I posted a message a few days ago about OS/2 and networking.... no responce
... I figured a few tjhings out. I setup a static IP address through DHCP reserve through the modem rather than trying to figure out how to set the software up, OS, up..

I saw your message a few days ago but I have no knowlege about the new OS/2 or VMs.

Sounds like you are making progress though.. :)

It's Okay.... got it.... I did actually direct the last few questions
directly towards 2 people.... not a peep.... I posted my solution so that if there was anyone working on a similar problem they'd at know where to start looking.

I do this as a hobby, I work in an unrelated field, so I need to learn a
things I don't have a working knoledge in.

I like the solution I found because I can assign a static IP to any device on my network no matter what the OS is... I am playing around with several things... a Pi... Ubuntu ... Winows and OS/2... Now with what I have learned
I can set things up at the modem and not worry too much about learning the differences in the setup of the OSs

Thanx though

You can assign a static IP address by using the "TCP/IP Networking" object.

A search in Google using "how to set a static IP on OS/2" turned up several helpful answers.

At http://www.abiyo.net/os2/tcpipinos2 your question was answered in the first paragraph. :)

Later,

I googled it... followed what I could read on it and screwed things up completely. I found a better solution.... through the modem I can assign a static IP and attach it to a MAC address.... worked like a charm.

I now have learned how to use my modem to setup any device with any OS and I can assign any IP I want.

Thanx though,

DHCP reservation (it's not actually a static IP as you assign the IP from within the computer itself, not the router, for a static IP; a static IP is when the computer tells the router what its IP is...in this case, the router is telling the computer what its IP is) is a very nice thing. I use that heavily in my work when dealing with printers.

I googled, read and re-read on the topic. I made my OS2 box not work
following the instructions I read up on. All I wanted to do was run FD/2
FE/2 and IRex2 so that I could send and receive mail... and as a result of my efforts I couldn't do a thing

Doing this DHCP thing allowed me to do so. Most of the heavy lifting I do
with computers I do with Windows... I have no problem there.

Anyway, there are a few things I am doing.... one is learning Linux via my Raspberry Pi... I may just put my desire to play with OS2 on the back burner.

Actually, you should not have to do this as */2 pulls DHCP nicely. What version of OS/2 were you trying to install?

Peace,
