Unfortunately, it was not that simple. Let me give you some more details.
When I bring up Netscape, the error is:
Netscape is unable to locate the server:
home.netscape.com
The server does not have a DNS entry.
There is no "Remote Networking" selection available on "My Computer". There
is "Dial-Up Netwoking". When I bring that up, it gives me a phonebook. I
set the phonebook up with my ISP local phone, account #, etc. I get a
successful connect with the ISP, but nothing further happens and the
connection times out.
From the control panel, Network shows:
Services:
Computer Browser
NetBIOS Interface
Remote Access Services
RPC Cofiguration
Server
Simple TCP/IP Services
Worksatation
Protocols:
NetBEUI Protocol
TCP/IP Protocol
Adapters:
3Com Etherlink III Adapater
Bindings:
NetBIOS Interface
Remote Access Server Service
Server
Workstation
Under each of these shows:
NetBEUI protocol
WINS Client (TCP/IP)
Under each of theses shows:
Remote Access WAN Wrapper
3Com Etherlink III Adapter
Modems shows a Sportster 28800-33600 External COM1. Properties show max
speed of 115200, 8N1, hardware flow control.
Internet shows only the Advanced menu, which gives a choice of using a proxy
server only.
Under properties for the TCP/IP protocol, it shows phony IP addresses. The
DNS page is blank. Is there somethign specific that I should put in there?
Something is missing in my configuration, but I can't figure out what. Any
help would sure be appreciated.
