Working TCP/IP config section here : Note the changed IP_Grab line - Freeserve reply 'your IP address is' rather than the more standard 'IP address set to' - this is the string arachne looks for when scanning for an ISP assigned IP address.

So much for user friendly.] [tcp/ip] IP_Address PPP IP_Grab Your IP address is NameServer 195.92.195.94 AltNameServer 195.92.195.95 Gateway 0.0.0.0 AltGateway 0.0.0.0 Netmask 0.0.0.0 TCPconfig PPPTCP.CFG In an online world without walls, who needs Gates and Windows?
