First of all, technically you should be using 192.168.x.* for a 255.255.255.0 
subnet mask, but never mind.

Sounds like you've got routing set wrong in OS/2. Check for the "route" 
command or similar (I'm not particularly familiar with OS/2's networking)
It'll still be able to ping 10.2.2.1 because the packets will get routed via 
the loopback device, not your ethernet card.
