I will try to do that shortly but I have a hard time believing it to be InJoy
related. Considering that every other computer in the house is connected to the
Internet via this gateway/InJoy combo (even a Windows station for when I have to
do job-related work) and none has any problem even remotely similar to this, I
have to focus on the one machine with the problem. Logically speaking, don't
you think that follows?

One thing I've been focusing on is the TCP settings. I used the other OS/2
machines on the network as the model for the setting on the eCS machine.
Unfortunately, the eCS Java I/F settings dialog doesn't allow me to quite get the
settings to look identical to the native TCP/IP config box of the OS/2 machines.

Generically, the settings for the machines on the network should be like the
eCS settings of the target box below (only pertinent values are included, non
mentioned ones are blank):

Enable TCP/IP Interface: Manual IP 192.168.1.14, Mask 255.255.255.0
No broadcast or destination address specified, Metric count, MTU 1500
No advanced options enabled except enabling IEE 802.3 interface
Two routes specified:
1) Type: default, no destination address, router address 192.168.1.1, Metric
Count: 1
2) Type: net, destination address: 192.168.1, router address 192.168.1.1,
Metric Count: 1
Name Server Addresses: 216.171.167.11, 216.171.167.12 No LAN Domain Search
List specified
Local Domain name: oco.net (my ISP's domain)
127.0.0.1 Local Host

However, all the OS/2 boxes have a net mask in the "net" route of 255.255.255.0
(setting number 2 in routes). The eCS box doesn't allow such a setting. If you
add a "net" route manually, it expects a 4 number IP address (most likely
192.168.1.1) compared to the 3 number set (192.168.1) of the OS/2 boxes. If you
create the "net" route automatically (which I had been using) from the default
setting, it puts in the proper 3 number set but no net mask. Could the
difficulty lie here? Are there any other problems with the IP settings you see
above? Do you have any other ideas? Otherwise, I guess I have to do IP tracing
on the InJoy gateway machine and I'm not sure what I'll be looking at - oh well,
I guess that's what the mailing list is for.

Thanks for the help ... again.
