If you're using PPPoE, then you need to start some sort of supporting program
to authenticate you (like PPP over a modem). You probably don't use it, because
you'd know if you had to deal with it. That is the right file, and I believe
you would have to have a line with something like "ifconfig lan0 192.168.0.1
-mtu 1492" when using PPPoE. You'd have to do an "ifconfig -?" from the command
prompt, I don't have an OS/2 box here to check. In any case, this is probably
not your problem.
