If you have bsdsocket-emulation enabled, you do *not* need to have the full AmiTCP installation running. bsdsocket-emulation does almost everything for you. The only thing you need IIRC is the usergroup.library in AmiTCP:lib  (And the assign AmiTCP: of course)

Dear Amiga people,

I am trying to install the NetSurf browser (v 2.7) on an emulated version of Worbench 3.1 (latest version of WinUAE), and I am running into problems.

First and foremost, when trying to access any website, I get a “Could not resolve host” error message at the bottom of the browser. Please see screenshot here.

I have ticked the bdsocket.library option. In fact other browsers (iBrowse, aWeb) can access the web fine.

I note your comment regarding AmiTCP, and the fact that I need to copy the usergroup.library file to AmiTCP:lib. I believe I have done this correctly, since the “Please insert volume AmiTCP in any drive” message goes away. Also when I type the command “dir AmiTCP:lib” it lists the usergroup.library file, as expected (again see same screenshot above)

So where am I going wrong?

Also I have another problem: in the browser window itself, when clicking on most of the controls at the top (address bar, etc.) I get an “Abort trap – Netsurf” error Window. The window is entitled “ixemul.library”. Again I believe I have installed the correct version in the right place.

I would appreciate any help or comments. Let me know if you need any more information from me (versions, screenshots etc,)

Thanks a lot! :)

Alix

normaly it should work.if a reboot do not help, you can look with snoopdos, if it fail some lib to open.


Thanks for this. It did indicate that the usergroup.library still failed to load.

And I have now worked out why. It should be in a "libs" folder, with an "s"... not "lib" as specified in an earlier message! I can't believe I have spent hours on this :)

Anyway, thanks!
