Lewis, 

Since you brought up the Cmd files to switch the DHCP between
interfaces, I'd like to revisit the subject.  I just returned from a
trip where I had easy access to both a wired and wireless connection. 
All attempts to use commands distributed here a while back to switch
the interface failed.

Just so we're all starting from the same place, here are the specifics
of my configuration and the command files:

	Configuration Information

LAN-0:  Wired     DriverName = E100B$

                  DHCP active.

LAN-1:  802.11b   DriverName = PRISMP$
                  TCP/IP
                  NetBIOS for OS/2

So, what am I doing wrong?
