Ray,
Error 4688 in decimal is 0x1250 in hex. Because you are trying to
print this as a character (see your "%c"), you are printing just the
last byte -- the 0x50, which is the ASCII value for the letter 'P'.
I think you'll find that error code 0x1250 is equivalent to
netErrNoDNSServers. Please see the FAQ on interpreting error codes:
<http://tangentsoft.net/palmfaq/intermediate.html#errors>
The following site is also very handy:
