    Recently I have not been able to log onto any addresses. I get several different excuses: "user unable to log on" "Error -3155" "might be too busy" or just the dog running and going nowhere fast. As I understand, this could be a Open Transport problem. I updated to Open Transport 2.6 but that didn't seem to help. I'm on OS9.0 so I updated to 9.1 with disastrous results. The OTGlobLib went bye-bye and I had major extension conflicts with many applications on my drive. So, what now? I do have to go through a proxy server, but supposedly the settings are all correct, according to our administrator. I can get email and get out on the internet just fine. Can you help me? Thanks.

    That sounds like a bunch of problems, so lets try to take them one at a time. Can you post a transcript of an attempt to connect to the server you're most interested in using?

    Thanks,

    Thanks for your reply. It seems that I fixed it anyway. I had to reinstall my OS9 software and then I updated Open Transport to 2.6 (still not the latest, but it's OK). Then I reset the settings in fetch and now it seems to be working. I hope it lasts. If not, you'll be hearing from me. Thanks again.

    Help! I'm experiencing the -3155 error too. What do I do?

    Is this a new problem? Can you post a transcript?

    Thanks,

    Yes, this is a new problem. I'm not sure what you mean by transcript, but I'll describe what happened:

    I wanted to establish an ftp connection with an outside host. On my G4 Mac (OS 9.0.4) I opened the New Connection window in Fetch 3.0.3 and entered the Host, User ID and Password from my outside host (he said I didn't need to enter anything in Directory). When I clicked OK, all I got was the -3155 error message.

    My outside host got these results when he FTPed from a DOS Window on his PC:

    C:>ftp 198.173.20.112
    Connected to 198.173.20.112.
    220 ProFTPD 1.2.0 Server (Welcome!) [suse2.infinitehost.com]
    User (198.173.20.112:()none)): informinc
    331 Password required for informinc.
    Password:
    230 User informinc logged in.
    ftp>

    Does this clarify what my problem is?

    The transcript is displayed in the Fetch Transcript window, which you can open from the Window menu.

    Are you connecting through a proxy server?

    I'm not sure about the proxy server -- I will check.

    When I tried the connection just now, the transport window said:
    Connecting to 198.173.20.112 port 21 (8/10/01 19:03:30)

    yes, it is a proxy server. Why does this make a difference? (excuse my ignorance.)

    You will probably need to configure Fetch to use the proxy server. Do you know what kind of proxy server it is, or what its name or Internet address is?

    Thanks,

    The address of our proxy server is 207.226.253.3. I'm not sure to answer your question of what kind of server it is -- do you mean brand name?

    I hope this is enough information...please let me know if not.

    Yes, I mean the name of the software or hardware that implements the proxy server. One example is Microsoft Proxy 2.0 for Windows NT Server.

    Thanks,

    I would recommend reading this item in the Fetch FAQ: http://fetchsoftworks.com/Support/faq.html#how9 . Let me know if that does not help.
