Well, if the setting is win98 instead of win2k, than the output differs
a little. The program tries to connect to a http server and gets the
HEAD of the server / page. That's what's actually doing. Right now it
just fails, i.e. no connection, so there is one (even iexplore connects
happily). <br>
<br>
I think this is a problem of the ?Unimplemented or unknown socket
level? and returns a error. This is what the program checks. So if it
could fetch the HEAD of the server, everything would be fine, if not,
it sounds the alarm.<br>
<br>
I tried contacting the author, but no reply as of now....Maybe we can
just satisfy the program in an other way, i.e. return it a socket? Any
ideas?<br>

But the program is "Lanwatch". A nice little app, which makes a lot of
noise (if configured correctly) when the Internet connection goes down.
I used it for years, but now we've got rid of the last Windows here....
I have other network monitoring tools, but it's just the acoustical
waring, for which I used it...I'll just attach it to the mail, OK?
It would be great, if there could be a fix for this....Also I contacted
the writer of the little app, but didn't got a answer...
I think, that it just tries to open a socket (with correct or wrong
parameters), and than gets a back a error and reports (wrongly) that the
Internet connection is down...It might be easy to fix (or hack
workaround) for it, just if you can lead me to the solution?

The same output as Space Empires 4. The unknown optname 65407 or 0xff7f,
is suspiciously looking like the option SO_DONT_LINGER, 0xffffff7f, with
the high bits chopped off. Both these calls fail under Windows (win2K).
It is a good idea to ask the programmer, to see what he is trying to
accomplish here.
Also note that these errors may not be fatal at all if the program is
just ignoring them. Letting the program going through I see a fair bit
of data exchange, so communications seems to work, at least partly.
