Dear "Anarkissed":
There is a program to allow DOS machines to share connections with
Windows, even Win 98, etc. called Internet Extender. If you want I can
send you the URL or maybe the Arachne List will send it to you. If the
problem is DNS based and ISP, then maybe you should take a breather and
work on getting it right with the Windoze machine first. Then come back
to your DOS machine with more mental energy and time. Clarence is a
good resource on the List.
Yours,
Thomas/"tomstfor"
