I googled, read and re-read on the topic.  I made my OS2 box not work
following the instructions I read up on.  All I wanted to do was run FD/2
FE/2 and IRex2 so that I could send and receive mail... and as a result of my
efforts I couldn't do a thing

Doing this DHCP thing allowed me to do so.  Most of the heavy lifting I do
with computers I do with Windows... I have no problem there.

Anyway, there are a few things I am doing.... one is learning Linux via my
Raspberry Pi... I may just put my desire to play with OS2 on the back burner.

Thanx
