- I've just installed a 28.8 USR external modem under Win95 but
- I'm having problems using any Internet apps like Netscape.
- So far with the modem I've been able to send a fax easily
- and connect to my local Internet Service provider via DUN.
-
- The problem I'm having is after I've connected with my
- ISP, I try to run Netscape and receive an error message
- saying "Unable to get DSN...." I get the same type of
- connection error message when trying to use other
- Internet apps like MIRC or WinVN.
-
- I've also used Quicklink (the software that came w/the modem)
- to log into my ISP to read mail w/Pine and have had no problems.
-
- It seems like there is no data being sent or received after
- a dial up network connection to my ISP has been established
- even though Win95 says I'm connected at 24400bps.
- Can you offer any advice? Thanks for any help!
