---------
Let's clarify things. The environment is pure DOS in this case, not
a DOS box of Windows, right? You loaded the Packet Driver and no errors
were reported, which we infer because MSK itself did not complain about
lack of a Packet Driver. And there is no other TCP/IP stack running on the
machine at that time; two or more such are fatal.
This most often leaves us with setting up proper TCP/IP values for
MSK. And that means we would need to know what you did setup, and the IP
address of the remote host (to sort out IP addressing snafus). Please
fill in these details and we can try again.
