But no matter what I try, I can't get passed the WiFi connection build up under OS/2. scan.exe proves I got a connection, but I can't get an IP address with dhcp from the printer. Even not if I use all those tricks that normally work on Windoze based networks. Anybody got any suggestions? Also, when will they fix that silly lan+1 error that creaped back into the latest version of XWLAN? __________________________________________________ Hi Rick, I would have thought the printer would need a static IP address rather than trying to use DHCP. This is the normal approach for network printers. You don't say what model HP printer it is that you have, but I hope it's not a Host printer (aka Win Printer) where the driver on the computer creates the actual printer commands rather than using a protocol - these generally don't work under OS/2 or eComStation. And what is the LAN+1 error that you refer to on XWLAN v 3 - as I'm having problems getting it to work also - perhaps this problem is relevant to my setup as well ? Cheers/2 Ed.
