G'Day!

  I have recently had cable internet installed (Optus@Home, in
Australia) and configured OS/2 to work with it.  Although it seems
to work fine, after the network card drivers (SMC) load during bootup
I get the message

  bind(): Can't assign requested address

I then press "enter" as requested and continue to boot.  I am using
OS/2 Warp 4 FP 11 with TCP/IP 4.02W.  DHCP (without DDNS) seems to pick
up all its configuration settings correctly so everything seems to work
OK, it's just that there's this annoying message on boot-up!

Any ideas on how to eliminate this nuiscance message?  Any help is
greatly appreciated - thanks!

What does the \IBMCOM\lantran.log file say?

  Finally found the problem - SYSLOGD was loading before DHCP had
assigned the new IP address on bootup, so the syslogger was trying to
bind to an invalid IP address.

  Thanks for offers of assistance!
