DHCP should work. If it does not, configure TCP/IP control panel manually for the slirp networking:

IP Address: 10.0.2.15
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Router address: 10.0.2.2
Name-server address: 10.0.2.3

Hello
When I disabled AppleTalk (via Apple menu and controlPanel with Appletalk submenu), indicating that Ethernet was the right channel, It started to work (using DHCP)
I think one link was missing within Mac OS9 and has been connected with this configuration
It is just strange that IP address given by DHCP server (10.0.2.5) is not within range of my internal network (192.168.10.XXX)
But it seems to work!!! Again a problem solved
Thanks a lot for your Answer
Regards

Yes, you need to keep the default Ethernet setting.
It is just strange that IP address given by DHCP server (10.0.2.5) is not within range of my internal network (192.168.10.XXX)
The slirp networking behaves as a built-in router that connects to the network (wired or wireless) that the host machine is connected to.
