Joe,
try 128.159.4.20.
It't the address of titan. Your DNS may be incorrect.
Further, Titan is a VMS with Multinet TCP/IP. It might cause
your FTP client trouble. I use WS_FTP with host
specification VMS/MULTINET to Titan.
I have no trouble with transfers. If you
fail, revert to me and I can post WinVN 0.90.4 to you.
/Niklas

I know it won't comfort you, but I have the same problem. I sent some
helps to this group some months ago. I enclose one answer I got. I tampered
a bit with my system.ini, with no success. If I start tcpman the first
thing after starting Windows, the problem disappers. Although i feels
awkward to have tcpman constantly running.

Hey.

The amounts are in kilobytes. You could try big enough to contain all
of your send/receive buffers (plus some overhead, maybe). If I remember,
you had buffer size 1024, and count of buffers 8. So set NetHeapSize as:

[386Enh]
NetHeapSize=20

It preserves a memory pool under 1M for use to. Windows programs can
allocate memory using GlobalDosAlloc from this pool.
DOS programs 'see' this memory, so it can be used for communicating
between DOS and Windows programs.

Hope this helps.

Jorma.

Subject: NFS Client for winsock?

I was wondering if a winsock NFS client existed? If so, where could I find it?
Thanks.
