- These are some files that have helped my DOS/WINDOWS TCP/IP Apps to run better.
- I got them from an IBM FTP site using information I found in an Internet OS/2
- newsgroup posting. I can not find any official IBM support for this but it
- has worked great for me in getting Netscape to run solidly, up to and including
- V2.0.
-
- This is all assuming you already have Netscape running but it is sick. If you
- are not already at this point you have some work to do first.
-
- Some of the files are in fact for TCP/IP 3.0 ( i.e. Warp Connect ) but I have
- only tested them with TCP/IP 2.0.
-
- In any case you are completely on your own!!!!!!! USE CAUTION and backup your
- old files before starting.
-
- The first thing to do is to boot from a floppy or to a command line or REM out
- your internet stuff in config.sys because some of these files are locked and
- will not let themselves be overwritten.
-
-
- Next copy VDEBUG.EXE
- VDOSCTL.EXE
- and
- VDOSTCP.VDD
-
- to your \TCPIP\BIN directory overwriting the existing files.
-
- Then copy WINSOCK.DLL
-
- to your \TCPIP\DOS\BIN directory
-
- REMINDER! make sure this directory is the only one containing ANY winsock in
- your AUTOEXEC.BAT's PATH statement.
-
-
- Lastly go to your NETSCAPE.INI file
- and find the lines that say [Network]
- Use Async DNS=YES
-
-
-
- Change them to [Network]
- Use Async DNS=NO
-
-
-
- Reboot for good luck
