Subj: MediaOne Cable Modem and Injoy

From: [e-mail]

Hi,
I just signed up for the new MediaOne RoadRunner
cable modem service coming through my area and I was
wondering how to use Injoy with the network I got at
home. unfortunately I have to put Windooze 95 on one
of these machines in order for the tech to come out
and install the Cable modem and setup the service.
What I would like to do though is delete the crap
after he leaves and setup the machine with OS/2
again. I presently have the SOHO of Injoy vr. 2.2 and
would appreciate any suggestions.

My network config is as follows:

Subnet        192.168.0.XX
Netmask      255.255.255.0

router (which is computer #1) -----
 (192.168.0.1)
#1 computer - AMD K6-2/350 64 Mb OS/2 E-Business
Serverver (192.168.0.2)
#2 computer - Intel 586-120 96MB OS/2 Warp4 FixPack 9
(192.168.0.3)
#3 computer - AMD K6 166  96Mb  OS/2 Warp4 FixPack 9
(192.168.0.4)

Side note: At present I can not ping the server from
the server or any other machine but Netbios is fully
operational, I haven't figured out why I can't ping
yet.

Subj: Configuring Netscape roaming in Apache 1.3.9

From: "Jaime A. Cruz, Jr." <[e-mail]>

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Having a stupid problem with this.  I've copied the roaming.dll module into
the libexec directory, and I added the following line to httpd.conf:

LoadModule roaming_module libexec/roaming.dll

However, when I try to start the server, it complains that it cannot find the
specified file roaming.dll.  I checked the libexec directory and it is
DEFINITELY in there.  Everything is lower-case (which really shouldn't matter
to OS/2, but you never know with these programs ported from UNIX).  Has
anyone gotten this to work?  What did I forget?

Subj: Re: Warp 3 to Warp 4 Upgrade HPFS Problem

From: Benno Sauer <[e-mail]>

There is a much easier way: replace the IBM1S506.ADD with the DANIS506.ADD
- much more performance and no problem with large drives.

But never forget at the end of installation step 1 to go to a commandline
and copy the .add to the harddisk, else you are in big trouble after
rebooting!

We'll see !.

Yep, that looks like a similar hit, fixed in IP08401 which is superseded
by IP08412 but what about DOC apar IC20796 for OS/2 Warp 4.0 :

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
Customer issues a NET VIEW command from an OS/2 client to a NT server
that has some share names longer than 12 characters. The NET VIEW
command will display the resources until it encounters one longer than
12 char.  A NET3513 error is displayed at the client. This error means
"More data is available than can be returned." This is technically
correct but does not readily identify what is wrong. The browser gives
even less information, i.e. a message box with no text.

LOCAL FIX:
The work around is to make sure to limit all share name to 12 characters
or less on NT.

DOC apars do not have a fix, they're DOCumentation updates

Is this really the exact same problem reported as reported in IC15963 ?.
If it was then IP08412 would have fixed it. Since it didn't then I would
suggest that this is not the same problem as in the apar. Nobody has
called in to IBM and mentioned they've noticed this fix is missing from
the fixpak, nor that it does not work so I think you're just dead wrong
about IBM's goof, you are seeing a different problem.

>According to my research, the problem was reported in APAR IC15963 (see
><URL:http://app-01.www.ibm.com/support/support_doc/ncs/s0012/

Well it would fix it for the people who are experiencing the exact
problem that the apar describes.

>However, IP08401 is NOT available from IBM's ftp server

It was not a Y2K ready fixpak so that's probably why it's been removed.

Simply not true ... the IP08412.INF file clearly lists the cumulative
history in the "Things that changed" section. IC15963 is clearly listed.

Err, no, I don't think so. The reason it doesn't work is probably
because the problem seen is not the error described by that apar. It has
worked for other people so it will work for everyone with that
particular code defect. Applying IP08401 first would make no difference
at all. If what you were saying is true then once {R} or anyone else
went to IP08412 then the problem would return. Has it ... nope, and it
hasn't happened to anyone else in the world either according to IBM's
databases.

>However, following the "Locate Fixpack" link tells us that

Not quite, this looks like a simple ommision from the source data from
which the fixpak database is built for that one fix, the details of
which fixpak includes the fix is missing so it's nothing more sinister
than that in reality. This is about the only thing you can thow at IBM
as a criticism from this posting, and it's a rather minor one at that.

>It looks to me that IBM have right royally fucked up on this issue: is
there anyone out there with the ear of PSP (e.g. someone with a
maintenance contract) who can "persuade" then to rerelease the IP series
of fixpacks with ALL the APARs fixed in a cumulative fashion, as with
other products?


Why .. they are cummulative, nothing is wrong as far as I can see. Also,
if you suspect a defect in IBM code then read the support statement that
comes in the box with the product and it will tell you how you can
report a suspected defect  to IBM without having a maintenance contract.

I think you should re-read that newsletter more carefully as you've
mis-understood it big time. I assume you are talking about the one at :

http://www.ibmlink.ibm.com/usalets&parms=H_299-276

which read :

Effective January 1, 2000, the option to download features and updates
from Software Choice for free will be discontinued for all future
features and updates. The features and updates will only be available to
those  customers who purchase; Software Subscription under Passport

        OS/2 Warp Server for e-business
        WorkSpace On-Demand

Software Choice Subscription for:

         OS/2 Warp 4
...

Exactly where does it say fixes and fixpaks are going to be chargeable
?.

Software Choice is about upgrades, new versions/releases and new
features for Warp and Warp Server, which are (and always have been)
chargeable things from most vendors. The Software Choice program is not
there for obtaining or distributing fixes or fixpaks. The newsletter was
purely about the Software Choice deliverables, not fixpaks.

Subj: Re: Warp 3 to Warp 4 Upgrade HPFS Problem

From: "Graham C. Norris" <[e-mail]>

There's much more to it than that. The HPFS support is separate to the
IDE ADD and will need to match whatever is on the Warp 3 system. The
OS/2 disk manager is also separate, in OS2DASD.DMD.

This is another highly undesirable side effect of IBM neglecting to
provide even a full service refresh of the OS/2 client: it can be darned
difficult to install it over a well-maintained Warp 3 system as it
regresses a lot of it. I've seen someone say that Indelible Blue has a
thing called Warp-up which may overcome this problem.

Graham.

Subj: sendmail 8.9.1 & Aurora

From: [e-mail] (John Poltorak)

Has anyone managed to get the OS/2 port of sendmail 8.9.1 working with
Aurora?

I have tried, but get a SYS3173 in TCPIP32.DLL...

IBM's sendmail offers spammers an open mail relay to route mail through
your system, and they have no inclination to provide a fix so I'd like to get
sendmail 8.9.1 working.

And before anyone mentions it, yes, I have heard of INETMAIL, but I've already
paid for a mail daemon, and it would be nice if it worked prpoerly.

According to IBM, this open mail relay feature is not a bug, it was designed
that
way!

Subj: Peer & HPFS 386

From: "Joseph O. Henley" <[e-mail]>

Hi,

Hopefully someone can help with a problem I have.  I've just set up my
first network:  Peer to Peer, OS/2 to Win98.  The OS/2 machine is ver
4.0 - FP12, HPFS386 file system.  Everything is OK so far, except every
time I  shutdown, I loose the shares on the OS/2 machine, so I cannot
see files on the OS/2 machine from the Win98 machine.

Every time I start up the OS/2 machine, I have to go into the
"permissions" tab of "Shared Resources and Network Connections" and
re-establish the shares.  I suspect this is a result of using HPFS386,
but I'm not sure.  I also suspect there is a command line I can use to
accomplish this task, but I have not been able to find it.

Any and all help will be appreciated.  Thanks!

KS,

Thanks!  Did that.  Doesn't work.  I still think it has something to do
with using HPFS 386, but I'm not sure.  Any other thoughts??

If you are using the IP08412 fixpack for "File and Print Services
Client"
the automatic start up of shares is broken in this fixpack.

Are you planning to use sendmail and some other products
(some kind of POP3 server) to do  E-Mail distribution on a local
LAN that is not connected to the internet?

You can use sendmail to send E-Mail to local LAN machines
by setting up the various machines host names in the
\MPTN\ETC\HOSTS file. This will allow sendmail to
resolve the host IP addresses and forward E-mail to
the machines. Each machine needs to have sendmail
running as a demon ( the -bd switch) so it can send/receive
E-Mail files. You need a local mail agent that is able to
drop (write) the file into a local directory. AFAIK the
MR/2 ICE E-Mail client used to have one called
MR2ILDA.EXE included with the client. There was also
a MR2ILDA.DOC file that explained how to set up the
sendmail.cf file to use this local mail agent.

The documentation on OS/2 sendmail is fairly sparse but
it is basically a port of the standard sendmail code. The
SENDMAIL.CF file is used to control the processing done
by the sendmail server. (this is sendmail started with
a -bd switch set).

I once found the sendmail man pages somewhere on
the web (I think it was from one of the UC web sites) but
I cannot remember where it was.

The IBM redbooks site has a manual for the os/390
TCP/IP implementation that includes a section on confiuring
sendmail. http://www.redbooks.ibm.com do a search for
"sendmail" and it will find the book. They have a PDF file
you can read on-line and it has a section on configuring
the sendmail.cf file.

Steve,

I had a very similar message.  In my c:\MPTN\BIN\SetUp.cmd file is where
my problem was.  I had two physical lan adapters listed (don't know
why).  I "rem'd" out the second one, Lan1, and all is OK now.

Good luck!

Lorne,

BINGO!!  I think you've hit the problem.  Thanks very  much!!   I looked
in www.warpupdates.de/english/warpupdates.html and found that 8412 is
the latest.... and 8196 is the only one prior.  I haven't done an update
on Peer-to-peer per se, but I have TCP/IP 4.1 (updated to UN1001) and
MPTN at W8620.   Syslevel says Peer is at 8400.  I would guess 8400 has
the same problems as 8412, but I'm not sure.....do you know?

So what would you suggest?  Should I install the downlevel 8196 Peer
version?  Or is there a command line which I could put in my Net
Start-up batch file to accomplish the share?

Again, thanks very much for your help.

Joe

Joe,
I assume when you mentioned HPFS-386 that you are running WarpServer.  I am
not real familiar with the server but with the workstation, I think, you
have to log on to the local machine to enable file and print sharing.  Try
adding something like 'logon userid  /p:password' to startup.cmd file.
Just a thought,
John Pollard

Subj: "Machine has a LAN connection"

From: Will Rose <[e-mail]>

My machine (Warp Connect, FP 40) has suddenly started complaining
that a LAN connection is present, and that it may not be possible
to connect to the LAN while the PPP connection is up, every time
I run DOIP.  Nothing's changed in my setup (except that something
obviously _has_) and I've always had a LAN (Netbios) and TCP/IP
connection.  Does anyone know where this error message comes from?
I'd like to suppress it.  (And it's wrong, btw. - the LAN connection
is fine.  Anyhow, I get the error message when the requester isn't
even running).

Subj: WR08620 & arp -f

From: [e-mail]

Hello All.

I test Warp Server for e-business (Aurora) and
have troubles with ARP. For example,

c:>ping anyHost
- all O.K.
c:>arp -f
- arp table flushed
c:>ping anyHost
- TCP/IP connection totally broken!!! Not responce
from anu host, via ping, Netscape etc. NetBIOS
works correctly.

Then I install Warp 4.
c:>ping anyHost
- all O.K.
c:>arp -f
- arp table flushed
c:>ping anyHost
- all O.K.

Then I install MPTS to Warp 4 from Aurora
(WR08620):
c:>ping anyHost
- all O.K.
c:>arp -f
- arp table flushed
c:>ping anyHost
- TCP/IP connection totally broken!!! Not responce
from any host. NetBIOS works correctly.

(I test all cases with 3com509 and 3com905b card
with 2 computers).

"Arp -f" command shows one of many bad symptoms.
If I not use it, then connection lost later.

Any comments?

    The latest is 8424. You have to install 8423 first, though, since
8423 uses the CSF program to do the install instead of MPTS like
previous updates.
    A lot of problems were cleared up by going through the 8423/24
updates.

I tried it and had lots of woe, made worse by the fact that the
performance was so much better. Ultimately, though, every warp4 machine
I tried it on crashed horribly, with the directory structure itself
being severly trashed (all that effort in making backups paid off!).

I have tried hpfs386 on a warp 4 client as well and it usually works ok
for 3-4 months and eventually trashes the whole install. Did this on 3
different boxes and in every case had to reinstall from scratch. So from
my experience using hpfs386 on a client is not a good idea.

    I used to run PRM 3.0 through the Igate proxy server that I ran on an
OS/2 Warp connect box. Once it was set up I had no problems.

    What Proxy Server are you trying to connect through?

    As I recall in the PRM setting for mail server you enter the proxy server's
name; for userid you enter "YourUserID@MailServer"; for password your password
for your mail server. At least that is how it worked for Igate.

I know it possible to send an email from the command line using IBM's

From: Wayne Lemmon <[e-mail]>

I have warp 4 and would like to use it as a firewall-fileserver on my
home network.  I will be running on a 225 MHz pent, with 128 megs.  I
tried to use redhat but with all the re-compiles and such, I never got
it working and it didn't like my Jazz-Jet pci scsi card.  Is there a
page on the internet that describes how to do this?  What upgrades and
fix packs do I need?  etc.....

From: "Marco Shaw" <[e-mail]>

I'm new to OS/2 admin.  I need to develop a script that gets files newer
than x date, and FTPs all these files to an FTP server, and this must be
done every 4 hours.

What kind of scheduling mechanism does OS/2 (Warp 4) have?  Would it be best
to use DOS batch scripts to do the above?  Since I don't know anything about
REXX...

Thanks,

The rules to make such installs bullet proof are simple and worked for
me
for many years:

1. Partition should be formatted with so called "long" format:

    format x: /FS:HPFS /L

2. Never. No. *NEVER* fill out partition for more than 90% of
capacity.

By the way: the same rules are applicable for ordinary HPFS partitions
if you don't want to see your files removed by CHKDSK.

Just an example: three years ago I have installed Warp 4.0 and HPFS386
on my home PC (still used every day by my daughter and my mother).
I can't say that power is very reliable in my home and there is no
UPS.
I have not lost even one byte of the information on that PC.

Regards,
    Sergey.

James,

Are you talking about an upgrade to MPTN or Peer-to-Peer?  Lorne's
comment was about Peer-to-peer, which is probably where the problem
lies.  Is P2P up to 8424?  Or are you thinking of MPTN .... (which is
definitely up to that level now)?  If you're thinking of P2P, can you
tell me where you found that level update.  Thanks!

Subj: Re: TCPIP 4.1 Hard Traps

To: [e-mail]
From: John Mandeville <[e-mail]>

After installing TCP/IP 4.1, I get hard traps (Trap 00e) on my Warp 4,
FixPak 9 computer immediately upon a successful PEER login.  J.A. Gow
(thanks for the help) suggested that MPTS has an
installation/configuration bug in that it incorrectly updates
\IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI.  He suggested that I look for, and correct if
necessary, lines beginning with "net1=NETBEUI$", "net2=TCPBEUI$",
"wrknets", and "srvnets".

On my system, I have only TCPBEUI, no NETBEUI.  Our local powers that be
don't want people using NETBEUI because it creates too much network
traffic.  So I only had a line beginning with "net1=TCPBEUI$", and the
wrknets and srvnets lines were both set to NET1.  It all appeared to be
correct.  However, I still got the hard traps.

Just to make sure that the problem was that I had only TCPBEUI and not
also NETBEUI, I also reconfigured my system to use both.  I ran
PEERINST.EXE so that it would do its reconfiguration and again checked
the IBMLAN.INI file to make sure those few lines were correct.  All
appeared to be in order.  The hard traps continued.

The TCP/IP services work fine.  I only get the hard traps when log as a
peer.

Ideas?

You need REXX and a library package called RxSock. This all comes with Warp 4.

>What kind of scheduling mechanism does OS/2 (Warp 4) have?

It doesn't, but there is a choice of Cron-like utilties on Hobbes which will
do the job.

No.

An ideal opportunity to learn then. My homepages are maintained automatically
by such a system as you describe - whatever I change here automatically gets

It may also be useful to run SWITCHRX.CMD to change to the new Object REXX. It
has
some new functions which are very useful, such as access to semaphores. It is
also
very fast and convenient to use the container classes (tables, arrays, queues
&c)
to organize the files you need to transmit.

It is easier to use the REXX ftp API if you do not need all the socket
capabilities.
From the online documentation:

 The REXX FTP API package is contained in the file rxftp.dll. This dynamic
link
library (DLL) must be placed in a
 directory listed in your LIBPATH statement in your CONFIG.SYS file. To use
the
functions in the REXX FTP API
 package, execute this REXX code:

 rc = RxFuncAdd("FtpLoadFuncs","rxFtp","FtpLoadFuncs")
 rc = FtpLoadFuncs()

 To unload the DLL, you should first call the FtpDropFuncs() function, then
exit
all CMD.EXE shells. After exiting all
 the command shells, the DLL will be dropped by OS/2 and can be deleted or
replaced.

It certainly does! I have used the scheduler in the bonus pack for years with
no
problems. It will allow a wide range of different scheduling options (like
every n
days, third wednesday in every month, or whatever).

It is also possible to do the scheduling in REXX if it is fairly
straightforward.
Your batch control program can be started from the startup folder, and stay in
the
background like any other daemon.

/* REXX timing loop for daily task */
iScheduled = TIME('S', '22:14:00') /* Convert scheduled time 22:14 to seconds
after midnight */
do forever
  iNow = TIME('s') /* Seconds since midnight */
  iWait = iScheduled - iNow
  if iWait < 0 then iWait = iWait + TIME('S', '23:59:59') /* Not until
tomorrow */

  SAY 'Wait' iWait 'seconds, until' TIME('N', iScheduled, 'S')
  CALL SysSleep iWait
  'START /B myjob.cmd'
end

You put three things, userid server password on one line. Server can
be a '*' to match anything. I don't know how much more info one would

Subj: IP Forwarding not working

Message sender: [e-mail]

From: "Jeff Roesner" <[e-mail]>

I have a 3 machine LAN that until today could all connect to the
internet without the use of NAT or a proxy.  All of the machines have a
ststic IP address and my OS/2 box is the gateway for them.

For some reason I can no longer connect to the internet with the
machines inside my LAN, nor can I connect to the machines within the
LAN from the outside.

The addresses are:

207.51.167.140  OS/2 dialup
208.154.66.233  OS/2 lan0 (subnet 255.255.255.248)
208.154.66.234  Solaris 7 (subnet 255.255.255.248)
208.154.66.235  Windoze 95 (subnet 255.255.255.248)

All had been working well until today, and I can't seem to figure out
what happened.  I made no changes to my configuration and I have
rebooted thinking that would fix it.

Any help is appreciated.

Nerd... no need to be an OS/2 expert. Internetworking basics are
sufficient. Check your tcp/ip configuration, especially the initializing
statements in \mptn\bin\setup.cmd (ascii file, may be directly edited).
the statements are almost similar to winxx and unix. god safe the rfc's.

To be more direct: Run \mptn\bin\setup.cmd line by line and then post
the complete file and mention the line that gives the error message.

And to be an asshole: fuck off and leave....

It's obvious, but did you check you still have an 'IPGATE ON'

How and where do I tell OS/2 V4 to use the network based modem router. I

yet.

Any help would be appreciated.

2 - "client" - OS/2 Warp - tcp/ip 4.1 - 8620 stack -
IP address: 192.168.0.1 - Computer Name: Dad
I need to run a SOCKS server to access secure web sites, so I have that
enabled
and pointing to the "server" (192.168.0.2)
The question is: How do I configure the Routing page and the Hostnames pages?

I suspect that nearly all of them support restart.  Basically,
everyone except Microsoft is using the 1985 version of the ftp
standard.  Microsoft, for reasons best known to itself, uses the
1972 version.

The OS/2 server that I prefer is my own: FtpServer, available via
the web address in my signature.  Of course, that's a biased
recommendation.  If you want alternatives, look at either Hethmon
ftpd or Penguin ftpd, both available on Hobbes.

My favourite ftp client is NcFtp, and it too supports restart.

Subj: Network modem router problems

From: [e-mail]

Hi,

I would like to acess my network modem router from all machines on my
nnetwork, but can't figure out how to set the OS/2 warp 4 machines to
acees the router.
All win 98 machine can do so with no problems, but OS/2 machines only
use their local serial modems. I think I need to point the TCPIP config
file to the router address but can't figure it out...Do I also need
socks?

Am new to OS/2 and could use some help.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I just installed TCP/IP Version 4.1 on OS/2 Warp 4 and I can't find the
corresponding header files or libraries.  I am still using the TCP/IP
Version 4.0 header files and libraries which came on the Warp 4 install
CD.  While this seems to work, I'd feel better using the correct files.
I've explored the Developer Connection CDs (member level) and haven't
found anything.  I'd appreciate any pointers to these files.  Thanks in

TCP/IP 4.1 and higher includes a firewall.  It can be configured
manually (not easy) or with a config program (easier) such as
ServerConfig or Zampa.

Subj: Any PostRoad mailer address book conversion programs?

From: [e-mail]

I have been using PostRoad Mailer almost from the beginning, and I am
generally
satisfied with it. However, since Innoval exited the OS/2 market, I will
probably have
to eventually move to another email client (anything out there besides
Netscape
that is still being supported?)

My question is: how can I export my PostRoad Mailer address book? Any
utilities
out there? I checked Innoval's site, and didn't find anything.

Mein Provider ist OKAYnet.
Auf der Seite ist zwar sehr gut beschrieben, wie man unter OS/2 Zugang

Ich habe genau diese Einstellungen, wie auf der Webseite beschrieben.

Beim Anwählen bekomme ich aber nur ein lächerliches "NO CARRIER" zurück.

Hat jemand ne Idee?

Subj: IP masquerading with TCP/IP >= 4.1?

From: "Adrian Gschwend" <[e-mail]>

AFAIK there is no way to do IP masquerading in Warp 4 without 3rd party
tools, is this correct?

What about Warp Server for e-business, AFAIK this is a port of the FreeBSD
stack. Can I do IP masquerading with this stack without any other tools? If
so, how?

Thanks

Peter Moylan ([e-mail]) wrote a small POP/SMTP server

When it was designed - 10 years ago? - there weren't any spammers yet so
you wouldn't loose your account for running an open relay.  Nowadays,
IBM ought to be blacklisted itself for daring to continue shipping such
dangerous software.

The easiest way to find out, and I do believe that the wseb stack supports ip
masquerading, is to use Server Config.  It started out as a tool to configure
apache web servers,  but the author also added the ability to configure all
the advanced funtions in the 4.1 ip stack for OS/2 such as firewall, vpn,
ect.  Here is the url:

    From the Jstreet mailer Address Book help file:

*****************start quoted text**********************

For example, to import an address book file (only the individual entries, not
the groups)
from the Post
     Road Mailer, use the latter program's ADR2ASC.CMD to export the entries
to an *.ASC
file, and
     that's the file you will import into the J Street Mailer. Use an editor
which does
not convert tab
     characters to spaces, such as OS/2's E.EXE, to remove the first four
lines of the
file (the title lines and
     the blank line). Then, here in the Import a delimited file dialog, assign
the fields
in this order: Last
     Name, First Name, Organization, Email Address, Nickname; then select Do
not use for
the next eight
     fields since each J Street Mailer address book entry can have only one
email address
and only one
     nickname; then Telephone Number, Do not use again since there can only be
one
telephone number,
     and then Fax Number, and Notes. Or, if your address book entries contain
a lot of
second telephone
     numbers and few fax numbers, you might want to select Telephone Number,
Fax Number,
Do not
     use, and Notes instead, and then remember that your address book entries
contain two
phone
     numbers rather than a phone number and a fax number as the field labels
will specify.

*******************end quoted text******************

    I think from the above description you should be able to work something
out.

Subj: os2 as client for samba very slow compared to win95

From: Sean Hennessy - Geishan <[e-mail]>

I'm in the act of setting up a small network (7 stations) to replace an
os/2 peer server with linuxand samba.  The workstations are mainly os/2
but with 2 win machines(1 95; 1 NT).

Problem.
current access for a particular page:
    using os/2 server = 3.5 secs - All machines
    using Samba = 3 secs windows   = 22 secs OS/2

Now 22 secs is just a little bit on the slowwww side.

This reeks of an adjustment somewhere, but I'm just not cluey enough to
know what it is.


Can someone please HHEEELLLLPPPPPP.

Subj: Re: Peer & HPFS 386

From: [e-mail] (Mark Mellin)

Hiya Sergey,

I'm curious, I thought the "/L" or long format was for
optical disks - how does this affect or "correct" the
problems with Peer2Peer and HPFS386 on HDD's ?

Also, when you said to never fill out more than 90% of
a partition's capacity, did you mean; never allow a
HPFS386 partition to reach +90% of that particular
partition's capacity -or- never create a HPFS386 partition
that is +90% of a HDD's capacity ??

My concern is that the "problem" will occur once Peer-2-Peer
has been installed along with HPFS386.

Thanks,
Mark

Thanks. Actually, the TCP/IP configuration utility no longer asked me
for an ID / password after I added SET LANTCP=EN_US (a tip I found in
older posts). Now what I get when I start tcpcfg2.cmd is the
following:

FATAL error message: Can not start the local TCP/IP configuration
notebook at this time because the remote TCP/IP configuration server
is running and has files locked. Stop the remote TCP/IP configuration
server to run the local configuration notebook.

Now my next question is: how do I stop the remote configuration
server, which I swear I never knowingly started in the first place.

Thanks, Dominique

AFAIR It is the same stack with some enhancements and better documentation. It

is numbered 4.2.
P.S. All OS/2 stacks are BSD-compliant stacks. 4.0 has older compliance and
4.1,
4.2 newer.

Weasel looks okay but (1) is there support from the author? and (2)
it seems to require that all incoming mail be sorted into a
predetermined list of known user's mailboxes.  That is a bad idea in
circumstances in which you want to accept mail generally rather than
rejecting mail to unknown users.  We've run about 30 listserv lists
on our system as well as personal mailboxes for the last 15 years and
its not a good idea for us to return mail that naive users have addressed
to major-domo, majordomo, listproc, listserv, listserve, listserver,
comserve, comserv, comsve, etc. etc.  You can set up aliases for these
variations but you won't know what new twists your overactive SMTPD
has rejected.

INETMAIL unlimited user edition has author support and the
capability to turn off verification that mail is to a "known user".
Unfortunately INETMAIL unlimited is pretty expensive, especially
is you really just want it to be a non-relay-accepting SMTPD replacement.

I run weasel, and after a bit I go it sorted out to accept mail from
anyone/anywhere and send it on. Just put in * for acceptable destinations
and for acceptable sources, works fine for me.  One ofo several very good
programs that the author puts out and updates.

As for support I have yet to need to contact them myself, but have seen
them active in the newsgroups.

Long format wipes out disk and helps CHKDSK to restore
metainformation.

I mean 90% of particular partition capacity.
File system driver does not know anything about full size of HDD.
Even more: in case of WSEB and LVM you can create HPFS
volume greater than size of particular HDD.

As far as I know, HPFS drivers (ordinary HPFS.IFS too)
has somewhat different algorithms for nearly full partitions
and partitions with some free space. All known sources of
information (in particular HPFS description from MS)
says that treshold is set at 10% of free space of partition.
My experience agrees with this information.

There are some inconveniences but there are definitely no problems
with reliability.

I'm doing the same thing myself and it appears that you have the addresses
reversed.  192.168.0.1 should
be the server.  The help with I Gate should tell you what to do from there.

At least I hope so, I'll be doing that next!

You can use PPP to set up a simple TCP/IP connection. You
run the PPP program on the machine you are dialing to. The
parameters that you use to set it up are fairly obscure but they are
discussed in the on-line TCP/IP documentation.

There is also a (I believe freeware) dial in server that uses
PPP to answer the phone and requests a user id and password
for the login. It is called TSERVE and you can get it from

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/internet/ppp/tserve11.zip

The author (that's me) spends a lot of time in the OS/2 newsgroups,
and new versions of Weasel come out from time to time.

An interesting point.  My attitude has been that "unknown user" mail
should be bounced immediately, so that the sender knows that he's
addressed it badly.  However it would be feasible in principle to
add an option that says that all mail to unknown users should be
routed to a special mailbox.  You'd also have the opportunity in
that case to use a smart filter that tried to figure out the most
sensible destination.  I'd never use such an option myself, but I can
appreciate that others might want it.  I'll take a look soon to see
how easy this would be to implement.

>I run weasel, and after a bit I go it sorted out to accept mail from

I wouldn't recommend running it that way. It means that you've
turned your mail server into an open relay. That's OK if you're running
a private internet, or something like that, but if you're connected to
the real internet then the junk mailers will find you sooner or later.
I'd suggest that you tune the "acceptable sources" to be the purely
local machines, or the machines belonging to your own users, or
some variation on that theme.

Subj: Re: Help: 4.1 install

From: [e-mail] (Rusty Boyd)

After I posted the first message, I tried two things:
1) I created an install.rsp file, changing the two log paths to
C:\tcpinst.log - install still complains that it can't write the log file to
c:\os2\install.
2) I started the fi program from Netscape - it proceeds until the following
error is encountered:
10-14-1999  10:34:08 PM TCPIP :: ERROR: Failed to create directory: \OS2\DLL
10-14-1999  10:34:08 PM TCPIP :: Installation complete.

which again, is nonsense. Of course the directory exists and the install did
not complete (fi did report this correctly).

I also find this error at the beginning of the log created by the fi
attempt:
10-14-1999   9:57:02 PM DHCP_DDNS_Server :: Unable to execute User Exit
'\INSTALL\DHCPCHK.EXE 222314 Y' : error 5424.
.EXE 222314 Y' : error 5424.
I tried again without DHCP enabled, but the resutls were the same.

TIA,
Rusty

There was a TCP/IP for 2.1, a separate package; it was around $200, so

Unfortunately it gives that error message when it can't find another dll
that the dll being loaded requires. It seems that when I built the roaming
module it ended up with a dependency on pthrdrtl.dll (used by MySQL).

To make it work, either install pthrdrtl.dll in your LIBPATH (it's included
in the PHP3 module zip) or re-download the roaming module as I've fixed it.

Hi Peter!

    That's great news.  This is exactly our situation.  With Sendmail as
the SMTP receiving agent, all our incoming mail is directed to
C:\tcpip\etc\mail and our own smart filter detects the new mail and
figures out what to do with it.  We support a large academic community
with a big range of services and just need a reliable SMTPD that is
relay-proof.  No other functionality is required for us because its all
implemented in other software we evolved and need to continue to use.
I'd rather have the unknown user items to look at (in case there's
some obvious little address problem that I can sort out manually) than
to reject out of hand.

Many thanks.

Subj: How to monitor Bytes Sent/Received

From: Tim [e-mail] (Tim Stephen)

An ISP we're considering using imposes a 12 GIG/month limit on total
traffic on one's link, excess to cost addition per month over the base
rate.

I can see two ways of calculating link traffic on OS/2. Both involve
netstat.

    NETSTAT -n lists a "total bytes sent" figure and a "total bytes
received" figure.  However NETSTAT -t lists a "data bytes sent" figure
and a "data bytes received" figure.

    What is the difference between these numbers and which numbers will
correspond with what the ISP's are tracking?

Thanks!

Subj: Re: OS/2 v2.1 TCP?

From: [e-mail] (Kevin Croxen)

Do you have a copy of Connect around? If so, providing you have
fixpacked 2.1 *all the way up to the final fp108*, then 2.1 will install
and run *all* the networking components included with Warp Connect.
I keep just such a patched-up 2.1+Connect system around for occasional
amusement, so I know it works. Heck, even Connect's version of Webex
runs, though on fp108 the Win3.1 version of Netscape Communicator 4.08
is a better choice.

Use prodinst.cmd on the Connect CD to install tcpip/mpts directly on 2.1,
or, if you haven't gotten around to hacking 2.1 so it runs ATAPI CD-ROM
drives yet, then on some other Warp machine prodinst will extract the
tcpip/mpts products to diskette, and they may be installed on 2.1 in that
fashion.

Note that the 2.1 fixpacks are not completely cumulative, and the massive
xr6200a fixpack must be applied first, followed by the very small xr_b098
and xr_b108 issues.

    Yes.
    Do one of the following in a temp directory:
1. Get the RSU distribution which has the files in ZIP format. Unzip the
files.
2. Use the DSKXTRCT utility to unpack the DSK files. DSKXTRCT is on
Hobbes.
3. Use LOADDSKF to unpack the DSK files to diskette, xcopy the diskette
to the temp dir.

    Unpack the latest CSF (v1.41?) into the same temp dir.
    Use the following REXX script to apply the fixpak.

/* REXX */
'@ECHO OFF'

PARSE SOURCE os2 type invocation

lastslash = LASTPOS('\',invocation)
path = SUBSTR(invocation,1,lastslash-1)
csfpath=path'\csf';

'set CSFUTILPATH='csfpath
'set CSFCDROMDIR='path

csfpath'\SERVICE.EXE'

    Ta da.

    IIRC, 8610 still uses MPTS to do the install while 8620 uses CSF.

You can use the DSKXTRCT program (do a search on Hobbes) to extract
the disk-images to directories on the hard drive.  (You can overwrite
the file "CSF_DISK" during extraction, BTW.)

For WR08610, you then just have to run the setup program as instructed
in the readme.

WR08620 is a bit trickier, you need the CSF tool to apply it.
Unzip the CS_141 package wherever, then - assuming you have the
XR08620 files in C:\WR_8620, say something like:

FSERVICE /R:RESPONSE.WP4 /S:C:\WR_8610

You might need to use a different response file, though - I've
never done this with 8620, specifically.

If you're not comfortable using FSERVICE, it might be simpler just
to do WR08620 off floppies - it's only 4 disks.  (That's what I did.)

I think these numbers get reset if you restart the PC so you would need
to keep a record of previous xfer stats.
