Error -39: 'eofErr End of file; no additional data in the format'. Something probably went wrong during downloading or unstuffing. Get a fresh one. Part 1 of the webkits on Jagshouse contains all you need. But don't try to unstuff it on a PC, since part of the data (resource forks) gets lost then. >Modem seems to be plugged in and >the phone jack works fine. > >I am tempted at this point, to start the Mac without extensions, trash all >the above and reinstall TCP & PPP again. I used the instructions linked at >Gamba's site to configure TCP. What worked for me was to put a fresh trio of MacTCP 2.0.6 , ConfigPPP 2.0.1 and PPP 2.0.1 (chooser extension) in the system folder, then START with configuring Mac TCP. Configure everything, starting with setting it to 'manually', fill out all the forms and when done, resetting to 'server'. Restart, and proceed to ConfigPPP. These CP's indeed 'get confused easily', as mentioned earlier this week on this list, and sometimes keep saying things like 'couldn't open PPP preferences'. Be sure then to start from zero, trashing all the prefs and files these little buggers made. >I do have my ISP's IP address and I set the >rest of it as per the instructions.
