Well, we can say that the registration site no longer exists. You'd need
to ask Intuit if there's an alternate method of registration available.

Since this is a Win3.1 app, you can probably just copy the quicken
directory. Check the WINOS2 INIs for references to quicken. These will
need to be copied also. Assuming Intuit didn't try really hard to hide
the registration data, this should be sufficient.

You still have bad values in one of your RESOLV or RESOLV2 files.

If I change my RESOLV files to:

domain earthlink.net
nameserver 192.168.2.1

then:

[j:\tmp\0]nslookup www.earthlink.net
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.2.1: Non-existent
host/domain
*** Default servers are not available

Familiar?

When you fix this, check both your OS/2 and MDOS ETC directories. This is
an example of the reason I recommendeded pointing the MDOS ETC variable at
\mptn\etc. There's less to maintain and it's unlikely you are going to
need MDOS specific values.

I'm sure you typed it in that way at some point in the past. The value is
case sensitive, but common practice seems to be to use lower case for host
names.
