Hi Peter,

The order of the 2 does not appear to make much difference on my
machine. Right now I have them switched to:

dhcpstrt -i lan0
...
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1

just as you suggested. However, my router still does not register this
computer (the OS/2 one) as an attached device. Nevertheless, I now have
DSL service on this computer through the router and inspite of what it
says about the devices.

The trick in getting the DSL and JunkSpy both to work was not the order
of "dhcpstrt" and "ifconfig". Instead, it was the use of DHCP, instead
of a fixed IP device (so that router could issue and the computer could
accept a dynamic address) and the removal of all routes in the TCPIP
config notebook (so JunkSpy would work with DHCP activated).
