- The most obvious problem is that you didn't install the correct nameserver
- when you installed AmiTCP (I think that's what you meant when you said
- AmiNet).
-
- When you enter an address in AMosaic, it sends that address to your
- nameserver. You see, the internet calls everything by numbers like
- 128.32.142.1 or 119.112.32.3. The nameserver converts something like
- www.someplace.com to it's actual number address like 142.23.22.1. Once AMosaic
- gets the REAL address, it sends your request out so that the internet can
- understand it.
