Hi guys,
My Ethernet cart from Tecnobytes (Obsonet2 compatible) arrived and I managed to set it up, download things and do other network stuff.
From Lavandeira's blog I learned to bring the interface up, receive an IP addr from the DHCP server and adjust the MSX date and time:
ramhelpr i inl i sntp a.ntp.br -02:00
The odd thing is: when I manually run these commands from the prompt, they work fine. When I put them in a .bat file and run the bat from the command prompt, it ALSO runs fine. If I use these lines inside autoexec.bat OR call the .bat file with them from autoexec.bat, however, the execution stops after ramhelpr, and inl is never executed (nor is anything after it).
It came to my knowledge that ramhelpr is able to execute other commands after it runs, so I made the following workaround in my autoexec.bat:
ramhelpr i inl i & sntp a.ntp.br -02:00 & echo & reboot %1
That solution, however, is annoying me, because I don't think it is nice to have all the remainder of autoexec.bat nested in ramhelpr's line.
Has anybody experienced such problem and discovered a good solution?
PS question, somewhat related: How can one test the system date's day and month (and possible weekday) from a MSXDOS batch script? That would help me test for daylight saving time and adjust the timezone (and time).

so no use of this commands until I get it working again.
