Not mpts. That is used to check network settings for protocols mostly.

Come on its not that difficult to find, press F1 for help and use some
of the search options.

And otherwhise look at your desktop ? What do you see on a standard eCS
installed desktop.
Local System, Local Network, Internet and Programs, Templates, and
trash can.
Well you won't find it Templates or Trash can, 2 down 4 to go. Open
local network and you will see within about 1 minute its all related to
file and printer sharing. Not configuration to set TCP/IP settings. 3
down, open programs. Internet clearly only has dialing tools and
browser.

What left is local system system setup.
What folder has been around since OS/2 Warp 3 at least ? "System
Setup".
Where to find it ? Right click with the mouse on an empty part of the
Desktop and in menu that pops up click "System setup".

In System setup is also a folder called "Network". Look there.
