It sounds like you did not install the networking part of OS/2. I
don't see that you have told us what flavor of OS/2 you are running.
That will make some difference in further advice that can be offered.
Warp4? eCS (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, etc.)? Essentially you need to add
networking support from your installation CD. Let us know where you
started from, and we can tell you which way to proceed.



I have added an ethernet card and LinkSys router. From my reading of
the documentation, it appears that I have setup everything as far as
I can before RR is installed.

Physically I believe I have everything I need to setup for RR. I am
pretty sure that it will work with Windows/XP. In any case, how do I
add networking support to my OS/2 system? I tried doing a "Selective
Install for Networking" using my installation CD, but that bombs off
with an error 3 (whatevr that is), and I have to restore my desktop.

I have a program "TCP/IP Configuration (Local)" that, when invoked,
brings up a TCP/IP Configuration Notebook. This appears to want to
configure LAN networks, but I don't understand the questions enough
to check the boxes or know if this is what I want. I suspect that
this is for when I have LAN already installed, and from what you said,
it appears I do not.

As I mentioned, I am on Warp4 with the latest fixes.

Please, how do I add LAN?

Thanks.
