Not that I really want to use it...
But I read it was possible if I checked
the boxes shown below :

But all I get from Ibrowse is :

Have you got the bdsocket.library in your Libs: drawer, and usenet.device in your Devs: drawer?

I was going to try this out myself at some point. I may give it a go and see if I get the same..

Of course it works:
Don't remember if bsdsocket is ticked by default but that's it. It just works.

That does not mean that it doesn't work. It just says that www.ibrowse-dev.net is not known. Make sure that Windows is online and check with your Windows browser if www.ibrowse-dev.net is available. Perhaps you better try www.google.com or the like.

If you had looked on my screenshot you would know it

thomas · 08 February 2015, 23:56

Your screenshot does not show anything about Nobby's internet connection. How could it?

Disable uaenet.device, but leave bsdsocket.library checked in.

I've got all checked in there and internet works very well.

Probably some security software that needs to be told to allow winuae net access.

You should never have them in LIBS: or DEVS.

Naturally I meant this availability generally, nothing else

That it's available for you does not mean anything for Nobby_UK. Different country, different ISP, different DNS, different home network, different computer.

Checking internet access with one web page only is not very meaningful, especially as TCP/IP seems to work ok, it's just the DNS access which failed. Knowing whether the same works on the host OS is an essential step of the problem investigation. If the host OS fails, too, then it is not a WinUAE or AmigaOS problem.

Knowing the status of Ibrowse development it's not so certain if that site is available...
OTOH Google is indeed a sure bet.
