Use Configure to set your name servers(s)" This looks like your networking has not been set up correctly, so is nothing to do with NetSurf itself. You will need to get in to network configuration to see what the settings actually are. Double click on !Boot, and then in the configuration window that opens go in to Network. Check the settings and report here again if necessary. -- Chris Johnson Edinburgh ___ netsurf-users mailing list -- netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org To unsubscribe send an email to netsurf-users-le...@netsurf-browser.org

I'd say first worry about getting it connected, then worry about getting netsurf to behave. > The problem is getting Netsurf upgraded without Internet. Is it > possible to get a connection via the old version of Netsurf that is > currently installed? Well, I don't really know netsurf all that well. I thought netsurf was just a browser. If so, it is not in a position to do anything about the machine's not having connectivity. Until you can give the machine connectivity, netsurf isn't going to be able to do much but, as the message you quote put it, "only browsing local files". /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTMLmo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B ___ netsurf-users mailing list -- netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org To unsubscribe send an email to netsurf-users-le...@netsurf-browser.org

I know there are not that many folks left running a RISC PC these days, but I would have thought enough to give advice for the network setting up here. I'm still running a real SA RISC PC (27 years old) running 6.20. If the person in question would like to contact me personally, I'll see what can be done.

As another reply points out, that isn't a NetSurf issue; it's a local machine configuration issue. There are many reasons why the machine might not be connected and this isn't the forum to try and diagnose it. The most basic level would be - if, when you click on the Hard Disc entry on the icon bar and get a Filer window open for the root of that drive, there is a "!Boot" application, then try double-clicking on that. If you get a configuration window, then the machine is at least booting normally and you can investigate Internet settings from there. If you get a warning that no boot sequence has been run, then you have additional steps to take in order to restore booting from the hard disc first; the built-in ROM only gets you access to a basic desktop, but things like screen resolution settings or Internet connectivity are enabled only when additional information is read from the hard disc. You could register with the RISC OS Open forums (disclaimer: I'm a "staff" member, insofar as we have "staff", so I am biased!) - be sure to check your spam folder for the confirmation e-mail when you sign up, as your account won't be activated without that - and then enquire on the forums there. * https://www.riscosopen.org By the way - if your computer has been unused for several years I would encourage you to open the lid and check the CMOS backup battery - it's one of those "big watch batteries" (CR2032). It is probably flat and might be at risk of leaking. Replace it as soon as possible, although this is a bit fiddly on an unmodified machine - some soldering required. * http://www.cjemicros.co.uk/micros/individual/newprodpages/prodinfo.php?prodcode=VAR-BATPCBV -- TTFN, Andrew Hodgkinson Find photos, software, music and more at my home site, Bandcamp and GitHub: https://pond.org.uk / https://pondnz.bandcamp.com / https://github.com/pond ___ netsurf-users mailing list -- netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org To unsubscribe send an email to netsurf-users-le...@netsurf-browser.org
