At this stage it is not clear whether this is a VPC or a Windows
problem.  Pinging the router -- which I had tried, of course -- does
not succeed and tells me "request timed out."

Since your Windows virtual machine connected with the router and optained its IP
address, wouldn't you think this is a Windows problem and not an OS/2 or VPC problem?

DHCP uses TCP/IP so it would seem that your networking is working and now you have a Windows configuration issue. My guess is that a Windows forum/list is now
a better place to look for a solution.

FYI, try pinging your router and /or also use that IP address in your virtual machines web
browser to see if you can get the managment display. If both those work, you've got
a DNS problem with Windows.


    

But surely the DHCP request has not failed since I do have an IP
address from the outside??

Make sure the address assigned is within the appropriate range - Windows has a
bad habit of quietly assigning a default IP if the DHCP request fails, leaving
you to shouting into a black hole..

        

I have Win 2000 running nicely under VPC 5.1 on eCS 1.2MR but am having
problems getting connected to the net.  When I type ipconfig /all in a
command prompt window I can see that I have an IP address from the
broadband router but I am unable to ping anything on my LAN, nor am I
able to use IE to get on the net at large.

Clearly there is a setting/step I have missed but what could it be?

TIA.
