	I am trying to get the djgpp TCP/IP package to work. So far I have
obtained a packet driver for my card (a  3COM Etherlink III 3C589B) and
managed to get the library compiled. Now when I run the ping program that
came with the package to test it I get the error message 
"Can't resolve Host Address" >  I am unshure wheteher this refers to 
the local or the remote address. I think this is probably a configuration
problem. Here is the config file:


print="using sample configuration" # sample comment
print="contact local network guru for more details"
my_ip=205.159.77.248
netmask=255.255.255.0
gateway=205.159.77.248
#                    nameserver=129.97.128.24           ; sample comment
#                    nameserver=129.97.128.196          # alt nameserver
#                    nameserver=129.97.128.1            # 3rd nameserver
gateway=205.159.77.248
hostname=faspc4
#                    domainslist="uwaterloo.ca"

	The problem seems to be in the _arp_resolve(0 function. Can anyone
help me get this working ?

	BTW the TCPINFO.EXE program mentioned in the doc files doesn;t 
seem t be in the distribution that I got.

Thanks
