- Help, I'm having problem with the newest version of Trumpet Winsock. I have a
- home 386/sx PC and am dialing into a slip connection through internal modem. I
- am dialing with the internal dialer program in TCPMAN.exe and I have confirmed
- both the IP files are correctly configured as well as the domain. I try to run
- PINGW through this connection and get a continual scrolling message ICMP
- TRANSMIT ERROR. I also cannot get Mosaic to work through the connection as
- well - get FAILED DNS LOOKUP error message from Mosaic. Any clues as to how to
- alleviate this problem?? Thanks in advance. Positive E-Mail welcomed.

- You did not mention it, so I will ask, did you start the TCPIP NLM on the novell
- server? And also, you can load the TCPCON NLM which is a console monitor program
- on the novell server and look at the routing tables to see if the novell
- server knows that when packets come to it from the side with all the pc's that
- it should send it out the ethernet on which the RS6000 is sitting, and vice
- versa. It may also be necessary to tell the RS6000 that the novell server
- is a gateway for all the pc's. I don't know much of anything about AIX
- but I have a similar setup here, just replace the RS6000 by a SUN and I am
- doing what you are talking about. I have novell servers with multiple
- ethernet cards, servers sit on an ethernet along with the SUN and a CISCO
- router which connects to the internet, pc's sit on other ethernet cards
- hung off of the novell servers. I don't know much about novell (I administer
- the SUN and CISCO in my spare time from programming) If you have any questions
- that you want to ask, I can try to answer them, won't guarantee though :)
