ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Installing TCP/IP for OS/2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Installing the IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 program is simple.
1. Insert the first TCP/IP for OS/2 diskette in your diskette drive.
2. Type a:\install, and the TCP/IP for OS/2 window is displayed.
3. On this window, specify the drive and directory to which you want to
install the TCP/IP for OS/2 program. The default drive is the OS/2 boot
drive and the default directory is \TCPIP. If you have TCP/IP already
installed, you should install this product in the same directory.
4. After you have specified the drive, select the Options push button. The
Options notebook is displayed.
To close the Options notebook and accept the options that you have
selected, double-click on the notebook's system icon.
5. After you have specified the installation options, select the Install
push button. Another window is displayed. This window contains a list
box, which displays the names of the files as they are being installed,
and a progress indicator, which shows the percentage of completion for
the installation.
This window also contains an important push button.
Select this push button to view information about configuring and using
TCP/IP for OS/2.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Options Notebook - Packages Page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
On the Packages page, you can:
o Specify the drive and directory where you want to install TCP/IP for
OS/2. If you specify a Target Path in the Options notebook, it will
replace the path you specified on the main installation window.
o Select any components of TCP/IP for OS/2 that you want to install:
- Base applications, which include FTP, Telnet, SNMP and other network
management applications, and the TCP/IP servers
- Feature applications, which include WebExplorer, NewsReader/2,
Gopher, and the Internet Dialer
- DOS/Windows Access, which allows you to run TCP/IP for DOS or
Windows applications using TCP/IP for OS/2
- Ultimail Lite, which is an electronic mail application
The default is for all components to be installed.
The disk space required by each is listed beside the component.
When you have completed this page, select the tab of the next page.
When you are ready to save your changes, select the symbol at the top left of
the window. Then select Close from the pull-down menu.
If the drive in the target path does not have enough disk space available, you
will be warned. Also, you should ensure that the drive that has your swap
file has plenty of available disk space. On workstations with a minimum
amount of memory, OS/2 may need to swap the install program occasionally.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Target Path ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specify the drive and directory where you want to install TCP/IP for OS/2. The
default is C:\TCPIP. If you have TCP/IP installed on you workstation already,
the default target path is the drive and directory of the existing TCP/IP. You
should install TCP/IP for OS/2 over the existing TCP/IP.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Components ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Deselect the components of TCP/IP for OS/2 that you do not want to install.
The default is to install all components. The disk space required by each
component is listed beside it.

applications, and the TCP/IP servers.
o Feature applications include WebExplorer, NewsReader/2, Gopher, and the
Internet Dialer.
o DOS/Windows Access allows you to run TCP/IP for DOS or Windows
applications using TCP/IP for OS/2.
o Ultimail Lite is an electronic mail application.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Options Notebook - Network Page 1 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If you want to use TCP/IP through a LAN connection, select Configure LAN
interface and specify the following:
o Your host name
o The IP address of your default router
o The IP address of your primary adapter (adapter 0)
o Your network (subnet) mask
This information is optional. You can also specify this information after
TCP/IP for OS/2 is installed using the TCP/IP Configuration Notebook.
Some of the information can be specified during the configuration of
Multi-Protocol Transport Services (MPTS). It is recommended that you use this
configuration notebook rather than the MPTS configuration.
To configure your name server information, select the DNS tab at the bottom of
the notebook.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Options Notebook - Network (DNS) Page 2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If you want to use TCP/IP through a LAN connection, you can use this page to
configure the Domain Name Server (DNS):

o The IP address of your primary name server
This information is optional. You can also configure this information after
TCP/IP for OS/2 is installed using the TCP/IP Configuration Notebook.
To move to another page, select the tab for that page.
When you are ready to save your changes, select the symbol at the top left of
the window. Then select Close from the pull-down menu.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Also, using DDNS ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Also, using DDNS if you have access to a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server and if you are in a dynamically-updatable zone.
The next time you restart your computer, a DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System)
Client Configuration window displays. Use this window to configure your
workstation so that you can directly register your name and address mappings in
the DNS tables, rather than have a system administrator perform the updates
manually.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Manually, using IP Address and Netmask ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Manually, using IP Address and Netmask to manually configure TCP/IP on
your workstation.

This field is not available if you have not selected Configure LAN interface.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Netmask ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Using TCP/IP, you can divide a single network into multiple logical networks.
For example, an organization can have a single IP Address that is known to
users outside the organization, but it can configure its local address portion
of the IP address into a subnetwork number and a host number to represent
different departments within the organization.
The Subnet mask field specifies how much of the local address portion of the IP
address to reserve for a subnetwork address.
Specify the subnet mask in 32-bit dotted decimal notation.
This field is not available if you have not selected Configure LAN interface.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Domain ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specify the name of the domain where your host resides, including all
subdomains and the root domain, separated by periods.
A fully-qualified domain name is composed of a host name and a domain name,
separated by periods. For example, in the fully-qualified host name:
poe.eng.mit.edu
The host name is poe and the domain name is eng.mit.edu. For this field, you
enter the domain name. For this example, you would enter:
eng.mit.edu
As an alternative, you can use the TCP/IP Configuration Notebook to specify
domains to be searched. You cannot specify both a local domain name and
domains to be searched in this field.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Name server IP address ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specify the IP address of a name server that resolves domain names to IP
addresses. Specify the IP address in 32-bit dotted decimal notation.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Options Notebook - MPTS Page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
On the Multi-Protocol Transport Services (MPTS) page, you can specify whether
you want to run Multi-Protocol Transport Services (MPTS) to add support for
TCP/IP to your adapter. If you want to use TCP/IP over a LAN connection,
ensure that Run MPTS is checked.
This page is not available (greyed out) if you already have an MPTS or LAPS
stack installed.
When you have completed this page, select the tab of the next page.
When you are ready to save your changes, select the symbol at the top left of
the window. Then select Close from the pull-down menu.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Options Notebook - CONFIG.SYS Page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
On the CONFIG.SYS page, you can specify whether you want TCP/IP for OS/2 to
update your CONFIG.SYS file with the statements necessary to load and run
TCP/IP for OS/2. After TCP/IP for OS/2 updates your CONFIG.SYS file, you will
have to restart your workstation to implement the changes. If you do not allow
TCP/IP for OS/2 to modify your CONFIG.SYS file, the changes will be saved in a
file called CONFIG.TCP.
When you have completed this page, select the tab of the next page.
Your original CONFIG.SYS file is saved in a file called CONFIG.XXX, where XXX
is a number. For example, if file CONFIG.000 does not exist before the
installation, your CONFIG.SYS file will be saved in a file named CONFIG.000.
When you are ready to save your changes, select the symbol at the top left of
the window. Then select Close from the pull-down menu.
