Some lists/groups would brand this off-topic, but
my first post on Arachne and TCP/IP was answered nicely. And after
the lengthy treatment given recently in the list to a game that was crashing, I
see that there is probably enough latitude for this question.
I've got Arachne 1.9 up and running now on a museum
piece (486DX2-66, 16 MB). After Blair Campbell and Eric Auer told me that
Arachne has TCP/IP built in, my next problem was to figure out why TCP/IP
would not initialize under DHCP/BOOTP (or why under a static setup Arachne would
fail to connect). It turns out that this problem was likely due to the
packet driver Arachne installed for a generic network card with a Winbond
chip. I put aside the Winbond card, installed and configured a 3Com card
and their packet driver, and Arachne loaded right up.
In testing so far, Arachne successfully handles its
home page at arachne.cz, pages linked to that site, yahoo.com, an image-laden
page at southbendtribune.com, and others. But the seemingly simple and
sparse page at google.com locks up arachne and causes a system halt
with messages like:
dos mem corrupt,
first_mcb=0267
PANIC: before 4a: MCB chain
corrupted
System halted
Anyone know what's at issue here?
