Hardware: IBM PS/2 70, Western Digital WD 8003 Ethercard Plus/A, Thin Ethernet
Server: 3Com Etherlink Plus (to the Ethernet), WD 8003 (to the main network)
Software: OS/2 v1.1, TCP/IP v1.0
Server: Interactive sysVr3 rel. 2.0.2

Problem: Cannot connect the PS/2 to the network. TCP/IP seems to find the 
route alright, but none of the services seem to work - they start, though. 
I'm using the server address as the default route, metric 0, netmask 
255.255.255.0, broadcast should be alright. I have configured Communications 
manager properly, I have tried both IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet DIX v2.0 -options. 
No deal.

I have the ps/2 ip-address and name in the /etc/hosts -file of the server, 
should I configure some kind of hosts file to the workstation itself for 
it to work?

Is there something I should config more? I followed the TCP/IP configuration
guide really closely, but there seems to be no explanation to this error.

If anyone has experience of installing os/2 computers to ethernet? Any idea
where I went wrong?
