No change when leaving the field blank.
"Can't open MacTCP's domain reslover [not my typo]. Cannot use domain
names." (NCSA Telnet, gives error numbers and exits)
"Cannot open MacTCP" (BetterTelnet, exits)
"Cannot open MacTCP driver" (Comet)
FTP still works. Do I have to set up "Manually", "BootP", "Using PPP
Server" or "Using DCHP"? Do I need TCP header compression or other
options to get a static IP connection?

Thanks,
 Tobias
