Am having difficulty making connection with Telnet (several clients) and searching for related areas which may help resolve the problem. It would seem that Winsock might cause this . Windows 98 operating system's Telnet.exe freezes after attempting to connect and eventually reports back "cannot connect to <target>". Using another Telnet client (Putty.exe) with SSH, a connect attempt produces no action. I also use another client called "DXTelnet, which is geared toward amateur radio operator usage. This produces: "trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", but does nothing else. Strangely enough, I cannot ping the IP address, either, although my browser and email works first class. ISP is Verizon DSL. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. cwFan
