SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable.... WHY?

[wel...@capital.net]

I had a working peer to peer w Merlin on both machines. Then made a few
changes in one of them. Now that one shows this error message

SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable.

while going thru the Config.sys and the network doesn't work.

I could reinstall the networking software but would like to know which program
in the config.sys is complaining. Okay, I could REM out all network lines and
reboot till I discovered the culprit, but I don't want to. Further, it may not help me
understand what this problem is, and how it can be avoided.

There's probably a line in your config.sys like:
CALL=C:\OS2\CMD.EXE /Q /C C:\MPTN\BIN\MPTSTART.CMD >NUL
This runs mptstart.cmd which calls setup.cmd or nbsetup.cmd.
It's probably the "route add" in setup.cmd that's causing the
message.

Thank you, Dan. Since I wrote the message I bothered to rem out lines in the
config.sys and discovered precisely what you described. Modifying the SETUP.CMD
did indeed fix the problem.

I wish to find a reference for OS/2 and TCP/IP and networking. Maybe I should
collect enough information and write one -- except that I would need the
reference to write it. :-)
