I'm running Ms-Kermit (MSK316.EXE) on a 486 PC with a 3COM Ethernet card
using either the CRYNWR packet-driver 3C509.COM or 3COM's own version,
3C5X9PD.COM. I have my Internet parameters set to request a DHCP server.
IN the past, when I connected to an Internet site using the Telnet macro
(set port tcp address, pause), I was almost always able to get service on
the first try. Lately, however, it has taken me 2 ... sometimes 3 tries
to get a response from the DHCP server to assign me a dynamic address and
connect me to the site in question. Any ideas as to why the flakiness?
Is my Ethernet card going bonkers or has something on the network changed
or is my PC just getting older than I know it already is?
Thanks in advance.
