- Having helped solve one the "build" problems reported here,
- I can report that the problem was *not* compiling the software
- with bcc. The WATTCP software compiled and performed correctly.
-
-
- The problem was the computer had PC NFS drivers loaded for the
- same Ethernet card the WATTCP software was trying to use.
- Removing the PC NFS software solved the problem. (Summary:
- you cannot have multiple packages trying to access the same
- network board at the same time.)
-
- I also want to note how the Internet made an international
- problem solving effort possible. WATTCP is from Canada,
- I'm in the U.S., and, if I read the domain "nl" correctly,
- the problem was in the Netherlands.
