Hi Harry
Setting up a LAN has 2 important components: HW & Setup !
Steven mentioned Chuck McKinnis website !
That's a good reference.

Myself I just changed from my elder SMC 10MB NIC's
to Intel PRO 100 NIC's which I bought new from eBay ;-))

The second component is how to setup the LAN.
Judy McDermott has written a helful textfile "How To !"
Here is the link:

http://www.moon-scape.com/warp/files/lan.txt

It is easy to understand and describes the setup of an OS/2
workstation as also an WIN95 workstation.

Another important topic is either "cabled" or "wireless"
but I do have the normally cabled LAN and no experience
with "wireless" till now.

In Germany is ARtem and they shall have OS/2 drivers for
wireless components !?

With my next move I perhaps may change to wireless too
it will be more safe till then ;-)

Good luck !
svobi
