Keith & Neil,
OK. I've been using the built-in NIC by itself in my ThinkPad T22 running MCP2
for some time, so it was already set up as the Intel Pro PCI adapter as
adapter# 0, with protocols OS/2 Netbios and TCP/IP.
In preparation for the Cisco 350, I had to first add the OS/2 Card Services as
described in the Cisco 340 driver's readme.txt. Then using MPTS, I added the
Cisco 340 as adapter# 1, with protocol TCP/IP.
Previously assigned under TCP/IP config notebook: Lan0, the built-in NIC, has a
static IP address of 192.168.0.11 The IP address of my LinkSys Router at home
is 192.168.0.1, so I had also defined a default route to it. Accordingly,
here's my setup.cmd file, which didn't change BTW after installing the 340:
(this file is located in \mptn\bin; written by tcpip configuration notebook;
REM lines have been removed for readability)
---
route -fh
arp -f
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
ifconfig lan0 192.168.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 1 mtu 1500
route add default 192.168.0.1 -hopcount 1
ipgate off
---
So when I boot, the built-in NIC gets configured with a hard IP address and a
default route to my home Router 192.168.0.1. Whenever I go to the office, I
run the following cmd file to switch over to its Router at 192.168.0.99:
--- SetRoute-Work.cmd ---
route delete default 192.168.0.1
route add default 192.168.0.99 1
ping 192.168.0.99 56 1
pause
Then when I return home, I run this cmd file to put things back:
--- SetRoute-Home.cmd ---
route delete default 192.168.0.99
route add default 192.168.0.1 1
ping 192.168.0.1 56 1
pause
I hardly ever boot my ThinkPads... I always Suspend them and they will
automatically do the ThinkPad Hibernation if I don't Resume within 90 mins.
OK, now for switching over to use the wireless NIC. First, here's what my
routing looks at home with my cat5 cable plugged in to the built-in NIC:
---
[C:\]netstat -r
destination router netmask metric flags intrf
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 1 UGSP lan0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 0 UH lo
192.168 192.168.0.11 255.255.255.0 0 UC lan0
---
Now, I unplug the cat5 and insert the Cisco 350. Card Services plays a beep
and the lights come on. Now, I have to delete the default route because it's
pointing to lan0 (which is now unplugged):
route flush
Now I have to delete lan0 entirely (just downing lan0 doesn't allow the new
default route to point to lan1).
ifconfig lan0 delete
I have my LinkSys router setup for a DHCP server, with IP address set for .100
and above. I want the 350 to use DHCP, so I issue this command:
dhcpstrt -i lan1
After a few seconds, that command completes. My routing now looks like this:
---
[C:\]netstat -r
destination router netmask metric flags intrf
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 0 UGP lan1
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 0 UH lo
192.168 192.168.0.101 255.255.255.0 0 UC lan1
---
That's it... I'm now surfing using the LinkSys Access Point attached to my
LinkSys Router.
Putting things back is pretty much the same. Now I have to create some command
files to automate these steps.
HTH,
