You shouldn't need *any* IP address or gateway address.

"In" as in "Indian" seems to be what is on their page.

Because NIE was written in 1997. The net now is a lot different from the net
in 97.
There is a feature in NIE that will let you monitor the login process between
your Newton and the remote side. Go to Internet Setup, open your Earthlink
setup, tap on the Login Script, and then select "Display Script Activity".
Then, next time you try to connect there'll be another window visible and you
should be able to see where the login is failing and also exactly what
Earthlink is sending.
