Did you read NETWORKS\SETUP.DOC? Did you tell Kermit where to find your
name server?
The quick answer is: you either have to fill in all the blanks yourself (lots
of SET TCP/IP commands: ADDRESS, SUBNETMASK, BROADCAST, GATEWAY, DOMAIN,
PRIMARY-NAMESERVER, SECONDARY-NAMESERVER, etc) or else specify a BOOTP, RARP,
or DHCP server. (For DHCP, you'll need MS-DOS Kermit 3.15 Beta.)
