My new DSL connection is a pleasure to use. I have two computers
networked together. Prime95, version 20.6.1 is running under Windows 98
on the master computer (the one with the DSL connection). All was well
until Prime95 needed to contact the server. Then I got the message
Dial-up connection not active.
Will try contacting server again in 2 minutes.
When I reported this to [EMAIL PROTECTED], several people responded with
the suggestion that I deselect the 'Use a dial-up connection to the
Internet' box in the Test/Primenet menu. When I did this the message
changed to Error 2250, which appears every 60 minutes.
The standard advice on 2250 is to switch from RPC to HTTP protocol. I
was already using HTTP protocol, so this doesn't apply. As an
alternative it suggests I set up a proxy server. In order to do this, I
need to create primenet.ini and supply it with the name of the proxy
server domain and the proxy port number. I can obtain the server domain
from a ping, but I have no idea about the port number.
I am at a loss about how to proceed. Can anyone help?
