Problem resolving host name with WebPositive

Forum thread started by tcg on Sun, 2011-12-04 17:52

WebPositive works for reading a page of file:// designation but not http://. I get the error message "Couldn't resolve host name". I am using a router. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am doublebooting with Kubuntu using grub. The grub setup worked perfectly.

Check Network Preferences and see if your network card is listed.

If it is, try setting a static IP and manually enter your gateway and dns IPs --- see the Kubuntu network set-up if you don't know the IPs for these.

If not, what kind of network card do you have? It may not be supported in Haiku.

Good Luck

I am having the same problem running Alpha 3 in VirtualBox on OSX. Network preferences has nothing listed under devices but a network controller does show up in Devices and VirtualBox shows an active internet connection going to the VM.
