I am having the exact same problem, using PC-NFS 5.1, MSDOS 6.00.
It does connect successfully the very first time it is configured,
and then never again afterwards until I delete the PINERC file
and start again. In my case, the imap server is fine, as we have
lots of Unix pine 3.91 users connecting to it also. Can't
figure this one out...

Can anyone make a suggestion or tell me where to find a dos version of
mtest... though if it can't find the host, there's no way mtest is going
to work.

Thanks for ANY help,
