Hello everybody.

I just bought a Netgear wireless router to connect my four desktop PCs
(one completely working under eCS, the other three are yet to be built
and setup with eCS or Linux/BSD) and the mobile systems (some old 
laptops and a little tablet). It has four Ethernet sockets, so I can 
connect those to the PCs.

It seems, though, that I can't reach the router with eCS. I tried some
different approaches, making sure that the router is configured as the
old Netgear I'm still using, but without results. The router works, 
and the wireless section is OK (I can reach it with my little tablet 
and even browse the web/read and write email).

So I tried to use it setting eCS in DHCP mode, but at startup I find 
the DHCP client waiting a minute without getting an IP. Then the 
bootup stops, even if I wait after the error message pressing the 
Enter key to let the system continue booting (as it happens for a 
normal CONFIG.SYS non-fatal error).

I read something on the web about DHCP and eCS, but it seems to me it 
should be really straightforward, so I'm a little puzzled.

Do someone of you use eCS with a router set as DHCP? 

Thanks in advance.
