Hallo all,

I have start a project with the ASINet Library.

I will use the LoadFromUrl comand in the program.

content = LoadFromUrl(
'localhost/scripts/cgi/dwis_scan.pl',,,,,'POST','BEFEHL=Test' )

My problem is, this will start the "dial-up connection" from my computer. Is
this normal ?
In the case of cancel the dial-up dialog the variable content is NIL.
In the case I connect to my provider then the program work fine.

In the help stand: "If there is no TCP/IP connection but the computer is
configured for a dial-up connection via modem, the operating system will
open the dial-up dialog to establish a connection."

What is the TCP/IP connection in the case I work to a local Webserver ?

With the ipconfig /all command can I see my IP-Adress.

Who can help me ?
Thanks
Steffen

You need to setup your computer to use a gateway.  Open up the dialog for
your network connection properties, and select "Properties", then select
"Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" from the picklist, and click on "Properties".

Set the "Default Gateway" to the ip address of your gateway machine.

Uninstall the dial-up networking services?  Why do you need tham anyway, if
you have a LAN connection?

As a backup in case the internet drops out.

If setting the gateway does not help, it's a configuration problem.
(it does not send dns-requests to the gateway first)
I know how to solve it in linux, but not in windows.

Probably your comp is searching for dns, and it will do as follows:
- searched cached data
- search your hosts file
- then ask the dns-server

IOW. you could see if the line
127.0.0.1        localhost
is present in your hosts file, you can find that file under 9x in the
WINDOWS directory, and in the WINNT\system32\drivers\etc
on NT-class machines

It probably is there.

Then you could try and replace the localhost in your url with
127.0.0.1
This will probably not help either.

Then you can set in the extra/internet-options/connection of
the internet-explorer "Never choose a connection".
You probably don't want that either, but AFAIK these are the options.

HTH,

In the same dialog where you entered the gateway information, make sure you
have your dns servers setup.  These should normally be the same as the
gateway.  If you don't have these setup, Windows will have to dial out to
find a dns server.  Once setup, the gateway will provide dns resolution and
a path to the target machine through the gateway.

Thanks Frans for reminding me.
