Do you really mean DOSLYNX.  It is obsolete and will not work at all with
many sites (e.g. the virtual sites run by PSI in the UK).

If you mean the recent ports of Unix/VMS Lynx to run under DJGPP, read on,
otherwise fetch one of those (version 2.8 should be current).

Not without more detail, such as the URL attempted, and the trace log (t
on the current Lynx).

Any DOS packet driver application will not co-exist with winsock on the
same device without a lot of technical hassle (and even then the
documentation for PKTMUX, which you would need, warns that it can never
work particularly reliably).

You probably need to go to Win 95, to allow the use of the Win32 ports of Lynx,
or run a pure DOS system (Win 3.1 ports have been discussed and it may be
worth checking the archive to see if any got produced).

See other recent articles for the main Lynx web sites.
