In OS/2 Warp, how does one define a default gateway?

There is a way throgh the GUI, in Warp 3 or 4: tcpcfg.exe (but
in the later versions of TCP/IP like 4.1 - 4.3, it's TCPCFG2).

Or, edit the SETUP.CMD file in \mptn\bin = look for these lines:

route add default 192.168.2.1 -hopcount 1
route add -net 192 192.168.2.1 -netmask 255.255.255.0 -hopcount 1

On my system, for example - the router on my local network is
192.168.2.1 (more complex situations, like multiple subnets,
require slightly more complex configuration).

Thank you. Sounds like what I'm looking for. I'll give it a try
tomorrow.

In the example you have, where you are describing the contents of
the SETUP.CMD file, what do you put in to set that traffic is to go out
through a router and then out to the Internet?

In re-reading your message, I see what you are doing. Forget my
earlier message.

I have tried going through the GUI and it hangs. Seems like an old
problem that IBM never fixed. So, I will edit the SETUP.CMD file.

Well, here is what I have for a SETUP.CMD:
route -fh
rem arp -fh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
ifconfig lan0 192.168.1.90 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1492
ifconfig lan1 192.168.1.91 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1492
route add default 192.168.1.254 -hopcount 1
route add -net 192.168.1 192.168.1.254 -netmask 255.255.255.0 -hopcount 1
ipgate off

With this I can ping another system on my lan but connect countact
anything outside of the router. The router's address is 192.168.1.254

Any ideas?

Thanks!

You may have to reset some of the router's defaults. Eg, my router would
block all incoming until I set it to direct-connect to the internet.
Just a thought.
