A few days go by and I'm asked to change my firewall rules because "possibly" IPv6 traffic is confusing the IP stack on ArcaOS. More time goes by and I'm asked to create a TCP dump. Reset the router (FreeBSD running IPF) and same problem continues. A few days later I'm asked to reset my router because that could potentially be the problem according to tech support. Unlikely since I used the same cable in the same port for another laptop with another OS, but I bought a new cable and plugged it into a different port. Nearly 6 weeks later I'm asked to change the cable or maybe I have a bad port on my switch. Had me try changing the setup in a config file and still dropped the network. I found the HP desktop and the Lenovo N580 laptop both have Atheros chipsets. Ping of the gateway didn't work.ĪrcaOS and eComStation work fine on my IBM Thinkpad T60's. I check the network setup and it has an IP but I couldn't ping my gateway. Success! Now I could browse the Internet without much worry about the silent predators known as Windows viruses and malware.
Maybe 15 minutes later the installation was completed and two reboots later I had a desktop. I burned the iso to a DVD and began the installation. I had even purchased a Lenovo N580 for the purpose of running OS/2 on new hardware (eComStation doesn't run on the Lenovo). I waited patiently, checking multiple times daily, for weeks during their countless delays, until the official release where I immediately purchased by own copy of the new OS/2. Having a fondness for OS/2 I was elated to have an update being released by Arca Noae in ArcaOS.
