If WATTCP is working correctly you don't need the other lines in your config
file beyond "my_ip=dhcp" as they are filled in if DHCP works. As has been
discussed here before some versions of WATTCP support DHCP and some don't. My
guess is that yours does support DHCP since if you didn't have an IP you could
not get to the roadrunner search.
You mention MTCP.CFG -this is the config file for MTCP, not WATTCP. The two
packages are very similar but they have different configuration files. WATTCP
and MTCP differ in that WATTCP will provide DHCP services within each
application (like Arachne) while MTCP has a stand-alone DHCP program which then
updates a config file and all other MTCP apps (like Ping or FTP) assume that
the IP is static. One way to remove some uncertainty from your WATTCP
configuration is to adopt the MTCP DHCP method.
In order to do this you would have a very basic MTCP config file (I think the
minimum is the interrupt vector - would be nice if this were not needed :-) and
then run the MTCP DHCP program. Everything from your DHCP server (ie your
router) will get dumped into the MTCP config file as well as show on your
screen. You can then update your WATTCP config file to match. This can be
automated in one of a couple of ways I can share with you if you are interested.

Subject: [Freedos-user] Arachne Troubles
Hey,
I was finnaly able to find a packet driver for my DOS computer (ethernet
connection), but for some reason Arachne shows the main page, but when I try to
go to a different page, it brings up a "roadrunner" search thing. I tried to
edit the wattcp.cfg file, like so:
my_ip = dhcp
netmask = 255.255.255.0
gateway = 192.168.0.1
domain_list = www.rr.com
I had to use our mac to find out our router ip (it was under "dhcp" as
"router"). I put the ip under the "gateway" section, which I don't know was
correct. Anyway, it didn't really work, so I'm at a loss of what to do next.
Arachne is at least able to connect, so I did something right. Also, what does
the mtcp.cfg file do? I know it has to do with ping and other such things, but
how do I use it? And how did it look originally (I accidently did something and
it made the file blank)? Any help on any of these questions would be wonderful.
Thanks!

I'm doing this on the honour system. Thanks! Again!
