subject: DOS nic

I am trying to replace my dial-up scripts/programs with ethernet under native
MS-DOS 6.22. I have a working packet driver (3c90xpd.Exe) for my working nic
(nic works great under Win98SE on same box) that loads but it does not create
the requisite IP-UP.BAT file for the apps to use. The nic is connected to a
router so the IP address may be fixed (?).

These are all Wattcp apps that I run and depend on the wattcp.cfg file which is
built dynamically from scripts during the packet driver load process (hence the
need for IP-UP.BAT). Where do I go from here? I cannot see any option or locate
a program that will create an IP-UP.BAT file with the required variables. Help!

p.s. if IP addresses (local & remote) are fixed and I therefore need a static
IP-UP.BAT, where do I obtain the addresses from? The info program for the nic
gives all the hardware info including mac address, but no IP! I can write a
program or script to pull the addresses if I could just discover them!
