Windows 3.11 TCP/IP - how??????
Calum:
i have windows for workgroups 3.11 installed over a caldera dr-dos 7.03 system.
how do i get it to connect to the internet?
i know my dialin number, i know my logon and password (i suspect these are pap login details)
in fact here;s how it's done in linux:

anyway, how is it done in windows 3.11?
i have found a lot of confusing and conflicting info about trumpet winsock etc, and it confuses me and i can't get it going.
also i don't want to use IE, even if it does have its own tcp/ip stack. i don't like or trust IE.
i would rather use mozilla or phoenix or some other open source browser.
i did get arachne but cannot install it as it says i don't have enough memory (hmmph, 640MB of RAM, but then it will be something about memory managers etc)
so can i use some mozilla or firebird do you think?
how does one do this?
thanks in advance.
also, as you will see this is a caldera dr-dos question, not a windows question. not really ;)

I have no idea as to the answer to your question, but I doubt you'll get any 32 bit browser (such as Mozilla) working on a 16 bit OS.
Calum:
sorry, i forgot to mention i have win32s installed:

it allows some (many don't work), 32 bit programs to work.

Calum,
Win 3.11 could support TCP/IP natively but only with a network card. You would need to download the windows 3.11 TCP/IP disk. Why is it a download and not included with 3.11? Well because MS originally thought it would be a good idea to sell it as an addon.
Anyway... that doesn't work with dialup. Win95 was the first MSOS with native dialup TCP/IP support. For Win 3.1x you need a third party program, such as trumpet winsock.
