unknown Winsock error

Post by Thunderstone »



Help,

I get a 000 gethostbyname : 0 - unknown winsock error

when running gw.exe - What's up?

(Windows NT 3.51 sp4, Netscape Server (running))

I'm trying to install for the first time. It creates the DB dir but
hangs.

Thanks...

The most likely cause of this is an incorrectly setup DNS server.
The free version will try and contact ls.thunderstone.com to verify
the license. You need to make sure that you can ping that name
and do successful name lookups.
