There are routers that do not properly configure OS/2 DHCP requests. I used to have one.
It usually only requires that you put a default net route to the router's IP into the OS/2
TCPIP config to get everything working. Failing that, the router's IP in to the DNS
entries on the OS/2 box.
If his connection is not working with the router than he must also not be using straight
DHCP without preset IP addresses or the router you are using isn't serving more than 1 IP.
Julian, while you are there, why not run some speed tests. I would be curious to see how
OS/2's stack and not that adjustable RWIN reacts to a 30mb/s line. http://infospeed.verizon.net/fttp/speedtest9000k.asp ....(I'd frankly be surprised if it
got over 15mbs, even if you have a newer machine...)
