version 2.0 connection

Postby tomm » Sat 20 Nov, 2004 5:36 pm

some time ago I downloaded version 2.0. I have been able to connect to my ISP but can not get netscape to work. I am dialing up with terminal. I can pu in my username and password and then it asks ifor my connection type ppp or slip. My isp suggested ppp but they were unsure. I run navigator and the browser opens up along with the following error dialog box. Netscape was unable to create a network socket connection. There may be insufficient resources or the network is down.
any ideas
using windows 3.1 on a very old toshiba laptop :D

You got three and half strikes against. Are thrying to open Netscape after signing on with IE?(minimized, of course).
