--- Code: ---CALL=X:\OS2\CMD.EXE /Q /C X:\MPTN\BIN\MPTSTART.CMD >NUL
--- End code ---
in config.sys with MPTSTART.CMD calling X:\MPTN\BIN\SETUP.cmd

--- End quote ---
The line is there, and yet the DHCP monitor has "DHCP client is not running".. When I run DHCPSTRT, the first line in the monitor is "initialized interface lan1"...

Dave Yeo:
Do you have 2 network cards installed in the VM? Can you post your x:\mptn\bin\setup.cmd?

I even have 4... First one I keep for NAT, the others for bridged mode - second one for docking station wired, third for laptop's wifi, fourth for laptop's internal wired. I swap second and fourth when I have wired ethernet on the go, without my docking station.

Contents of setup.cmd:

route -fh
arp -f
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
REM ifconfig lan0 nil metric 1 mtu 1500
REM ifconfig lan1 nil
REM ifconfig lan2 nil metric 1 mtu 1500
ifconfig lan3 192.168.1.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 1 mtu 1500
REM ifconfig lan4 nil metric 1 mtu 1500
REM ifconfig lan5 metric 1 mtu 1500
REM ifconfig lan6 metric 1 mtu 1500
REM ifconfig lan7 metric 1 mtu 1500
dhcpstrt -i lan1
REM ifconfig sl0
ipgate off

You might want to add "-d 0" (without the quotes) at the end of the line with dhcpstrt. That parameter specifies the maximum time dhcpstrt waits for an IP address from the DHCP server. Specifying 0 (zero) makes it keep on trying in the background (so effectively no maximum wait period after which it gives up).


--- Code: ---dhcpstrt -i lan1 -d 0
--- End code ---
(note the space between d and zero)

CalYY:
 I need to have below at end of startup.cmd to get full performance:

if exist %etc%\inetcfg.ini CALL inetcfg.exe -set all
call d:\mptn\bin\setup.cmd

you may need a dhcp line as well if does not start from elsewhere
