Mike, thanks for your reply.
Yes I am using Windows 98.I've tried using : localhost as the server name but got the same message...Could not locate server.

I then ran winipcfg and it gave me two settings for
(1) PPP (11) My 3 Com Adapter

For both of these, the Host name (in More Info) is GOC, but they have different Ip ADDRESSES . ip ADDRESS FOR PPP is 194.125.173.156 and for the 3 com card it is 2.2.2.2. (This is what VID seems to be searching for when I click on Your home page is available at http://goc

Any ideas of where I would go form here.

Regards,

Gerard


>For the host name use localhost ( spelled just like that NOT! i mean NOT! GOC) thats it. You can also try your local ip address i.e. 127.0.0.1 unless you have a constant IP adress or are on a network then use the machine's local IP address to see what that is click start-run- and type winipcfg and click OK this will give you your local IP address.
