Can not connect to TCP/IP - DHCP Client

(1/2) > >>

Martin Iturbide:
Hello

I have a x64 tablet that only has wifi, so I installed ArcaOS 5.1.1 without network. I added "Null" when it asked me for network devices.

Now I finally got my hands on an USB to Ethernet device with an ASIX chipset.  (ASIX AX88772).
On Network Adapters I added the USBASIX.OS2 driver, added IBM TCP/IP and rebooted.

The USBASIX.OS2 loads at boot, the lights of the USB Ethernet device blinks. But I get no IP on ArcaOS.
TCP/IP Settings are on LAN 0 Enabled and Automatic, using DHCP.
No IP to the router. (192.168.10.1)

DDNS Configuration tells me: MSG07. Configuration Failed: DHCP Client has not been initialized by a DHCP Server.

Any ideas what else can I test to find my issue?

Hi Martin,

First test: assign your device a static IP address rather than DHCP. Then, from an OS/2 Command Prompt, trying pinging that IP address - that will tell you whether the TCP/IP stack is fully functional.

If you can't even ping your own IP address then you have a TCP/IP stack problem and we can investigate further. If you *can* ping your own IP address then try pinging your router next. That will then tell you whether you simply have a DHCP issue.

Good luck, and let us know the results of that!

Richard.

Hello Richard

I set a local IP.  It pings to the local IP that I had assigned (192.168.10.109), but If I disconnect the USB-Ethernet it keep pinging right.

There is not access to the router 192.168.10.1.

Hi Martin,

That's odd, I would honestly have expected it to *stop* being able to ping its own address when you disconnected the device. I'm afraid I don't have one of those USB-to-Ethernet devices so I can't do any further testing with you, hopefully someone else can help further!

Richard.

Martin,

  With the USB ethernet attached and driver loaded and IP set to static, open a command prompt and type 'netstat -r'. What do you get?
