2787.0. "PPP and lan connections ?" by VMSNET::F_HARRIS (old hardware hacker) Fri Feb 07 1997 20:19

    		I just installed a network card (3c590b-combo) in my
    gateway system running W95 . I added it using the control panel
    add device which went ok but now I cannot use netscape or any
    other application with dialup ppp connection . I am able to 
    establish the link with ppp but cannot do any thing after that.
    I have found if I unbind the network card with the microsoft
    client the ppp connection works ok . I have been through all
    of the setup and property screens thats possible many times 
    with no luck . I suspect a bug in the register data base in 
    W95 . I might be trying something that will not work . My 
    apps seem to have problems with finding the proper nameserver
    when doing lookups . The network card connections work ok as 
    far as pinging and ftping to unix workstation (alpha 200) that
    I use in the work from home program ( I use QVTNET ).Has anyone 
    else had problems in this area ? 
    
    				Thanks , Frank
