Hi all, today i've decided to work on my 286's network functionalities today. A while back I installed a new old stock DE-220PCT network adapter for it. Today i've gotten around to getting this computer working on FTP using mTCP, but I just can't get anything to work right. I installed the packet driver at interrupt 0x62 and mTCP is able to find it. In the setup program, i've configured the network card to work at i/o base address 300H and IRQ 9. I have plug and play mode off and full duplex on. Before, I had it on IRQ 10 and full duplex off and it still did not work. I've set up everything correctly in the config I think, and I added my computer's mac address and gave it a static IP in the DHCP config. I have the config file set up with all of these parameters. When I run any program for mTCP, it says my DHCP lease has expired. But when I run DHCP, everything times out. At the end, it says my card is recieving packets but the DHCP server is not responding. I have this computer hooked up to a 5-port 10/100 Ethernet switch from Tenda. I've been working on this issue for quite a while and have always burned out on fixing it. I assume the answer to this problem is really easy, but I can't seem to figure it out. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
