FreeDOS user,
Make sure that the NAMESERVER parameter is filled in your WATTCP file. This
parameter
should come back from the MTCP DHCP program and is probably going to be the
same as your
router IP address.
For fun you can try the IP address 8.8.8.8 as the NAMESERVER if you are unsure
on what to do here.
Alternatively just try accessing 8.8.8.8 in Arachne itself, just that specific
IP and see what happens.

Subject: Re: [Freedos-user] Arachne Troubles
Okay, Thanks everyone! I filled in the my_ip section with my ip (according to
dhcp.exe), but Arachne still points me to the Roadrunner search, saying "Why Am
I Here? - You entered a web address that was used to present site
suggestions...". I tried a lot of things, one of which was filing in mtcp
(which I did successfully and when I ping a web address or other computers
connected to our router, it comes back positive), but nothing really worked. I
know that our internet works on our other comps because I'm browsing right now
on our mac. Also, Arachne is clearly connected because it brings up the home
page, which it couldn't do before I set it up right. I also have to add (since
I didn't really in the first place): I'm pretty new to DOS, so I don't know all
the DOS-talk terms and whatnot. I do know how to effectively do a lot of
things, but not as much as most of you experienced users and such.

Hey,
I was finnaly able to find a packet driver for my DOS computer (ethernet
connection), but for some reason Arachne shows the main page, but when I try to
go to a different page, it brings up a "roadrunner" search thing. I tried to
edit the wattcp.cfg file, like so:
my_ip = dhcp
netmask = 255.255.255.0
gateway = 192.168.0.1
domain_list = www.rr.com
I had to use our mac to find out our router ip (it was under "dhcp" as
"router"). I put the ip under the "gateway" section, which I don't know was
correct. Anyway, it didn't really work, so I'm at a loss of what to do next.
Arachne is at least able to connect, so I did something right. Also, what does
the mtcp.cfg file do? I know it has to do with ping and other such things, but
how do I use it? And how did it look originally (I accidently did something and
it made the file blank)? Any help on any of these questions would be wonderful.
Thanks!

I'm doing this on the honour system. Thanks! Again!
