Hey,
I was finnaly able to find a packet driver for my DOS computer
(ethernet connection), but for some reason Arachne shows the main
page, but when I try to go to a different page, it brings up
a "roadrunner" search thing. I tried to edit the wattcp.cfg file, like so:
my_ip = dhcp
netmask = 255.255.255.0
gateway = 192.168.0.1
domain_list = www.rr.com <http://www.rr.com/>
I had to use our mac to find out our router ip (it was under "dhcp" as
"router"). I put the ip under the "gateway" section, which I don't
know was correct. Anyway, it didn't really work, so I'm at a loss of
what to do next. Arachne is at least able to connect, so I did
something right. Also, what does the mtcp.cfg file do? I know it has
to do with ping and other such things, but how do I use it? And how
did it look originally (I accidently did something and it made the
file blank)? Any help on any of these questions would be wonderful.
Thanks!

P.S.- Please don't use any info I gave you to hack me or something
like that. I'm doing this on the honour system. Thanks! Again!
I don't think anybody is going to try to hack your DOS box. But if they
did, would it be a Denial of Service attack (DoS) on a DOS box? (Sorry,
bad networking joke.)
I can't comment on Arachne - web browsing in DOS is way above my head.
However, keep in mind that the mTCP configuration file (the name varies
but it is pointed at by the MTCPCFG environment variable) is unrelated
to the WATTCP.CFG file used by Arachne. mTCP and WATTCP are two
different TCP/IP stacks and sets of applications. The mTCP package
includes a DHCP client, PING, SNTP, Telnet client, FTP client, etc.
Arachne is one of the programs using WATTCP.
For details on setting up mTCP and getting the configuration file back
to a good state see "setup.txt" somewhere in one of the documentation
directories. Here is a link to the online version:
http://www.brutman.com/mTCP/setup.txt
At a minimum you need to tell mTCP what software interrupt the packet
driver is using. This is all explained in the setup instructions.
