to suspect that after connection and
login verification, Freewwweb is routing requests to a proxy server, as
Sergei suggested. Does that sound likely to you? As for Compuserve, I
wonder if something similar isn't happening there also. I originally got
Compuserve dial-up clues from the CIS Internet Resources Forum. One reason
I was hoping to get Arachne surfing on Freewwweb is so I can dump Compuserve
and continue to use an old DOS machine.

>>Steve, are you sure you have the correct DNS (Dynamic Name Server)
addresses for each ISP you are accessing are entered correctly? My
first efforts with Arachne were unsuccessful because I did not know
what these numbers were and I did not enter any. I was able to
connect, but after that nothing happened. If you have these
addresses entered make sure that you enter the correct numbers for
each service and then save each one as a different Arachne profile
(.acf) file. I first connected Arachne successfully with Compuserve,
but I left them about a year ago for a local ISP. Have you visited
the Internet Resources Forum on CIS? You might want to visit there if
you have not as there are some knowledgeable folks there about
Arachne. I hope this helps and please keep trying as Arachne is
definitely worth the effort.<<
