I got recently "Windows Internet Tour Guide" book by Micheal Fraase but I'm
having difficulties in using the Chameleon sampler. My problem is when
I run CUSTOM program and create a cfg file I can't enter my DEFAULT
GATEWAY under SERVICES menu option because that option is ghosted.
If I ignore that and initiate SLIP connection only the PING program
work (FTP,TELNET don't work at all).

But if I use Trumpet SLIP & Winsock I can use Chameleon FTP,TELNET, & PING
programs without a problem.

My question how do I enter my DEFAULT GATEWAY in CUSTOM's CFG file?
or do I need an updated CUSTOM program? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I do to, and I have not been able to get wsarchie to work at all, however I
did get the archie client in the winapps to work at one time.  Let me know if
you get something that works.

Thanks, Johnnie johnson

The only thing you have wrong here is that Vxd's are loaded as part of
Windows during system initialization.  Consider them the equivalent
of a device driver.  Also; they are "under" windows as opposed to
part of the Windows that you see.  Heapwalk will not show you the
Vxd; only a Vxd lister which walks the Vxd chain will do
so.
