Thanks in andvance for any help! Please reply to me by E-mail at:

Since I installed C-Kermit 5A (191) for OS/2, I have had problems
changing the configuration of IBM TCP/IP 2.0 for OS/2. It appears
that C-Kermit somehow affects the paths used by TCPIPCFG.EXE
(the TCP/IP Configuration Notebook object). When I edit and save
my TCP/IP configuration, the files written are: (my emphasis)
D:\TCPIP\DOS\BIN\TCPSTART.CMD ????
D:\TCPIP\DOS\BIN\SETUP.CMD ????
D:\CKERMIT\TCPSTART.CMD !!!!
D:\TCPIP\BIN\SETUP.CMD (OK)
(I expected both files to be written only to D:\TCPIP\BIN.....!!! )
I keep a shadow of D:\TCPIP\BIN\TCPSTART.CMD in my Startup folder.
Thus changing configuration doesn't change what gets started.
Here's the weird part: the TCPSTART.CMD file written to BOTH places
(D:\CKERMIT and D:\TCPIP\DOS\BIN) has in it: (my emphasis again!)
echo CONFIGURING TCP/IP .....
IF EXIST D:\CKERMIT\B4TCP.CMD CALL D:\CKERMIT\B4TCP.CMD !!!!
IF EXIST D:\CKERMIT\SETUP.CMD CALL D:\CKERMIT\SETUP.CMD !!!!
echo ..... FINISHED CONFIGURING TCP/IP
and:
echo ..... FINISHED STARTING THE TCP/IP PROCESSES
IF EXIST D:\CKERMIT\TCPEXIT.CMD CALL D:\CKERMIT\TCPEXIT.CMD !!!!
echo ..... EXITING TCPSTART.CMD .....
1.) Since B4TCP.CMD, SETUP.CMD and TCPEXIT.CMD are not in the
D:\ckermit directory, they never get executed by the TCPSTART.CMD
created by TCPIPCFG.EXE. (SETUP.CMD just has useless stuff in it
like "ifconfig", "route", etc.!!!!! Nothing important!!!)
2.) How did C-Kermit manage to change the path used by TCPIPCFG.EXE
to store its files? There's no environment variable that points
to D:\TCPIP\BIN; do I need one? Or is there a .DLL that is found
and its path used?
Why is the storage path for TCPSTART.CMD changed but not the path
for SETUP.CMD?
Are there any command-line parameters to TCPIPCFG.EXE to tell it
explicitly the path to use for SETUP.CMD, TCPSTART.CMD, etc.?
I tried changing the "Working Directory" in the program object,
but that didn't change anything.
I have it configured manually, but it would be nice to be able to use
the Settings Notebook and have the changes work!
