Kirk,

From an OS2 command window, type in  TCPCFG
This gets you into the IP setup.
On the first tab (network iIrr) make sure the option to use DHCP is selected.
Also, you should see a 'loop back' choise.  Select it and make sure its
enabled with address 127.0.0.1

In the next tab (routing), I have 3 routes set up.  The all point to my
router's address (192.168.1.1)

DEFAULT only has 192.168.1.1 (no other settings)
There are 2 NET settings
NET has 192.168.1 for the Dest and 192.168.1.1 for the router and 255.255.255.0
for the sub net mask
The 2nd NET has 192.168 for the dest and 192.168.1.1 for the router. (no other
settings)
All 3 have METRIC 1

When you finish, close the screen to save the changes.  I generally do not let
it start the messaging thing it asks next.

When you re-boot, you should get an IP address.  From the command window use:

NETSTAT -A

to display the IP address, it should show 192.168.1.??? and 127.0.0.1

Post any other messages you get at bootup if it doesnt work
