I am up and running again. It's not certain what I did to get back up,
but it might be related to the fact that a few weeks ago I added a
couple of internet cards. One was used to implement DSL service, the
other to network a second computer. When Prime95 finished an exponent
yesterday, it was unable to contact the server, and shut down. At
George's advice I then added UseHTTP=1 to my primenet.ini file, which
didn't help. A while later, this time with my second networked computer
turned on, I tried again, and this time Prime95 came up nicely. So did
Prime95 require my client computer, which has no Prime95 functions, to
be turned on? I don't understand. Can anyone explain this?
