It's been a long time since I last used OS/2 but now I tried my hand at installing eCS 2.1 on a Thinkpad T41 (2373-tg5). The install works fine, when done and telling it to strat networking automatically I can't ping anything. I get a sendto: No route to host.
This is with a wired connection, it says during startup that it can't load drivers for the wifi so thats a later problem. I have a green light on the wired etehernet port so I have physical connectivity.
Checking TCP/IP configuration it tells med LAN Interface 0 is enabled and should get an address via DHCP.
The DHCP client monitor tells me: DDNS hostanme not registered (normal) and IP address Not Configured (not quite normal). Status: Discovering DHCP servers. Linux/Windows/OS X hosts get addresses just fine via DHCP.
Looking at the Details view in the DHCP Client Monitor tells me:
Sending DISCOVER message.
Number of options requested=6
And it does this with three minute intervals (appx).
I'm probably doing something wrong at a basic level here but need some hints as to what's wrong.
