We can only hope the democrats run out of OPM soon.  ;-)

Given that the computer sees the net, then the problem likely lies in the
protocol or something similar.  There are many different protocols that can
be used on a LAN, only one that can be used on the web - TCP/IP.  You will
need to make sure that this computer has TCP/IP installed and functioning.
That's the first step.  I

  Jon,

  >> Are the pc's networked? <<

  Some quick details that I should have included in my original message:

  Novell NetWare 5.1 running on 533 Mhz file server.
  10 MBit Ethernet cards in all PCs (666 MHz and 800 MHz Win 2000 Pro, 800
Mhz Win XP Home)
  3Com OfficeConnect Ethernet Hub 8C (8 ports; one of them an uplink port
for the modem; plus 1 BNC connector)

  The Win XP Home system sees the NetWare LAN all right. I've been able to
access the server's drive to install new software.
