As I've posted several times before, WinFSP will not work for me.
I am using Trumpet Winsock.  I think I may have found the problem.
I turned lots of tracing in under the Trumpet Winsock menu.  One thing I
noticed that was odd was that WinFSP only made one call: gethostbyaddr.
Now this sounds perfectly logical, except the address that it used was not
the address of the site I wanted to connect to, but rather the address
of my PC!!!   This isn't right is it?  I don't think so, because using the
trace on Telnet, when I connected to a remote site, it also used
gethostbyaddr, but with that sites address.

This would definatly explain why it won't connect to a server!!!

Anyone have any clues?

Karl,
   I'm surprised that you have problems. On my system using
Trumpet winsock with the built-in windows drivers, I can ftp text
files at 3.5 K bytes per second and ZIP files at 1.4K bytes per second
which is all I can expect from a 14.4K baud modem. What
throughput do you get?

Subject: WinTrumpet (winsock) versions?

I've heard that there is a new version of WinTrumpet that does article
threading and sorting. Is this something that's available now or coming soon?

try the 'address' -statment in login.cmd. (see the winsock.doc)

Be aware that winirc.exe is _not_ ircII compliant so if a lovely
lady asks you if you want her .gif, you can forget it! The
windows are nice but the commands are limited. Should we all chip
in $5.00 and start a scholarship fund for Peter Tatum so he can
stop chopping the heads off rats in the psych dept. and start
programming winsock apps full time?
