    From IB Joe@1:342/201 to All on Friday, January 10, 2025 11:32:56
    I need a little help. I am mot proficient in OS2... a hack at best... I have a VM setup with ArcaOS and I want to set it up with a static IP.

    Is there a video one could send me a link to or something. Everything I have tried so far has not worked.

    network config is in C:\MPTN\BIN\setup.cmd

    you will need to comment out the line

    dhcpstrt -i lan0

    and uncomment/change the lan0 line:

    ifconfig lan0 192.168.1.123 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 0 mtu 1500
    ^--- your static ip

    this will get you on the local network

    and for your router, add at the bottom of the file:

    route add default 192.168.1.1 -hopcount 1
    ^--- your router

    reboot to test it works every time
