Whats going on...?

After spending lots of hours to get winsock programs to work (Gopher,
Cello, Mosaic) I get conncetion timeout.

I'm running W4W 3.11, with standard Microsoft configuration connectet
to HP-lan (on HP 9000/817).

Also trying Trumpet winsock with winpkt, same there.

If I ping from my PC, I get no packet back (100% packet loss)

If I use Macintosh, who are connectet to the same server, using MacTCP,
and Ping from there or direct on the terminal, all is OK.

(I use Wnqvt/net for Winsock as terminal on the PC, and it's work fine)

any help on connection timeout?......


Thanks

    WinTalk version 1.0 is up for anonymous FTP at elf.com, in the
directory /pub/wintalk.  Version 1.1, with several new features and
some bug fixes, should be out sometime soon, and once it is, I'll put
it up on the standard archive sites.

Connie,

    I am far from a world's champion Networker, so take the following with a
grain of salt. If I have misunderstood your question, blame it on my
inexperience.  Nevertheless, I am going to take a chance that what i will tell
you might help. I hope that it does.

    I, too am on a network that runs Banyan Vines, and FTP's TCP/IP
software.  My connection is via  a dialup telephone line and a modem. I run
Windows Internet apps under FTP's winsock.dll, ver 1.1 (FTP's latest).  I have
succeeded in setting up and running Window's Trumpet newsreader, Gopher for
Windows, Mosaic for Windows, IRC for Windows, and Eudora, a mail utility
that has been ported to Windows from the MAC environment. I have had little
success with DOS apps, so, frankly, I haven't tried very hard to tame them.
Windows seems able, in ways beyond my ken, to transparently handle packet
switching chores using just the Windows apps themselves. and FTP's winsock.dll.

    One word of warning to you, and anybody else who might be interested in
running Windows apps for the Internet:  IF YOU ARE RUNNING FTP'S TCP/IP
SOFTWARE, AND WANT TO RUN WINDOWS VERSIONS OF INTERNET APPS, YOU MUST USE
FTP'S VERSION OF WINSOCK.DLL. NEITHER TRUMPET WINSOCK NOR ANY OF THE OTHER
VARIETIES OF WINSOCK ARE COMPATABLE WITH FTP'S TCP/IP SOFTWARE.

Grey W. Satterfield

Bug.  It's fixed in 2.0.1, which will be released this week.
