Network Manager dies, OpenServer 5.0.4

[Brandon Nuttall]

Greetings.

I am trying to get an OpenServer 5.0.4 machine to connect to the
Internet through an existing gateway (a Hawking router w/DHCP) rather
than through its own dedicated modem. The documentation says I should
be able to change these settings through the Network Configuration
Manager; I can successfully start the manager, but when I try to
modify the driver settings in my network card's chain it fails with
the following error message:

prompter(SendRequest): BackEnd script died
Error in /opt/K/SCO/tcp/2.1.1Eb/usr/lib/tcprt/bin/sco_tcp.BE
Press Enter to continue

Can I change the gateway and DHCP settings for this interface without
restoring the system or using the network manager in any way?
Restoring this file from backups is possible but inconvenient.

Thank you,
Brandon Nuttall

I don't have 5.0.4, but on 5.0.6 I might try editing /etc/rc2.d/S85tcp
directly (back it up first).
Not exactly an official procedure...but it may help. Just an idea...
