Hi Steven,

I don't know what a proxy is.

It looks like resolv2 was changed. I changed it back using a backup.

I have two ISP's: pacbell.net and ucsd.edu.

My problem is when dialing in to ucsd.edu. If I dial in to pacbell.net, I
can use my browser. But if I dial in to ucsd.edu, I can only use email,
but not the browser (when I click on a url it says: "resolving host" and
then "connecting to ..." at which point it just sits there and eventually
times out.)

Unfortunately, while I can dial in to either ISP when at home, only
ucsd.edu is reliable when I am on the road. For some reason, once I
connect to pacbell.net, I start to get lines of garbagey characters and
eventually a "connection lost" message. That never happens with ucsd.edu
(or with pacbell.net when I am at home).

Here are the contents of resolv and resolv2

\mptn\etc\resolv = domain ucsd.edu
nameserver 137.110.0.26

\mptn\etc\resolv2 = domain ucsd.edu
nameserver 137.110.0.26
nameserver 137.239.1.52

Another bit of data: when I switch from one ISP to the other using Injoy,
I sometimes get a trap 0003 in Module Sockets crash.

I don't know why ucsd.edu worked fine last summer and why it is giving me
a problem now.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks,
Sandy
