I am working on a AT&T 3B/4000 machine running on UNIX SYS V Rel 3.1.5.
We are currently running ENHANCED TCP/IP WIN/3B Rel 2.1.1.

We are using a Class B internet address, and we would like to set our subnet
mask to 255.255.255.0 instead of the default 255.255.0.0.

I am quite surprised that our WIN/TCP package does not have the "ifconfig"
command, although the "route" command is included. Or have I missed anything?

Thus, I wonder if it is possible to set the subnet mask without the "ifconfig"
command.

Had anyone encountered this problem?  If so, please reply directly to my
BITNET address, as I am not monitoring this list.

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
