Subject: PC-Pine 3.96 w/ winNT and win95

I installed PC-Pine on my NT 4.0 Workstation and have it running
perfectly.  I then went to install PC-Pine on a couple of Win95
workstations, and they get a Host Not Found error #11002.  It works
perfectly on NT, but can't find the host on any win95 machine.  I can
telnet, ping, etc, but no PC-Pine.  I searched the UW website without
finding anything.  Is PC-Pine looking for a specific network setting
that telnet & ping wouldn't use (thus might not be configured)?

Any ideas?

Server info:
UW Imap4 server
Unix Pine 4.02
dgux 4.20mu02 (intel)

Chris,

I had a similar problem, and the solution was to install the imapd
on my Unix server.  If you have already done so, you can see if it's
running properly by telnetting into it (port 143).  If you get a 
response of:

* OK <server-name>...

then you should be OK.  If not, check your Unix server for errors in
starting the daemon.

Good luck!

The Imap server works fine with PC-Pine on NT, or Netscape, or Microsoft
Outlook (Gasp!).  Just not PC-Pine under win95.  I copied my pc-pine
"pinerc" file and everything to the win95 machine.  No luck.

Here's the end of my pinedebug log.

Aha!  Your host was not found...may I suggest you enter the host in the
host file of the PC, or if you're running DNS, tell your PC which host is
the DNS server.  Look for the file hosts.sam on your PC if you're not running
DNS, and create a file from it called hosts (no tail, same directory).  
Enter your hostname and IP address seperated by a tab.

I'm not at home right now, but I had pc-pine working great under win95 and
now win 98. I'll try to remember to look at my settings when I get home.

Ok, this was odd enough...  I was using the IP number in the pinerc which
worked under NT, but under win95 it was reporting Host Not Found.  So,
just for kicks, I set pinerc to the full name (not the IP) and let the PC
do a DNS lookup.  This worked.  

Anyone know why PC-Pine 3.96 would do this?  At least I have a solution.
:)
