Good points, Christian. I should have thought farther through this 
situation.

Kris, could you run "inetver" from the command line and post the results 
to the list? We may need a stack update (that would be simple, now 
wouldn't it?). For reference, I'm running close to the latest stack on 
this ThinkPad:

[C:\]inetver
Version numbers of TCP/IP protocol drivers:
   SOCKETS.SYS: 6.3100
   AFOS2.SYS:   6.3100
   AFINET.SYS:  6.3100

Also, my relevant info from dhcpcd.exe (from MPTS 6.01):

5-21-04  11:11a    256127           0  dhcpcd.exe
