There is also a winsock app 'ws_ping' that will allow you to look up ip
addresses.  It is at 129.29.64.246 in the /pub/msdos directory.

I used NSLOOKUP to check the IP addresses for the various servers
associated with my SLIP server & discovered that several separate
Internet addresses are aliases for a single server.

Will the HOSTS file handle aliases also?  How--just entering them as
other addresses?

Subject: Re: WINSOCK.DLL - Error Code 10093 and WSAStartUp()

Steve

How are you calling WSAStartup() ? The proper parameters ahould be the
desired version of WINSOCK and a WSADATA structure. For Pascal it would
look something like this:

const

 WSADESCRIPTION_LEN  = 256;
 WSASYS_STATUS_LEN   = 128;


Type

 PWSAData = ^TWSAData;
 TWSAData = Record
    wVersion         : Word;
    wHighVersion     : Word;
    szDescription    : Array[0..WSADESCRIPTION_LEN] of char;
    szSystemStatus   : Array[0..WSASYS_STATUS_LEN] of char;
    iMaxSockets      : u_short;
    iMaxUdpDg        : u_short;
    lpVendorInfo     : ^Char;
 end;

var wsaData : TWSAData;
    errCode : Integer;

begin

  errCode := WSAStartup( $0101, wsaData );
  .. process any errors ..
end.


Hope this helps. We keep this up and we're going to have to get a
teleport.internet.programmer newsgroup going :)

Subject: Setting up system

Hi All

I have a problem (who doesn't?)

I have been monitoring this newsgroup for about a week now, but
nobody seems to have discussed my problem(s) yet!

Problem:
Help needed with setting up a/any version of Gopher/Archiw/WWW etc to run
under Windows
Specifically:
 - Which Windows version? (I have been able to figure out that it MUST be
   WfW3.11)
 - Which protocols do you have to load?
 - Which network drivers do you have to have
 - Is it possible to do so without actually having a network card installed?
 - If not, and a card is provided, MUST it be connected up to a valid network?
   (You've got it, I do use WfW3.11, but no network!)
 - I have the necessary Windows programs, and what I believe to be the
   proper WINSOCK.DLL, but keep on getting a message that all the libraries
   are not present etc. etc.

DOS is frustrating me, right now WINDOWS is killing me!!
All you wonderful people that:
 a) have it up & running
 b) program these nice utilities
HELP HELP HELP please.
