Could I confirm - can a machine with a Unipod and a PC card access the
internet in PCPro?

thanks,

It should be able to, but not at the same time as RISC OS, which would
make it very limiting.

What? The machine? It has two network cards. What's stopping it?

It mustn't be available to RISC OS as I understand it.

No. If you mean via the Unipod. I had to go back to an I-cubed network
card. Then you can have the PC card and RISC OS side online at the same
time.

Is your Unipod flashed with the network modules? On starting PCPro I
get the same error as if I had virtual interface off.

You only specified a Unipod, no mention was made of an ethernet podule
or NIC.

If you've got two network cards the only issue may be which one
PCPro's NetLinks decides to use. The interface name can always be set
manually if it makes the wrong choice. To do so edit:-

!PC.PCBits.NetLinks.Startup

commenting out:-

Run <Obey$Dir>.ScanDCI4

and inserting

Set Diva$SuggestedInterface e<X><N>

where e<X><N> is an interface name such as eh1 or ex0

It has the networking one(s). Which doesn't support eh virtual. Unless
there's a mod I'm missing.

It's something that annoyed me - when I purchased it it wasn't made clear
it wouldn't work with my PC card as well. I naturally assumed it would
have at least the same facilities as my older I-cubed. There was really no
point in my paying the extra for the network module.

I just get "unable to load dynamic link library msnp32.dll
The system cannot find the file specified
Some or all of the following feature is not available
Microsoft Network"

That's one better than RISC OS reporting "cannot receive frames" but
is this likely to be something W98 has broken itself spontaneously as
it seems to or is the problem with network cards?

Only NIC-0 is ticked in !configure interfaces and flags are set as
"-deh1" with interrupt 5.
