All problems had been ironed out for these parts. But I still cannot make my Win95 machine connect to the Internet. I mean, the dial-up program just won't recognize Slirp. I used to be able to run Slirp from my ISP and it worked great. I tried everything possible. I even added a direct connection modem using an .inf file from Well's site (http://www.vt.edu:10021/K/kewells/net/index.html). When I commanded the DUN tools to connect, I saw the login screen, I entered the user name and password and everything (including slirp), but the damn DUN scrren stayed as if the connection was not established. It could be an adventure but I just ran out my patience. Can anyone help? Please cc me.
