Thanks, again, Bernie, Ben Hood, Eko Priono, Chad Fernandez,
Alessio Palma, Gary Hamilton--and any others I may have missed--
for your helpful suggestions on what to do to get Opera to work
with Trumpet Winsock.
IN THE MEANTIME, though, it occurred to me that I might be able
to log-in to my IP with IE, minimize IE, load Opera, and then go
surfing with Opera. That seems to work, though so far I haven't
had a chance to use it much. Does anyone know whether using Opera
this way may cripple it in some fashion?
In my limited use so far, I do have a question about Opera that I
would appreciate if someone would answer. When I open a window,
it shows "No Security" at bottom left, but under "Preferences,"
security is marked to Enable SSL v2, Enable SSL v3, and Enable
TLS 1.0. I can't get the "No Security" in the window to toggle;
is it supposed to? Or is there some other way to get the security
settings to function?
Even in getting to use Opera with IE, I'd still like to get
Trumpet Winsock to work--and I expect to try your many good
suggestions when I get a chance.
I'll respond now to only a few things mentioned in your various
postings.
Bernie: Yes, IE has two set items in autoexec.bat. Before I try
to run Opera/Trumpet, I REM them out as well as the IE path
statement. Am I sure the DNS is correct? Darned if I know. If you
mean the DnsAddress, I see from the IE dialing configuration that
it is 0.0.0.0, and I'm pretty sure that's what is in Trumpet
(though I've just now checked Trumpwsk.ini and see on the dns
line that it only has "dns=" (no entry following equals).
Ben Hood: I didn't mean to imply that Trumpet is dialing with IE.
Indeed, IE I think uses Shiva PPP and IEDial.
Eko Priono: Yes, I have no trouble connecting with IE, but IE
doesn't use the Trumpet Winsock. Yet you have another suggestion
for using IE's working Winsock.dll, which I'll have to try when I
get a chance.
Chad Fernandez: I think I didn't say accurately enough what I
couldn't get to at Operasoftware.com when using IE. What I
couldn't get to were the Discussion Forums under Newsgroups. I'm
sure that my not being able to open Hotmail is not a cookies
problem. It occurred a couple of months back when Hotmail changed
something about security--and the new messages I got pertained to
security (and I have security enabled just the way their
information suggests).
Gary Hamilton: I can't be sure whether the "! Network problem"
message is from Opera or Trumpet, as it carries no identification
of either.
Again, thanks everyone.
