Thnk you Virginia. the ATT gateway is 192.168.1.254.
Do I need an os/2 file to make DSL work?
Many years ago Gary Wong said he was using this setup.cmd file in
mptn\bin:
route -fh
arp -f
ifconfig 1o 127.0.0.1
REM ifconfig lan 0
REM ifconfig lan 1
REM ifconfig lan 2
REM ifconfig lan 3
REM ifconfig lan 4
REM ifconfig lan 5
REM ifconfig lan 6
REM ifconfig lan 7
dhcpstrt -i lan0 -d 45
REM if config s10
The file supposedly goes in tcp/ip notebook settings which I can't find.
Please clarify this for me.
