I avoided the problem by switching to WinVN for a news reader.  The archiving
isn't as nice, but I like it other than that.  (To archive an article, I forward it to
myself & let Eudora archive it.)

I posted this problem before, but I got no response, so I will try one more
time.  Perhaps someone can help me with a small problem I seem to be having.

At work I am running Trumpet Winsock in norton desktop for window, windows ver
3.1.  I have been checking out two different types of windows wais clients and
I have developed a problem with both.

When I try to pull over a .src file I get a 'Invalid property value' error,
and then after pressing OK, the entire application crashes on me.  I cannot
see to figure out what is wrong.

I looked through my win, ndw, and system .ini files and have nothing pointing
towards a .src file.  And the exe's are normal archives under NDW.

Now, this may sound like a simple stubid question, but I will dammed if I can
figure out the cause of the problem.  It works on another system, so I know
the programs work.  Though reinstalling windows and NDW are out of the question,
on both systems I have updated many of the drivers etc,  I would do a directory
copy though the machines are not at the same location.


Anyone know how to fix this?  At least any ideas where to look?

Thanks in advance.

I'm glad you cleared up the DNS confusion had logged on to do that myself.
Since I'm here I might as well pass on my experience with the VxD TCP/IP
beta from Microsoft. I think its awesome! I'd been trying to figure out
how the install both a winsock and the "IPX/SPX Compatible ,,," in W4WG,
and neither Trumpet Winsock nor Chameleon would work on my machines. In
fact that configuration crashed all network communications. The MS VxD
winsock works great in this configuration. I found it very easy to install
since it uses the standard Network Setup dialogues of W4WG 3.11 - a "cold
start" install only took a couple of minutes and a reboot. I didn't notice
the internet DNS to be any slower than the above mentioned winsocks, but
maybe mine are always slow. I tested it with a number of popular apps:
Mosaic, Trumpet Newsreader, TrmpTel, QVTnet, WS_FTP, Eudora, Hgopher,
and Cello. Only Cello failed to run, but I suspect that this is a Cello
problem with VxD's because I read here that it also fails with vxdtcpa2,
and not a MS VxD bug per se. All the other apps ran extremely well, and,
although I didn't run actual benchmarks, they all seemed to run very fast.

Bottom line: If you have Windows for Workgroups 3.11, then Microsoft's
VxD TCP/IP beta is your best bet in my opinion. Which brings up the
standard disclaimers: all opinions expressed here are strictly my own
and do not constitute any sort of endorsement, official or otherwise.

Subject: No network buffers

We are using Peter Tattam's Alpha 18 Winsock.  Computer is Zeos DX-25.  NIC is
3Com509.  I've tried it with regular packet driver setup and with ODI.  No
difference.

I have a user, unfortunately my boss, who has suddenly developed a problem
with his winsock based clients.  He was alternately getting messages about no
network buffers, and a message about low network buffers from tcpman 4 of 16
available.  Mosaic etc. worked then ( with 4 buffers available).  But he was
concerned about the warning mesage, so he called in our Novell Network folks,
who know not what they do with TCP/IP. They fooled around and now he gets
no network buffers everytime.  His setup is basically the same as mine and all
our users except for having PC-Anywhere host drivers loaded.  Any clues on
debugging this?  Can I see what is using his buffers by flagging some of the
options under Trace in TCPMAN?  Thanks for any help.

Delete the news.grp file from your news directory and reconnect.  News will
then pull in all the groups from that sight.

I dont think Trumpet News was designed to be more then a one sight news reader.
