AFAIK, squeak knows nothing about modems...it only communicates with the
windows socket APIs.  You will need to connect to the internet prior to
running Squeak in order to access any internet resources.  Does the Mac
attempt to establish an internet automatically when calling socket APIs?

I should have noted earlier that squeak makes no attempt to connect to
the modem. This is true even when trying to load the latest code
updates. However, I just recently connected manually before entering
Squeak and was able to use scamper to download pages as well to download
code updates.
 
The problem is related more to an inability to connect the modem not
download pages once connected. Any suggestions as to where to look?
 
Thanks, Tim

Hi, Tim -


This could be a Squeak error, but the same thing happens to me sometimes
because of other (eg name server) problems.  Are you able to access this
page using other software?

Help:

 

I recently downloaded Squeak 3.0 to use on Windows 2000 Professional. I
am unable to connect when launching scamper. The error message below was
copied from scamper. Could anybody point me in the right direction to
resolve the problem ? I have never had this problem when running Squeak
in any version on my Macintosh.

 

 

error occured retrieving  <http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak.1>
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak.1: Could not resolve the server
named: minnow.cc.gatech.edu

 

 

Thanks, Tim
