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:
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:
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.
