        After sending my message in this Echo, I tried www.zdnet.com again.
Guess what?  Yup, I was able to access their sites again.  8-)  They must

        FWIW, "webmaster@zdnet.com" doesn't work for sending E-mail.  I tried
that and it bounced back.  My next was going to be "comments", but I didn't
have to do it.

problems with Netscape For OS/2 Warp Version 2.02. Maybe it's your  WH>

        The version is the latest for OS/2.  The Java level could be updated
but it's the one that came with the Netscape/2 from June.  Anyways, I'm now
able to log on to their sites.  I didn't change anything here, so they must
have done something different for awhile.  Who knows?
        Thanks for the come-back.

Regarding your problem's solution, simplicity in itself, load the

After setting up my system again I can't access to Internet anymore. To make
it more complicated at the same time the ISP (the university) maybe changed
something with their servers, too.
Now my problem. When calling the ISP everything looks quite normal, the only
difference is, that when trying to get a site in the Internet nothing is
coming (Netscape). If I use the Webexplorer it almost crashes the WPS (which
it doesn't when I'm *not* connected). When I go to the command line and write
/nslookup [IP-address]/ I get no answer.
Finally I installed Injoy and tried it. The connection is good (31.200) but
when it comes to the PPP-protocol something happens (I get error-messages).
        Invalid protocol 0x820
        Invalid fcs
Can someone help me?
