There is a small bug in this program which I don't know has been fixed. In
the file called install.fil, your archive directory won't be correctly
input; you have to modify this file by hand. I believe the newest version
also handles fixpak zip files.
I got this info from some helpful sources. I used QF last week to install
FP11 on my laptop and I'm going to use it to install FP12 soon on my
desktop.

The easiest & quickest way that I have found is to download the *.zip
files from the RSU site and then follow the instructions given in an
article by Walter Metcalf.

BTW, don't bother with FP11, go for FP12

Subj: cable modem configuring
From: John McNamara <jmcnamar@optonline.net>
I have a Optimum Online Cable modem hooked up into a ne2000 ethernet
card. Can anyone please point me in the direction on how to configure
this so as I can access the Internet thru my Cable Modem. The NIC is
set for IRQ 10 and IO 0x300. I installed tcp/ip on the Warp 4 box and
tried to configure it t no avail. Any help or shoves in the right
direction would be appreciated. Alose are there any FAQs out there on
this subject re: Configureing Network Adapters or Configuring Cable
Modems ?
TIA

Note that there is nothing inherently different about a cable modem and
a router, which in essense it is. What you have to do is first make sure that
you NIC is configured properly along with Warp's software.
Did you choose the Networking install? Does the NIC driver load
properly at boot?
The first thing I would do is check your networking software setup.
Run MPTS to check for basic networking commponents. remove all transports
except for TCP/IP if there are others. It is much easier to get one working
properly and then install others that are needed. Once you are sure that the
basic networking components are installed and configured properly then go
to the TCP/IP configuration notebook and configure TCP/IP. Make sure that
you include the loopback adapter. It will allow you to check your TCP/IP
configuration locally. You should be able to do a successful "ping localhost".
Once you get this working then set up the parameters that your ISP
has given you for DNS, whether or not to use DHCP or a static IP address
your domain name, possibly a host name, a gateway/router address.

There are lots of pages with info about cable modems, some that come
to mind:
for RoadRunner info - http://Larkin.NuclearWinter.com/rros2/
Connecting a home LAN to the Internet :
http://nateliskov.ne.mediaone.net/network/homenet.htm
General information links: Warp on the Net - http://www.nfwa.com/os2/
Once you get the above configuration done and have perused the links,
if you still have problems get back to use with as much information as
possible.
I am sure we will be able to point you in the right direction.

I'm running a similar setup. Make sure you have the latest updates to the
TCP/IP stack and MPTS, then configure the LAN card for DHCP. That's all you
should have to do!

Their are several addresses listed in the readme info, that may not be used by
any other
software, if NS 4.61 is to operate withour errors. It may be time to read and
print out
that list, and use the RMView /DA > filename and start looking at both
printouts, to
get a hint of what happened.
