I presume that you are using a TCP/IP stack and packet driver that work
with other programs and that you have checked that the nameserver,
gateway, etc. are correct in WATTCP.CFG. I would suggest using the TRACE
mode (^T), to see what is happening internally. If you can't get it to
work, try sending us information on the TCP/IP stack and packet driver
and the batch file that you are using to run lynx. Also send the the
lynx.tra file. Be sure to remove any passwords and other sensitive data.

Could it be something simple, such as your nameserver being down or your
ISP temporarity losing connectivity with the net?
