I'm on high speed, and have never had any problem getting arachne (170) to connect..a couple weeks ago, it just stopped..i get 'unable to make connection'...windows (both NT and 31)still work OK, as does BeOS, so i know my connection's OK..from what i know of high speed, a browser like arachne would'nt be singled out for a refused connection (besides, even my 386 still connects..slowly, of course) I hadn't changed any settings whatsoever when this occured... Anyone have a clue? Thanx

Is the DOS network driver loaded properly? Can any other DOS browser(like Lynx) still work fine now?

Or try the latest and GNU GPLed(!) version of Arachne -- version 1.73:

Maybe my ISP's got a new policy about dos browsers...seems unlikely tho.... And, no, i've not used any other dos browser as the rest have been a pain to set up.... I'll have a look at that GNU arachne , sounds interesting....
Summary: Although i've asked this question several times over the last couple of years, without success, i'll try again as the problem still occurs.. I have hi-speed (cable) internet access with which I have b...
Summary: I just really hope someone has any idea about this.. up until last winter i had been succesfully, without any problems, running arachne with my (major canadian ISP) hi-speed cable connection using th...
Summary: Hi everyone! I am, and always was a big DOS fan, and absolutely love using DOS, anyway, enough of that. I don't have much experience with DOS internet services, all I really used were BBS's and I used...
