In the file called install.fil, your archive directory won't be correctly input; you have to modify this file by hand. I believe the newest version also handles fixpak zip files. I got this info from some helpful sources. I used QF last week to install FP11 on my laptop and I'm going to use it to install FP12 soon on my desktop.

The easiest & quickest way that I have found is to download the *.zip files from the RSU site and then follow the instructions given in an article by Walter Metcalf. http://os2.miningco.com/library/weekly/aa111898.htm BTW, don't bother with FP11, go for FP12 -- Dave --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: CDL (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: jmcnamar@optonline.net 10-Oct-99 16:21:23 To: All 10-Oct-99 16:28:10 Subj: cable modem configuring From: John McNamara I have a Optimum Online Cable modem hooked up into a ne2000 ethernet card. Can anyone please point me in the direction on how to configure this so as I can access the Internet thru my Cable Modem. The NIC is set for IRQ 10 and IO 0x300. I installed tcp/ip on the Warp 4 box and tried to configure it t no avail. Any help or shoves in the right direction would be appreciated. Alose are there any FAQs out there on this subject re: Configureing Network Adapters or Configuring Cable Modems ?

Any help or shoves in the right Note that there is nothing inherently different about a cable modem and a router, which in essense it is. What you have to do is first make sure that you NIC is configured properly along with Warp's software. Did you choose the Networking install? Does the NIC driver load properly at boot? The first thing I would do is check your networking software setup. Run MPTS to check for basic networking commponents. remove all transports except for TCP/IP if there are others. It is much easier to get one working properly and then install others that are needed. Once you are sure that the basic networking components are installed and configured properly then go to the TCP/IP configuration notebook and configure TCP/IP. Make sure that you include the loopback adapter. It will allow you to check your TCP/IP configuration locally. You should be able to do a successful "ping localhost". Once you get this working then set up the parameters that your ISP has given you for DNS, whether or not to use DHCP or a static IP address your domain name, possibly a host name, a gateway/router address. >direction would be appreciated. Alose are there any FAQs out there on >this subject re: Configureing Network Adapters or Configuring Cable >Modems ? There are lots of pages with info about cable modems, some that come to mind: for RoadRunner info - http://Larkin.NuclearWinter.com/rros2/ Connecting a home LAN to the Internet : http://nateliskov.ne.mediaone.net/network/homenet.htm General information links: Warp on the Net - http://www.nfwa.com/os2/ Once you get the above configuration done and have perused the links, if you still have problems get back to use with as much information as possible. I am sure we will be able to point you in the right direction.

Make sure you have the latest updates to the TCP/IP stack and MPTS, then configure the LAN card for DHCP. That's all you should have to do!
