NTOOL is a WATTCP application itself, one that is linked to a relatively recent version of the WATTCP library that does support dhcp properly. That means, it will try to get its ip parameters from dhcp if the WATTCP.CFG file it finds at program start tells it to do so by specifying "MY_IP=DHCP" or if it doesn't find a WATTCP.CFG file at all. In this case it will write something like "Configuring through BOOTP/DHCP" to the screen. If on the other hand it finds a WATTCP.CFG file that defines a static ip address, then it will simply accept this setting, assuming that you know what you are doing. Nevertheless NTOOL -g " " will output the actual ip parameters that are in effect in this moment. So if NTOOL just tells you "MY_IP=0.0.0.0" without any message about using dhcp, then you probably have a WATTCP.CFG file somwhere which defined that address. Probably you just copied that file from somewhere and failed to adjust it to your personal needs. Try to find that file and make it "invisible" to the program, by re-naming it or by deleting it completely. If that helps, you could even try whether you need NTOOL (or any other external dhcp client) at all. Perhaps lynx just has the very same problem? If the lynx version you use, is also linked to a more recent version of WATTCP, then it could do this all by itself. It not, you could still use NTOOL. ___________________________________________________________ Empfehlen Sie WEB.DE DSL Ihren Freunden und Bekannten und wir belohnen Sie mit bis zu 100,- Euro! https://freundschaftswerbung.web.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
