Are you certain that you don't have two active DHCP servers on your network?

    

Yes, otherwise I'd see it on the windowlist, right?  Just the linksys providing dhcp.

  
Which windowlist? How is your LinkSys connecting to the rest of the network?
Thanks for info on perimeter, I guess I better look at the linksys setup again.  It has worked fine for years with the XP machines and this is really the first time I've tried to use dhcp w/ os/2 other than when traveling with the T61 (and it is usually a headache for me because it is set to static - that's why I'm trying to set it up to work on dhcp).

  
I rarely have DHCP issues under OS/2. Interestingly, I happened to expose a bug in XWLAN with my whopping 2MB hosts file. There is an option in XWLAN to append the router/AP IP to the hosts file upon connection, with the host name "router." Unfortunately, Christian's original logic for parsing the hosts file took so much time, that it was five to ten minutes before I had a usable DHCP configuration over the air. I finally figured it out while at Warpstock, and Christian sent me a workaround until his next drop of XWLAN (and yes, there is a new drop coming down the pike).

Other than that, however, DHCP on OS/2 is fairly stable, with the annoying limitation of only being able to dynamically address a single interface (for some reason, known only to g-d). However, when considering the left-brained setup which Windows uses, where it is nigh on impossible to configure aliases and multiple DHCP interfaces (or mixed DHCP and static - which we tend to take for granted), I don't comlain. XWLAN works around the issue quite nicely.
It's been working fine (only tested ethernet so far) now that I have turned the radio off and added route cmds to the bottom of mptstart to overwrite the incorrect default gateway.  I find this as an unsatisfactory kludgy solution but it will allow me to move on for the time being.  I'll have to revisit this problem later.

  
Indeed. I'll be interested to hear what you find. Tell me, does your wired interface still have a null MAC address? I expect that it does. Perhaps we shouldn't discount that oddity as we examine things further.
Thanks, Jon

  
Anytime.
