I am having trouble retrieving newsgroups with lots of entries.  The Trumpet
Newreader I am using truncates the list of articles and I can't seem to call
up the remainder of the posts.  Can this be fixed or should I look for a new
newsreader? (BTW, I don't like the QVTNET newsreader, it is slow and has the
same problem with large newsgroups).  Any help would be appreciated.  Cheers.

I have not been able to use XDMCP, but I have heard other hint that
they have.  I usually use regular telnet to my X-windows host, and
there I 'setenv DISPLAY <myhomeip>:0'.  Then I can run my X-windows
programs, and twm if I like.

Subject: Pathworks and Trumpet.....


Sorry folks.  I know this topic has been touched upon.

Could some please re-post the installation instructions for Trumpet Winsock
drivers and Pathworks to co-exist?  Basically I need a model autoexec.bat and
where to find the packet driver provided by DEC.

Thanks in advance!

Subject: WinQVT/Net WinSock memory problems?

Hi,

I've finally managed to configure Windows for Workgroups 3.11
to work alongside netware and WinQVT 3.96 (Trumpet WinSock)
using the ODI protocol drivers.

The only problem that I'm facing now is that once WinQVT gets
started with WinSock, I am unable to start up any other
application (eg. DOS boxes) despite having over 50meg worth
of virtual free space.

Besides that problem, I have no other complains, and am able
to ftp files using WinQVT while copying files from Novell
and Wfw servers simultaneously.

I suspect it might be due to the net.cfg file used by ODI, as
I've got no documentation (why is it so hard to get even
scraps of information on networking ?!!) on the darn file.

If anyone can shed any light on this, I'll most appreciative.

Please reply by email as my news server expires alt.* articles
very quickly.

Thanks in advance!

* william

Subject: Dynamic IP allocation from SLIP server

A friend of mine wanted to try out winsock, so he went down to the computing
dept. to get a SLIP number. Problem is, the dept. no longer gives out actual
IP addresses. Instead, you log on to the SLIP server and type your name and
password. After that, the server hands you a temp. IP number from a pool of
such numbers, sort of like rarp.

He can't use winsock because it wants to know his IP in advance. Does anyone
have any suggestions as to how he can get around this problem?


Thanks,

Daniel

Subject: Re: Running PktDrver software with Banyan

It's funny that you should mention this now.  I just spent about 5 hours
trying to get Trumpet winsock to work with Banyan using native packet
drivers for an SMC card.  If there is a way to do it I haven't found it.
I ended up using NDIS, which really isn't to bad to install once you've
done it.  If anyone else has made it work, I'd love to hear how they did it.

Subject: Winsock API Initialization Error

I have experienced a problem the last several months that is causing me to
pull my hair out!

Environment:

MS-DOS 6.2
WFW 3.11
Microsoft TCP/IP (1.0a) for WFW3.11

486DX50 - 16 MB RAM - Intel Etherexpress 16, Smartdrv 5.0
Config.sys
  \dos\himem.sys
   \dos\emm386.exe
  files=50
   buffers=30
 ... other stuff ...

Problem:

Randomly, when trying to startup a Winsock application, I get the following
error message:

Large, full screen window opens with the heading "WI NSOCK API Dynamic Link
Library" .

A dialog box opens with the heading "Winsock API Initialization Error"

The message in the dialog box is "There is not enough DOS memory to allocate
DOS buffers for all sockets".

The application then complains about no TCP driver present.

Some times I will go almost all day without experiencing the problem.

I tend to load a lof of small utility type applications at startup.

I have tried adjusting the number of both Winsock sockets as well as net-bios
sessions in the control panel - network - tcp/ip driver configuration.

Some times, I will attempt to launch the Trumpet News Reader and experience
the above problem. I will then close down the News Reader, startup a different
Winsock Application successfully, and am then able to successfully launch the
News Reader.

I have tried running Memmaker, loading things high, loading things low, etc.,
to no avail. I also experienced the same problem when I was running DOS 6.2 /
Windows 3.1/ Lan Manager TCP/IP (2.2a).

I would REALLY appreciate if anybody has any ideas on where to look for the
problems.

                                                Thanks!

Subject: Problem with WS-FTP on Vax

I've been using WS-FTP (v. 94.02.08) for a week or so now, and am thrilled with
it.  However I am noticing a problem, or perhaps I should say annoyance, when
FTPing from a Vax.  The Vax (vms v. 5.5) directory lists account name and any
subdirectory information in brackets before the filenames. eg:

[tgn.stm-dir]das-15.stm;1

When I try to FTP this file, it tries to create a file on my PC named [tgn.stm
which it can't do because " [ " is not a valid Dos filename character.
I can get around this by selecting the Prompt checkbox in WS-FTP and then
renaming the incoming file to a valid Dos filename

A bigger problem, however, is that, probably due to a similar limitation,
WS-FTP is unable to change directories on the Vax.  I am able to set my
directory in the Connect dialog box of WS-FTP before I connect, but I then
have to close my FTP session if I want to change directories again.

Questions:
1.  Should I stop complaining and be glad that WS-FTP supports Vax at all?
2.  Has anyone figured out a way to get around this limitation?
3.  If not, is a future version slated to work better with Vax?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Trent
