   I googled, read and re-read on the topic.  I made my OS2 box not work   
   following the instructions I read up on.  All I wanted to do was run FD/2   
   FE/2 and IRex2 so that I could send and receive mail... and as a result of my   
   efforts I couldn't do a thing   
      
   Doing this DHCP thing allowed me to do so.  Most of the heavy lifting I do   
   with computers I do with Windows... I have no problem there.   
      
   Anyway, there are a few things I am doing.... one is learning Linux via my   
   Raspberry Pi... I may just put my desire to play with OS2 on the back burner.   
      
   Thanx
