On my system the client start command is DHCPSTRT.EXE

The files that I have on the system are as follows:
----------------------------------------------------
[C:\mptn\bin]dir dhcp*.*

The volume label in drive C is FDISKC.
The Volume Serial Number is E7B2:8014.
Directory of C:\mptn\bin

12-14-98   8:51p     13213          35  dhcpcd.bak
12-16-98  12:06a     13235          35  dhcpcd.cfg

12-10-97  10:56a     75892         230  dhcpmon.exe
12-10-97  10:08a      4026           0  dhcpmon.ico
12-10-97  10:08a     31878           0  dhcpstrt.exe
----------------------------------------------------

I hope this are the correct files?

It's funny, but I can get a response from a telnet, but nothing from ftp..etc.
AND the DHCP Client just will not start.

BTW: I do seem to have the latest and greatest 3Com509b driver (v3.1).  I'm
only using the TCPIP protocol.
