   I can't get it to work either.  So far I have determined that
it is getting the IP number wrong/garbled, so I suspect that
it was written to different 'rules' from Winsock 1.1; but this
is just a guess.

   Interesting.....

   Have you contacted the author to see about getting the source?

Subject: UPLOADED:  Internet Training Software

To All Winsock Users:

     I have uploaded the following half-dozen Internet training applications to
WinFtp.CICA.Indiana.Edu.  Their are currently in the "pub/pc/win3/uploads"
directory, but I have recommended to the CICA archiver to move them to
the "pub/pc/win3/winsock" directory.  Although they are not Winsock apps
per se, I figured anyone using Winsock is also interested in learning how
to use the Internet itself.  Enjoy!

Ok, let's stop and think about this:
    - WinFSP and Trumpet both seem to work for other people.

    - WinFSP may have some reason (part of the protocol, perhaps)
        to need the NAME of your machine.


Unfortunately, support for the gethostname() call from BSD was added to the
Winsock spec late in the game, and is not very clearly documented in the PD
Winsock help files.  Probably, the WinFSP author knew this, and thought it
would be more compatible if he did a gethostbyaddr() on your own machine's
IP.

Can you tell what answer he is getting back?  In other words, is your
machine correctly listed in a nameserver somewhere?  Failing that,
try adding your own machine to your hosts file.  I don't know how trumpet
works exactly, but there has to be a way to do that.

Good luck,
Heath
