You need to buy AmiTCP if you don't want to wait around for the window.

But the ifconfig problem suggests a misconfiguration.

I would guess that either,

WaitForPort is failing - check that you have Waitforport in your
                         SYS:Rexxc directory and that it is in your path.
or

You have 'Run >NIL: AmiTCP:AmiTCP' in your Startnet script.

4.0 demo should not be 'run' (unlike the other versions).

The line should simply say 'AmiTCP:AmiTCP'
