Connecting to the internet through my local council LAN


 * OS/2 Warp with a cable modem.

This is how I connected to our local LAN internet with a cable modem.

After a many of years with really bad telephone conections to the internet I decided to go for the local councils LAN connection. They however do not support anything but Microsoft Windows. So I had to figure it out myself. The only information I could get was a usernumber and a password. I use OS/2 Warp version 4.52 with an ACCTON EN1207D-TX PCI lan card and a MOTOROLA SB4200i Surfboard cable modem.

First I tried to use TCP/IP configuration (local). I sat the connection as LAN 0. But that didn't really help.



No connection. What now? By looking at the DHCP client monitor I found the servers IP, Router and DNS numbers.



I then began to use these numbers in the following pages of the TCP/IP configuration notebook.









Next time I started my machine I got this!!!!!!!!!
