Could dial up OK, but both Turnpike & IE Explorer could not connect - Turnpike said it couldn't make a socket. Yesterday in desperation I wiped all the NT4 system files (I have Windows 95 on the machine, too); then I reloaded NT4 from scratch, setting up the network and dialup stuff en route. Guess what? Turnpike & IE Explorer worked first time! Only 1 caveat: I have to make the connection before starting Turnpike. Note: I loaded Turnpike into NT4, and modified its .ini files to use the databases in the Windows 95 partition. Before reloading NT4, I had Service Pack 2 installed ....
