Hi guys, Have just got broadband through Bigpond and I'm missing something in the TCP/IP configuration on OS/2. I have an ADSL modem that acts as a DNS on 10.0.0.138, which is linked to a router on 192.168.0.1. I can get to a web site if I type in the IP address, but when I enter a URL it takes ages to resolve the address. Not being a network guru - it's all a bit confusing. I'd really appreciate any assistance. Regards David

I'd really appreciate any assistance. I would try setting the dns on the OS/2 pc to the IP of the bigpond server and see if that helps. Cheers, Paul.

I successfully use Bigpond adsl with os/2 or eCs 1.2 for years now. Check that the bigpond adsl modem is set to act as a dhcp server - it is the default setting for the speedtouch 530. If your modem acts as a dhcp server you may have a conflict with your other router. You probably only need a switch not a router to connect to the speedtouch modem. I recently had problems with the adsl modem and had to replace it with another brand. I use it in conjunction with a wired switch and wireless switch for wireless netwroking under OS/2.
