I have been having a lot of trouble connecting to websites with my browser
in recent months, and I am thinking it may be due to the way I have
tcpcfg.exe set up.

The symptom is an alert message, immediately after I've clicked on a
url/bookmark, that says:

"www.abcdef.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again",

....where "www.abcdef.com" is whatever website I am trying to get to, and I
know the url is valid; it may take 2, 5, or many more attempts before I
finally get to the site.

If I could see how others have configured tcpcfg, it might give me a clue.I
think I may have changed my tcpcfg, and I have not changed the LinkSys.
I did not have the problem prior to a few months ago, and I do not have it
when I boot Win95 on the same machine and use IE or Netscape. I have it with
both Netscape and Mozilla under Warp4.

These are my current settings:

on the Network tab:

"enable interface" and "automatically, using DHCP" are checked.

On the routing tab:

"Net 192.168.1.1 1" (the LinkSys router address)

On the hostnames tab:

I have a hostname specified, and 2 dns addresses (that my ISP gave me) in
the "nameserver addresses" field

I left the defaults in all other tabs, except for the Mail tab:

mail environment: checked "LAN only", checked "Enable multi-user mail for
this workstation" box and put a moniker for myself in the box, "Mail storage
root directory" field is "D:\tcpip\umail\mailstor"

I doubt these latter tabs have any effect, it is the Network, Routing, and
Hostnames tabs that are of interest to me.

Thanks,
Wayne
