Has anyone out there managed to get this custom control
for VB working?

I'm using V0.3 with VB version 3 and the PCNFS winsock(latest
version). When I try to run the sample application VBWSKTST
I cannot initiate an outgoing connection. After initiating the
Port property and then the Host property I expect to get a call
to the Connect subroutine. But this never happens.

If the control is made to listen for incoming connections
everything works as expected the problem is only with
outgoing connections.


Any ideas as to whats going wrong ?

Also has anyone any comments on the VTSOCKET control? Is
it worth the $50?


Tony.

Subject: TCP poll reentrancy?

I'm using Trumpet Winsock 1.0 Rev. A.
Every now and then, I try to use an app that hangs--just now WinTalk
 said the user wasn't logged in and hung.  When talk happens, Winsock
seems to be in a dither, even after I get the other app to stop.  Winsock gets
caught in a loop, continually reporting TCPre-entrancy detected.  Stopping
Winsock, turning the modem off, even going down to DOS won't get winsock to
reset.  The only thing that worksis a re-boot.  So...

    1) what is a TCP inerrancy

    2) can I get Winsock to reset without rebooting?

|        Ok, I guess my last post wondering if Winsock would Run on NT was
|not quite what I wanted to ask, For all you woundering, Winsock is built
|into the TCP/IP protocol of NT, but I need software to do a dial-in
|slip/ppp connection to a remote network (internet & others) But all the
|software I have seen use drivers for WFW3.11, any clues?

i hear this question pretty often, so i thought i'd post some info on this.

nt 1.0 tcpip does not support slip or ppp.  apparently, it is possible to
use trumpet winsock on nt by renaming nt's winsock.dll file and replacing it
with the trumpet winsock.dll.  trumpet will then use the comm port to do
slip.

for those that are interested in what's around the corner, daytona (next
release of nt, should happen this summer) will include slip and ppp clients
as well as a ppp server.  this will allow winsock apps to use the built-in
tcpip in nt for dialin tcpip.

Subject: Re: NCSA Mosaic v2.0alpha3

I just want to say that my experience with WinMosiac has never been
nearly as bad as this poster reports.  20a2 has worked nearly
flawlessly with the exception only of a few minor bugs which the
developers know of.  I have used a3 only for one day, but I have had
no serious problems (apart from the bug reported in comp.infosystems.www).

May I venture a guess that the poster might find the problem associated
with MS TCP/IP 32?  That, I believe, is alpha as well and hasn't been
around as long as Mosaic.

BTW I use NetManages's Chameleon v4

It my be that you haven't excluded network memory from use in your config.sys
and \windows\system.ini.

Something like the following:

((in config.sys))
   device=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE x=D000-D3FF noems

((in system.ini))
   [386Enh]
   emmexclude=D000-DFFF


I have Moscaic 2xxx "B". I experience only occasional GPF in wshelper.exe (PC-NFS
stuff) but no problems with Mosaic per se.

As far as I could tell from the form to request the source code for mosaic,
anyone could be a licencee. I think thay still give away the source code but
ask you to be nice about what you do with it. Just because Spry got it does
not mean that they will be the only ones able to put out future versions or
clones.
   mho,
