Neil Waldhauer:
I installed some Win16 networking application, and I realized that it won't work without some kind of WinSock support.

Apparently I've forgotten how to add WinSock support. Anyone remember this one?

Dave Yeo:
It might be as simple as adding x:\TCPIP\dos\bin to the PATH in autoexec.bat, but it has been a long time and there might have needed to be a setting on system.ini or win.ini.

Neil Waldhauer:
Thanks, I see I have winsock, and it's in the path. Something else is wrong.

While I'm at it, I'm trying to get TN5250 to work. Maybe getting these old 16-bit Win freeware programs isn't the best way. What other ways could I get TN5250 capability. (Telnet to an IBM iSeries)

David McKenna:
 Hi Neil,

 If I remember correctly, installing the MS Internet Explorer for Win3.1 will also install and setup winsock support. There was also 'Trumpet Winsock' that was used before IE. Been a loong time tho.... gotta try this again myself...

Regards,

Neil Waldhauer:
Thanks for the tip.

I tried installing IE from a WinOS2 Full Screen session, and the OS/2 system traps. I have auto-ipl, so I didn't even get to see the trap screen.

The readme for 16-bit IE says you must install your own WinSock.
