Networking / Re: New installation OS/2 CP2 - not able to see internet

Hi ddan,
You have twigged a memory - perhaps I did use my old 3com card to get on the net. I will try that out this weekend and see. I hope it works. This is frustrating. OS/2 has always been so simple to operate.
Thanks,
Mark

Mark,
My LANTRAN.LOG is nearly identical to yours posted, only three lines. Skip that.
But your network card is obviously not working, somehow.
Everyone installing any version of OS/2 should have a 3COM 3C90X card to put in at least temporarily in order to avoid exactly this situation with many unknowns, and to be able to get on the net to download the right driver and tools. Also have in hand a floppy with the following files: el90x.os2, el90xio2.nif. 3COM cards have ALWAYS worked for me on a variety of systems.
I'm usually upgrading when installing. After the system is up, I install some version of NetDrive, and via FTPServer, copy everything from the old system except the system files. A Firefox installation, complete with extensions, bookmarks, passwords, and preferences, comes across in a few seconds rather than an hour or so of re-installation.
