Problem solved, thanatoid. I left modem on, connected to un-started PC for
much longer than usual, and OK now. But if it's convenient and you still
have the WinSocket utility for '98SE, I'd appreciate your posting, or
emailing (you'll see where it's scrambled) r eff oh .

Rebooting for a longer time (before starting PC) - that did it John. All OK
now.


RobF:

Glad you got it working and thanks for letting us know.

BTW many of the things ISPs hand out that they call "Modems" are
really a combination of a modem and a router. It is the router part
that has a DHCP server that hands out IP addresses to connected PCs.

Good info, John. I didn't know that.

Sorry, thanatoid, I glitched the scrambled address. See below..

I will post it alt.winsock in a few minutes.

Warning: The program just RUNS when you double click on it, does
not ask you for a confirmation, just starts (it does ask for
confirmations later, but it's "too late" already ;-)

The first time I got a router I could NOT get it on the net,
tech support told me to upgrade to XP, etc.

I can't remember HOW I found this program - it was written by
some guy at Boston University and is virtually unknown. I ran it
and everything worked perfectly upon the reboot. I was blown
away. What else can I tell you.

/If/ things **** up, the program DOES make backup copies of your
2 registry files (ext. "tom") with which you can replace the
"new ones" in DOS (ideally using a decent DOS file manager - I
use Xtree - instead of ****ing around with the attrib. command,
etc.), and then everything will be as it was before - I know
this because I just ran the program on this (currently perfectly
working) machine (I like to check things before I post them for
others) and afterwards I could not get a socket created - so I
restored the two registry files and as you see, everything's
fine.

So - just so you know what you're dealing with. No help file or
any help of any kind available, needless to say - Boston Univ.
no longer has the file for DL since as we all know, no one uses
anything but XP and later any more.

Good luck.

I found your post at alt.winsock, thanatoid, but OE did a saddening
manoeuvre. I left a note for you there.
