Dear Steven, dear "group"!

Just the FIRST hint was a full success, thanks a lot, dear Steven, the hint
with the IRQ for receiving data with the 3C589D combo was the hit!

I added via MPTS, Adapter and Protocol Configuration, Stage3, EDIT, the
Interrupt channel to irq 3, the I/O base address to 200, OK, SAVE, REBOOT ...
working perfect now with DHCP and everything!

So my feeling is, at the beginning of ANY TCP/IP related problem solution
published should be a note: "Check your irq (and baseaddress) for your NIC".

Kind regards, many thanks!

Gerd

Just a note, too, for Amateur-Radio Operators, I do have a few excellent OS/2
programs for many applications in ham-radio. vy73
