Thanks! Try connecting with your ISP outside of Arachne. You can use NETDIAL or COMTOOL as a dialer and you can use either EPPPD or LSppp as a packet driver. To load LSppp as a packet driver only and to establish the DNS numbers, load LSppp with no parameters. Once you figure out how to establish a TCP/IP connection outside of Arachne you can modify ARACHNE.CFG so that you can use the connection with Arachne. Appended below is a sample dialup and connect script using COMTOOL and LSppp. Modify as needed for baud rate, comport, modem init string, number to dial, and DNS numbers. See COMTOOL.TXT For use with this program, you will need to write a WATTCP.CFG file in the directory where Arachne is located, the first line of WATTCP.CFG is "include=path.cfg". In many cases this is all that is absolutely required in order for Arachne to work. Of course you will also have to modify ARACHNE.CFG for connecting outside of Arachne. Arachne will work somewhat better if you can hit upon some ways to properly tweak WATTCP.CFG. ------------------------------------------ @echo off REM Program name: DIALUP.BAT REM Program needs COMTOOL.COM, HANGUP.BAT, and LSppp.exe echo. echo Ready to dial the Internet Service Provider whose number is indicated. echo Upon connecting you will see a terminal screen. echo Enter your login and password at the terminal screen. echo When you see the strings of "weird characters", press ALT + E. echo. echo Also press ALT + E to get out of this program in case it "hangs". echo. echo Press any key to continue . . . pause > nul :rep echo.

Don't forget to to run HANGUP.BAT after you have exited Arachne and finished your session. Regards, Sam Heywood -- This mail was written by user of The Arachne Browser - http://arachne.cz/
