Hi, Roger! thanks for the help... how's the Arizona weather?
"Also, tell us what kind of machine you are using."
I did forget to mention the machine: it's a 486/133mhz old Compaq, 28 megs
ram, 120-meg HD, external 28.8 modem. I've also tried swapping the drive
into THIS machine, my daily-use PC... w/ Cyrix 333, 64 megs ram, internal
non-Winmodem, etc. when I very first installed Arachne, it successfully
dialed AND browsed on this (the 333mhz) PC ONCE, but without mouse
support... as I hadn't figured out how to install a mouse driver! I'm very
new at playing with DOS... anyways, I haven't gotten either configuration
to surf since.
"did you re-enter all your configurations from
the previous ARACHNE.CFG?
...uh, I'm pretty sure I didn't!
"Do you use the terminal to dial or use a script?
um, the built-in PPP thing.... is that the terminal? I don't know... where
I just type my #s and DNS' into the fields, and SMTP/POP stuff, and then hit
'dial now'! I don't know which it is....
"Probably the first thing for you to do is to post your ARACHNE.CFG file
...and here's my Arachne.cfg- I hope it means something to you!

Reuben,
Probably the first thing for you to do is to post your ARACHNE.CFG file,
first making sure that you have X'd out everywhere your password appears.
Also, tell us what kind of machine you are using.
Since you have once connected, you do not have a "port problem" (which you
will probably hear about in some later posts).
When you changed to FASTPC.ACF, did you re-enter all your configurations
from
the previous ARACHNE.CFG? (Selecting another profile overwrites
ARACHNE.CFG,
so if you didn't copy ARACHNE.CFG to, say, SPEED.ACF, you might have
destroyed your .CFG file.) Do you use the terminal to dial or use a script?
Somehow, someone, somewhere will get you back online. Although your
questions may have been answered previously, if you weren't around, as far
as
you are concerned, they weren't asked.

mail-list, so I'm hoping this goes where it's supposed to, (!) and that it
hasn't already been answered 300 times!
what do I do with the above error ('PPP down, driver not loaded')? I've
successfully installed DOS (MS- 6.22) and Arachne 1.61, and an external OR
internal modem set on com2/IRQ3. It dials successfully every time, but
'hangs' and won't browse.
I actually DID get it to surf (quite fun! except I apparently can't
read my Hotmail...) a couple times, but I changed to the 'fastpc.acf'
profile, and now no matter WHAT I change, I can't get Arachne to take
advantage of the established connection. What am I forgetting?
thanks!<<
