I am trying to configurate TCP/IP in OS/2 but
it's not working. It only "see" 127.0.0.1 and
itself but not another PC's in the same LAN.
Any suggestions?

I have the same kind of problem when trying to browse the network, which consists of me on my trusty Warp 4 and the rest with Win95. The problem seems to be a setting called LM Announce. Without it, OS/2 clients cannot see the Win95 clients. Turning it on slows down restarts at them with over fifteen seconds, which is unacceptable - you *do* restart a Win95 PC often. It seems to be the only solution, unfortunately.

Can you "ping" any other addresses? How do you want to see other machines, by sharing resources with them? Do you have NETBIOS protocol installed?

Check the SETUP.CMD file. If you are running v4 then it will be \mptn\bin, if 3 then in the \tcpip\bin. It should look something like this:

route -fh
arp -f
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
ifconfig lan0 206.28.15.22 netmask 255.255.255.0
REM ifconfig lan1
REM ifconfig lan2
REM ifconfig lan3
REM ifconfig lan4
REM ifconfig lan5
REM ifconfig lan6
REM ifconfig lan7
REM ifconfig sl0
route add default 206.28.15.254 1
route add net 206.28.15 206.28.15.254 1 netmask 255.255.255.0 > null
ipgate off

The IFCONFIG statement is VERY important and then the ROUTE to your GATEWAY is important to get out onto another network.

good luck,
tom
