To use networking with OS/2 Warp 4.0

OS/2 Warp does not support Plug and Play networking. Please note the following
limitations:
If you are using OS/2 Warp and you are connected to a network, make sure you
are connected to ac power. If not connected to ac power, the OmniBook times
out after 3 idle minutes, and you will lose your network connection. When
connected to ac power, only the display, keyboard and mouse power down
You are always connected to ac power while docked.
If you are using OS/2 Warp and you are connected to a network, you may
encounter problems if your hard disk drive powers down frequently. To prevent
hard disk drive power-down when on ac power, do the following:
1. Reboot the OmniBook.
2. When prompted, press F2 to enter the System Configuration Utility.
3. From the Power menu, choose Power Controls.
4. Uncheck Hard Disk Power Down When On AC Power.
5. Click OK.
6. From the Exit Menu, choose Save and Exit.
7. Click OK to confirm.
If you are using OS/2 Warp on a network, we recommended that you totally
power off the OmniBook when connecting or disconnecting from the network.
If you disconnect from the network before shutting down OS/2, you will receive
multiple network errors and your OmniBook may lock up. You must reboot
