- How Do I Connect To Internet
- Posted by gregoryhouse4@gmail.com on May 30th, 2008
I have OS/2 Warp 4 installed and I want to access the Internet through a
router. Can anyone give me any info on how to configure OS/2? The router
acts as a DHCP server so the IP address can change. Thanks.

your NIC must pass the install as reported in \IBMCOM\Lantran.log. If
that is okay, then you need to open the TCPIP configuration(local) tool
found in the System Setup folder (the little red toolbox icon). There
on the Routing tab you set the first LAN interface(0) for enable &
automatic setup and click upon the loopback tab at bottom of the list
box to open the loopback page and click upon the enable check box, &
manually and enter 127.0.0.1. On the Host Names tab page enter the name
that you wish to call this computer by, and in the Local Domain Name
enter some name that please you to call your LAN. Now click upon the X
on the upper right corner to close and click upon OK to save the data.
You have configured your machine. A reboot may be needed to get a
lease. Congrats, and I hope you can find the last updates for your
machine. <http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-browse?dir=/pub> may have them.
PS. Please add to config.sys this:SET hostid=localhost
Some obscure bug trips people from time to time and this fixes
(bypasses) it.

I have never had much luck getting warp4 to use DHCP properly. It
*might* work, if you get ALL of the latest updates installed, but you
will, probably, have better luck by assigning a static address. Just
figure out what address range the router assigns, then make warp4
close, but outside, of that range, and it should work. For instance,
if the router assigns addresses in the range:
192.168.1.20 to 192.168.1.40 make warp 4 use a static address of
192.168.1.5
Hope this helps...

ISTR that out of the box there was a some kind of problem with the DHCP
support, where it wouldn't work properly in some environments. I don't
remember any details, though.
With the latest 16-bit MPTS and TCP/IP fixes, it should work OK though.

Yes, with MPTS WR_8423 and tcpip fix for dhcp, both still available
from IBM:
ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com
/ps/products/mpts/fixes
/ps/products/tcpip/fixes/v4.0os2/latest/dhcpclient
8423 is a full MPTS package. You need the fixtool 141, which is in
8425.
