    From Ib Joe@1:342/200 to ALL on Mon Jul 9 14:02:14 2018
    I have been playing with OS/2, and I have installed the new Arca OS.... and I have been having issues with setting up the networking side of the OS.

    I am not getting it... and I have messed things up alittle. My goal is to asign an IP address to the OS/2 VM so that I may communicate between devices/VMs ...

    Are there some links or 5 minute calls that can be had??

    Thanx

    Which VM solution are you attempting to use? With OS/2 under VirtualBox, it's a little bit tricky :) So best to stick with ArcaOS for that setup of you want
    something that doesn't take a magical incantation to get things working :)

    Getting a little busy... I had to set down playing for a bit... :( I managed to find a work around... not what I wanted, but I'll have to stick with what
    I have got going for now. I'm like a dog chewing on a bone.... Just can't
    seem to drop things. I may have to for a few months though.

    Thanx
