Hi All,

Although I have been searching for a ping program for DOS and did not 
succeed in this with Google I played a bit with ping in windows.
Afterall, as the LAN-cards and the modem/router are to be used by DOS 
and windows the addresses are likely to be the same.
machine #1 (Win XP) 192.168.1.64 =>=>=>=>
                                                                          
ROUTER/MODEM
machine #2 (Win98 + DOS) 192.168.1.65 =>=>

Ping 192.168.0.1 .... Host not available.  But 192.168.1.254 did answer  
so I tried that.
Ping 192.168.1.254 did echo a normal  connection.

Now: I entered the 192.168.1.254 as URL and the "Connect/Disconnect"page 
to the internet was there on the monitor.
Question #1: Is this Connect-page  usable in Arachne?
I isolated the page but could not make out a drinkable coffee of the 
java-script site :-(
Question #2: Where is this page comming from?
Well it is not comming if I switch off the power supply of the modem/router.
So the page to connect/disconnect is generated by the router/modem

Question #3: Is it possible to start the connection  by making the 
string that is generated by the modem and that causes the computer to 
make the connect string with a DOS command?
The string  to get the connect screen is:

http://speedtouch.lan/cgi/b/ic/connect/?nm=1&client=192.168.1.65&server=198.18.1.8&event=DNSSpoofed&url=www.msn.nl/

(www.msn.nl is preprogrammed URL on the internet)

Is there a way to send this kind of strings from the DOS commandline to 
the modem/router (without windows) ???
Regards, Bastiaan
