What I do is boot to windoze and write down the IP, Gateway and DNS servers then boot back into OS/2 and manually enter these and modify the Subnet mask so that my IP address is on the same network as the Gateway/Router. Then everything is fine. What I don't understand is how/why a Windoze box access a router outside its network.
