Sounds more like you have a DNS failure.  This is not a WinSock
bug.

Later,

Agreed, although I feel that most are making a good job of this.  The
applications which give me the most trouble are Eudora (see below) and any
app which does not wait for the login process to be completed.

The version of Eudora I'm using (1.4) does not wait for the login process
to complete before attempting to resolve domain names, etc.  As as result,
errors occur until the login is complete.  What I cannot get Eudora to do
is start the winsock (Trumpet), wait for login, do it's mail stuff, then shut
down the winsock, which logs me out again.  If someone knows how to do this,
PLEASE let me know how.

This is good if I can afford the disk space.  I'd like to have the option of
staying online, or going offline.

I have the same problems with the Trumpet newsreader as with Eudora; it does
not wait for the login process to complete before attempting to execute
network commands.

TELNET.
I still haven't found a good standalone telnet client which does reliable
VT100 emulation, including the full screen keypad stuff.

I too have been using WINIRC...it's worked great and I recommend it.

How about "7" instead of "8" in the setup?
