Dan, Dave seems to have covered everything very well but nowhere do I
see any mention of IP forwarding or ipgate on - without that the OS/2
box won't forward packets.  Run TCPCONFG  and be sure this box is
checked.  Altrnately,  cgeck in \mtpn\bin\setup.cmd and see if the
line "ipgate on" is there.  As a quick check, type the command from a
command line and see if the ping gets thru.

One more quibble.  This is not true for current versions of Injoy (1.2
and later).  The Ping packets get out quite nicely.
