The only problem I have is that in some hotels the DHCP Server assign's 
me an address which is outside of the subnet of the router.  Windoze 
doesn't seem to have a problem with this.  After I manualy configure my 
setup.cmd with the proper subnet mask it usually works fine.

I have posted on this list several times why this is, but, never got a 
reply to the actual question.  It seems to me that the windoze DHCP 
client must get a subnet mask for the local IP address and a different 
subnet mask for the gateway.  Is it possible that the OS/2 DHCP client 
just isn't requesting all of the options that are required in these 
instances?
Thanks,
Sam
