Thanks for the advice. I have since connected under Windows but cannot get it to work under OS/2 using the Injoy Firewall 1.4 product. Can you give me any hints on how you got it connected using firewall? I have it setup using ethernet. I have tried all the settings. I will be receiving ECS 1.1 soon so if Injoy doesn';t work then I hope ECS will otherwise I am stuffed.
