[Bell Historians] THE BELL NEWS INDEX CD

[Andrew Bull]

You may have a point here, David, but the DwebPro program uses the web
browser via TCP/IP, and the IP addresses used by the program are in the
range defined for use with private networks. The web browser should not look
out at the internet for an IP address in this range - it would be the same
as using a web browser to view a JPEG or GIF graphic file on the hard disk,
for example. The message that Alan gets is "The connection was refused when
attempting to contact 127.0.0.1:7925", which suggests to me that some form
of security program is preventing the web browser from accessing the Bell
News content. Alternatively it could be a virus, or one of the many
quirks/bugs/corruption issues that still dogs Windows.

"From what you told me, I can only conclude that
there are some technical issues with your PC/system software, and that
something on your machine is preventing the DVD from running properly."

Could it be that the computer is configured to try to automatically connect
to the internet when the web browser is opened?
