subject: Question on OS/2 Lan

Ok all - Question

I have Os/2 Warp 4 (Basic, or Warp Server for E Business, but Vanilia Warp 4
is installed, plus fixPak 11)

I am trying to setup a TCP based network where Os/2 is the server. Here's the
situation:

2 Machines: OS/2 Box has the modem. Win98 box has no modem. Both machines need
access to the intenet so I want to configure the Os/2 box as a Gateway for
the 98 box. 98 Looks to Os/2 for TCP packets, and OS/2 looks to the dialup
connection established. However, when I enable the NIC in the Os/2 box, I can
use MS's Peer to Peer networking fine, but trying to ping the IP I assign to
the NIC results in Network is unreachable.

I have the Netmask on both boxes as: 255.0.0.0 And the 98 box is:
10.0.0.10 while the Os/2 box is 10.0.0.5

Anyone got any tips? As I mentioned, I have Warp 4 installed, but if it would
be easier and/or more efficent to use Warp 4 Server for E Business, I have
a copy of that too.

Thanks!
