| I have been trying to get broadband internet access through an ethernet card on my Warp 4 computer. It doesn't quite work, though. When the computer boots, it gets to a point, after the ethernet driver loads, where it says, "DCHPSTRT: DHCP client did not start. Press Enter to continue..." I know the ethernet line is working, because I'm able to use it in Virtual PC using Windows 98. What could be wrong? |

Hello Dan, you don't need DHCP, if you don't have a DHCP-Server in your Network, like in a DSL-router or so. When you want to connect to your internet provider, you establish a PPP connection(over Ethernet). And there you get an IP-address similar to DHCP.

| I had that message after I had DHCP installed and before I had my cable modem. Does it say it is running in the background? Once I installed the cable modem (turning it on; if it is in 'off' or 'standy' mode, I still get that message) and started my computer, there was no messages about the DHCP (not usually, unless I did not turn on the cable modem when I booted my computer). Do you have the right kind of network cable? How fast is your network card?

| No, it's not running in the background. It says, "DCHPSTRT: DHCP client did not start. Press Enter to continue..." I know the ethernet card is fast enough, and I have the right driver. I just can't get DHCP to start. |

| I think the message you are getting may be: "DCHPSTRT: DHCP client could not get parameters - continuing to try in the background. Press Enter to continue..." If you press "enter" and continue on to the WPS - there is Try looking at your SETUP.CMD file - look for the line that dhcpstrt -i lan0 and change it to: dhcpstrt -i lan0 -d 5 This will keep it from hanging you up at the pre-WPS for a Also - run TCPCFG2 (or TCPCFG on older OS/2 versions), and |

| Just a note, on the first page of the TCP/IP Configuration utility (TCPCFG.EXE or TCPCFG2.EXE, as mentioned previously), make sure that you have the following: 1) "Enable Interface" checked; 2) "Automatically, using DHCP" selected; (it's a Radio Button) 3) "LAN Interface 0" selected; as you probably have only 1 NIC --- Tim H Cardozo OS/2 SIG of the Sacramento PC Users Group SIG Leader |

Sorry, but that's not the message I get. It is as I have written it in this thread.

| OK, well - not knowing what version of OS/2 you are running, or the network card details, or what level of TCP/IP you are at - it's hard to get down to real specifics in the way I'd hope to. But here is a google link that walks through the setup in a fairly detailed way: |

| OK, i'll put my 2 cents in here... I have (DSL) running thru a Wireless router.. the signal from the DSL modem to the wireless is ethernet. the wireless side has a DHCP server built in... For an ethernet connection you only need to setup a PPPoE.. unfortunatily I do not think that os2 alone, even with tcp\ip will support DHCP in that manner... I had to send my wireless router back, for a new one, and during that time, I had the dsl moden directly connected to my laptop via pcmcia ethernet modem... I also had to use the INjoy PPPoe software... 30 demo version... When you setup the DHCP in your TCP\ip config.. you should have no other settings... and you must have a corresponding adapter in place along with its protocols.. always check your " Lantran.log" when you get error messages during bootup.
