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.

Hi Ddan and Jep,

Many thanks for the responses. I do have a router. And I can't communicate with it using that address. However I can communicate with it when I swap out the hard drive for the Windows and the Linux drives.

Anyway, am off for a week and will respond more fully during the week of 7th July. Hopefully I will have positive results by then given your kind suggestions.

Many thanks,

Mark

Andi,

I spent 1 hour adding data to this message board only to have it time out. Frustrating.

===========
Anyway, LANTRAN.LOG:
LT00073: FFST/2 is installed but is not started. LANTRAN.LOG is being created.
IBM OS/2 LANMSGDD [11/02/01] 6.0 is loaded and operational.
IBM OS/2 LAN NETBIND

SETUP.CMD reads:
rate -fh
arp -f
ifconfig lo  127.0.0.1
REM ifconfig lan0
...
REM ifconfig lan7
REM ifconfig s10
ipgate off.

================

Hope someone has some suggestions. The TCP/IP settings don't hold (ie does not hold the automatic setting but goes back to manual.)  I've added the mac address to the network settings and the boot screen messages appears to recognise the network card (built in).

I installed that protocol. I note, however, that when I set the TCP/IP Local - LAN interface 0 - Automatic DHCP, after re-boot it reverts back to manual.

Hello David,

Many thanks for the reply. I could find no driver on the Lenovo site but did download the legacy driver from the Intel site for the pro100/pro1000 (an on-board NIC). I installed it using OS/2's network adapter service. After re-boot, still no connection.

This is frustrating given I had it running wonderfully before. Wished I kept notes.

Hello,

My OS/2 CP2 system crashed and I reinstalled the OS from CD. All went well but it cannot see my internet connection (high speed DSL direct connection). I've selected TCP/IP Local - LAN interface 0 - Automatically DHCP. I thought that is what I did last time and the system worked perfectly.

Any suggestions?

System:
IBM ThinkCentre S50 8086-36U
Intel Pro 100 1000 built in NIC

Thanks,

Mark
