hello
I recently fixed up a computer for a friend so he could get on-line but 
some prob poped up and some opinions would be welcome as to what might be 
wrong.
the computer is a compaq 180mhz pentium pro with 190meg ram.I gave him a 
USR 56k sportster external modem to use on it. the operating system is 
DRDOS7.3 and Windows NT4 service pak 4 .
the problem is that it will dial the inet and log in ok but then just sits 
there and cannot go to any web sites.
in DRDOS I installed Qmodem 4.2 on my computer and my friends computer ,his 
computer will call mine and Qmodem connects but it stops right there,same 
as the internet problem.I have checked the modem and it's fine (swapped it 
out)
what could stop his computer in its tracks,right after a connectiom is 
established? do you think phone line probs or could it be in the Compaq 
pentium pro? why does it connect up great and then just set there? had him 
call me with Qmodem a while ago and it connected fine (my end was wating 
for login name) but he didn't see any login stuff.
if you need any more info let me know.the fact that the prob is in DOS and 
Winnt stumps me!

tnx
