I have installed NT 4.0 Workstation on a Digital UDB (an Alpha box). I
followed the exemplary clear instructions in "nt4.txt" on the demon ftp
site.

For the IP address in TCP/IP settings "which should be your IP address" I
used the address which is displayed when I log on (158.152.40.109).  

The IP address in TCP/IP Properties (under Network control panel) has a
subnet mask 0f 255.255.0.0 (the default, I believe). All other settings
under this control panel (host name, domain, dns server and suffix search
orders) are as set out in s3 of nt4.txt.

Under Dialup networking, server type is "PPP" etc. - enable software
compression and PPP LCP extensions are both disabled.

I can log on, no problem. The terminal goes through the usual login,
password, protocol to Hello, and then some sort of authentication. But
then, although I'm connected I'm clearly getting nothing. The ping test
responds with request timed out (I've used the -w parameter to extend the
response window to 5 seconds and still get the same. MS Internet Explorer
loads, but when I try to access a web site it sits at "finding
www.site.com" or similar.

Anyone got any help to offer? An e-mail would be appreciated, as I am not
always able to access these groups.

Many thanks for listening.

Steve
