It looks like the problem was completely beyond my control, since I am no
longer
having the same problems. I have not changed any settings, but all of a sudden 

I have no problems connecting to Lotus or even Palm whose home page I have
never been able to load before. Maybe my ISP has sorted out some problem....

Subj: Re: Upgrade Netscape from 2.02 to 4.61 and keep config?

From: Alexander E Son <soneus@neoage.com>

I have upgraded NS from 2.02 to 4.61 keeping my bookmark.htm and mail boxes.

I think upgrading needs some manual operations.

First, you must rename your old bookmarks and backup your mail boxes.
(In the installation process, I found that there is no relations between
2.02 and 4.61.
So after backup your data, you'd better than delete the old NS, that is
2.02. I recommend this.)
And then you install 4.61 with creating a new profile. Then you can find
such user directory,
User\%Your Profile Name%, under Netscape. Copy your mail boxes to your Mail
directory.
And run Netscape Communicator 4.61 and find Bookmark menu. Through EDIT
BOOKMARK
you can import your old bookmark and edit it with your own.

I hope it would be your happiness

 DOIP has to change your routing tables to cater for the dialled
connection. These changes may disable some LAN connections, depending on
your configuration, hence the message. The main change is it puts a
default route. If that replaces an existing default you may be trouble.
Use 'netstat -r' to check before and after settings.

Please, don't spam me for this.

I need to install 16-bit ie4 or 5 with 128-bit encryption.  the download
from Microflacid fails for a variety of reasons, all stemming from the
insistance I must be installing from a CDRom.  Can I do this?

Thanks for the answer - I'll try that.  I did a bit more investigation
of the TCP settings yesterday - one of those areas where the on-line 
help is not as good as usual - it looks as though, even on a basic 
network, it is necessary to set up a router function.  In my case I've
now set each machine to use the other as the default router.  

Not sure what netstat -r is tellling me but here are the results after
being connected to the internet.  Not connected when I ran the netstat
command.

  destination         router          netmask   refcnt   use  flags  
snmp intrf
                                                                     
metric
        default    10.143.100.2         0.0.0.0    0        4  UG

       10.0.0.0    10.143.100.2       255.0.0.0    0        0  UG     
 0  lan0
   10.143.100.0    10.143.100.1   255.255.255.0    0        0  U

 0  lan0

Once again the on-line help for netstat doesn't provide much 
information.

The warning message came up as I started the dialler, so putting 
routing entries into the TCP configuration has not cleared the 
"problem".

I'm not sure what they're talking about - but why not go with the 32-bit
OS/2 native Communicator? http://www.software.ibm.com/os/warp/netscape is
where I got mine (if you're in another country restricted by the American
export restrictions, you could also check http://www.replay.com).

No problems downloading/installing on this end.

Does IE have some kind of special encryption scheme
that is non-standard? Or is it just that BackOffice only
accepts connections from browers identified as IE.
If it is the latter, you could probably use one of the
"spoofing" programs to fool the BackOffice product
into thinking your browser is IE. But then you would
probably receive some ActiveX control that would
have to be executed.

I was under the impression that VPN was an actual "standard"
that was available to any system. I gather that Microsoft has
done yet another "adopt and pervert" to keep other Operating
Systems out of "Microsoft Networks".

 Jim, the DOIP has created a default route through 10.143.100.2. I guess this
is part of your ISP's network. It has also removed your routes that you set
up. My experience is that DOIP should restore your routes when it closes. Try
running it with 'debug' on (on the front panel). This may show you what is
happening.
Your routes should be in x:\mptn\bin\setup.cmd. You can run this (or any
command with TCPIP config commands in it) at any time, not just boot up. If
this file has your routes in it, a workaround will be to run it after DOIP
closes. You may find a file setup.bak that has your configuration, if
setup.cmd has been changed to your ISP's config.
I haven't found the need to supply routes for locally connected devices. Maybe
you needed them while the two adapters were configured.

Subj: Re: IE4 or 5 installation

From: Jon Schuck <sfactual@erols.com>

I'm trying to install ie into winos2.  guess I should have said that right
off.  the downloaded file from MS is only a stub that is supposed to complete
the download and install process.  some of the default choices are a bitch.
it really wants to put all the files into a directory off C:\.  when the
install program launches, it looks for various .dll files, but the program
seems to put a '||' in the path for some reason, a la "can't locate file
'||c:\ie4setup\blah.dll'"

and to a previous reply, yes the MS VPN seems to use proprietary encryption.
We ran into a huge problem a year ago trying to run an SSL intranet using IE,
NS, and Mac whatever browsers.  This is different than the VPN problem, but
typical of the general issue.
