- Hi folks,
-
- I wonder if anyone can help me with my latest TCP/IP quandry. I've been
- running AMosaic (v2.0b3) for months with just the occassional lock-up or
- "unable to connect to remote host" here and there. A few weeks ago,
- AMosaic started failing to connect TO ANY remote hosts...:-(
-
- Specifically, AMosaic starts up as usual and reads my local HTML page. As
- soon as I try to connect to any host, it says that it is sending it's
- request to the remote host. At that point a number of things happen to my
- TCP/IP setup:
-
- 1] After a while, AMosaic will come back and say that it is uable to connect
- to that host. Any other requests will do the same. Quitting AMosaic seems
- to work fine.
-
- 2] More critically, AmiTCP seems to flake out. Specifically, it fails to
- communicate with anything on the InterNet. All clients cannot find any
- things on the net.
-
- 3] Ping fails. I have a ping command (started in startnet) that pings my ISP
- every 30secs to deter them timing out my account. At the time of the
- first failed AMosaic request, that ping command starts popping up a
- console window with an error about something like not being able to get
- enough buffer space.
-
- 4] PPP seems to continue running. The modem stays connected. (BTW, I'm
- running 1.30 registered)
-
- 5] Running the "StopNet" script causes my Amiga to lock-up.
-
- I have reisnstalled AMosaic v2.0b3 and installed the old v2.0b1, to no
- avail. I have even tried running IBrowse and encountered the same problems.
-
- Can anyone tell me where the problem may be. I've checked my startnet script
- for any changes which might affect things (installing a usno time_set?). I
- have been looking at my ENV: settings and can't find anything suspicious
- there. I have run Enforcer/SegTracker and found nothing to occur when things
- go bad.
-
- I've been guessing that AMosaic/IBrowse are doing something which is causing
- AmiTCP to flake out. I'd really appreciate it if anyone can tell me what
- might be the problem!
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
- Paul
