Very Computer

I've seen untold troubles trying to setup a SLIP connection that assigns my IP
dynamically.

I have read ALL the FAQs, I have read the NET-2 text, I have read the text
that accompanies the DIP-uri program. I have also modified various sample
scripts that I have found to suit my system.

I have been successful at initiating a dip script that dials my SLIP router,
makes a connection and logs in. I CAN ping my provider, but nothing else.

It seems that internally, my system doesn't know I'm connected. I'm using the
Slackware release from Walnut Creek (the Toolkit). NET -2 is installed.

Also, some of the files that I was supposed to edit (according to the NET-2
guide) simply did not exist on my system. Some were found in different
directories, and the others I just created and saved where the guide said they
should've been.

Can someone please help? I'm actually considering going with SUN OS for pc
($99) soon-- 0r the free copy of OS/2 that I just picked up for free.

  What version of dip?  Does it send a 'bootp' packet at the server?  If
not, you need to send it one so it will return an IP address to you.

What do you use in your script to send the bootp packet?  Just bootp?
Thank you for your time.

You can't fully appreciate computer space through windows.
Well then, ahead Warp factor 3.0

I really appreciate your help (and everybody else's), but after 3 weeks of
trying to set up this SLIP connection I am getting a LITTLE doubtful. I was
able to do it in Windoze in 15 minutes!!!

Any other ideas?
