You need to set up a batch file to extract a config file from IP-UP.BAT, something like this: lh lsppp /n:1 /i:4 /M:AT&F&C1&D2 /B:115200 /U:sheywood /P:Password /d:9849676 if exist IP-UP.bat call IP-UP.bat if not exist ip-up.bat goto problem echo. echo my_ip=%MYIP% > path.cfg echo gateway=%remip% >> path.cfg echo netmask=%netmask% >> path.cfg echo nameserver=%dns1% >> path.cfg echo nameserver=%dns2% >> path.cfg echo Ip address set to %MYIP% copy path.cfg c:\arachne > NUL goto end :problem echo You failed to establish a TCP/IP connection. Hang up and try again. :end echo. In your HANGUP.BAT file you should have a line that goes something like this: if exist ip-up.bat del ip-up.bat Also you will of course need some other commands in your HANGUP.BAT. One of the commands probably ought to be one for resetting the modem for your next dialup attempt. In C:\ARACHNE you should have a file named WATTCP.CFG, the first line of which says include=path.cfg I am presenting the above just as an example in which we are assuming that ARACHNE is installed in a directory named C:\ARACHNE and the name of the config file you want to extract is to be named PATH.CFG. Of course you may install ARACHNE into any drive and directory you want and you may give any name you want to your config file as long as its name is not the same as that of any other important config file. Just modify the batch file accordingly. Also ARACHNE.CFG must be modified so as to accomodate a connection being established from outside of ARACHNE. Information on various ways to do this is easy to find. I hope this helps someone. Sam Heywood -- This mail was written by user of The Arachne Browser - http://arachne.cz/
