Hi, some educated guess: when you used winxp, it got a new ip number from your
router or

Thanks, Bernd, problem resolved. As it turns out I didn't understand the term "name server"

Your method with WatTcp will work ok but I decided to do manual tcp/ip setup instead. The
following will work with default settings of Linksys routers:

The packet driver RTSPKT.com loads fine but Arachne won't open any web page.

1) The link is directly to the company that created the browser (from Czech
Republic), however the website doesn't seem to be updated any more.

James, I'm not sure if you really got all your partitions right. The most
common configuration is as follows.
You can have up to three primary partitions and one logical partition.
Each primary partition can be made "active" or "bootable" (which means the
same thing). Most operating systems
Ooops, I've just noticed that I included Free.exe as the last line in the

First, let me assure you that once you get through the installation the OS

Try with INSTALL instead of DEVICE:

It should work, although it's not guaranteed.
