Hi Jochem, can you telnet to pear.php.net:80 ?didn't see your reply earlier (been away from the PC). here is the answer: open a dosbox (type 'CMD' in the run dialog) then type the following in the dosbox: telnet pear.php.net 80 if you get a 'Connecting to...' flashing on your cmdline and then an empty screen then you are connecting fine. the empty screen is actually a prompt for you to type a request (an HTTP request) e.g. type the following (+ ENTER) will return the HTML for the index page of that domain: GET / HTTP/1.1 ---- AND PLEASE NEVER ONLY POST A QUESTION DIRECT TO THE GUY/GIRL THAT IS HELPING YOU ATM.... THEY (i.e. me) ARE NOT YOUR PERSONAL HELPDESK... POST TO THE LIST (also gives other people to learn from your problems!)
How do I do this? I have selected start > run > cmd > telnet so far. Kevin.
