From: [e-mail]

Hi! I am new and has managed to install OS/2 WARP4
(without any fixpack yet)and now intends to install
 the TCP/IP but I was immediately put-off by the
 confusing set-up prompts.

I have choose the install internet via the modem and
was greeted by the notebook screen- there were so
many -compares to WIN.95.

When I am using WIN.95, my TCP/IP (In Malaysia)is
as follows.

            TCP/IP
*Specify an IP address. 202.188.0.133
*Specify name server address.
        primary DNS: 202.188.0.133
        secondary DNS: 202.188.1.5

*Use IP header compresseion.
* Use default gateway on remote network.

*SERVER CONNECTIONS:
*Type of Dial-up Server.
 PPP,WINDOWS95, WINDOWS NT, INTERNET

* ADVANCED IPTIONS:
 -log  on to network
 -enable software compression

* Allowed network protocols
  -Netbeu
  -IPX/SPX compatible
  -TCP/IP.

* my e-mail address is " [e-mail]"
* my ISP is "www.tm.net.my"
* Domain "tmnet.my"

Can anyone kindly advise me how to set-up
my internet connections?

Most grateful to all who can help.

Thanks, Brian!  I didn't want to E-Mail you directly (you do request that you
not receive E-Mail concerning installation or configuration) so I'd hoped
someone here would jump in.  The new version of roaming.dll loaded correctly.
 Now all I have to do is configure the rest of this thing.

Thanks again!

Ok Peter,

Can I use Weasel to have a 486 sever collect all my various pop3 mails (I
have my personal email and use 2 free accounts for maillists), sort to
folders, and then have them all served to me (main computer) via IMAP? Just
playing around.

Subj: Apache and roaming access (long)

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

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

AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh!!

This thing is going to drive me to drink!!

I have the roaming.dll module successfully installed (thanks, Brian!).
I've added the following line to my httpd.conf file:
  RoamingAlias /roaming x:/apache_1.3.9/roaming

I've created a \roaming subdirectory under my x:\apache_1.3.9 directory
(which is my server root).

In the /roaming directory I've created an .htaccess file that looks like
this:

AuthUserFile x:\apache_1.3.9\conf\.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile x:\apache_1.3.9\conf\.htgroup
AuthName "Roaming Access"
AuthType Basic

<LIMIT GET>
require group roamers
</LIMIT>

My .htgroup file (in the /conf directory) looks like this:

roamers: jaime

I created the .htpasswd file using the htpasswd.exe program in the /support
directory specifying user "jaime" and a password.

I then recycled Apache to bring in all of the changes and it started
successfully.  Next, I fired up Netscape and selected the "Edit...
Preferences" notebook.  I selected the "Roaming Access" page and checked the
"Enable Roaming Access for this profile", then filled in user name "jaime" in
the "User" field and checked "Remember my Roaming Access password."

On the next page, I checked "HTTP Server" and filled in the Base URL:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/roaming/jaime/

I then pushed the "OK" button and shutdown Navigator.  When I tried to
restart Navigator, I got prompted for a password.  I entered the password I
used for the htpasswd command and got an "Invalid Password" response.  The
error_log for Apache has the absolutely useless error message:

[Fri Oct 15 21:51:40 1999] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Unauthenticated
user has no access to roaming files for jaime
[Fri Oct 15 21:51:40 1999] [warn] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Have you put a
.htaccess file in the roaming directory?

YES!  I DID!  IT'S THERE!!  What in *&^%ing #$@* is wrong with this thing??
Can anybody help before I punt this thing into the highway??

There have been several warnings posted in the ng's against the use
of HPFS386 with PEER, whether you have a valid license for HPFS386,
or not.

My recommendation is to switch back to regular HPFS immediately.

On OS/2 V2.1, i use to instal the separate TCPIP package that was sold as a

Subj: Son's computer has cable modem connection...

From: Daniel <[e-mail]>

Hi,

My son's Win98 machine is connected to the internet through a cable
modem via an ethernet nic. I put a hub between the cable modem and his
system and he still gets access to the internet. Then I plugged my OS/2
Warp 4, fp12, TCP/IP 4.1 computer into the hub along with another Win 95
laptop I have. Now, my OS/2 machine and Win 95 laptop can ping each
other, but they can't ping my son's Win 98 machine or the cable modem.
And my son's Win 98 machine can't ping either of the other machines.

Does anyone know how I can get OS/2 access to that cable modem, either
directly or through my son's Win 98 machine. And by the way, how come no
one can see his machine (neither OS/2 or Win 95) even though we are all
running TCP/IP and on the same physical Ethernet ring?

First, most cable modems identify a particular nic's MAC address
when they are first powered up. After identifying a nic MAC address
they will only respond to that nic (until they are powered off/on
again
at which they will identify the first nic MAC address they see and
thereafter  only respond to that one.

The ability of the machines to access the others is determined by
the machines IP address, netmask value and the IP address(es) of
the DEFAULT and NET route assignments.

The machine that is "connected" to the cable modem has to
be able to act as a "router/gateway" for the other machines.
Because the Cable modem usually provides only a single
"real world" IP address you also require the capability for
NAT (Network Address Translation) so that the IP addresses
of the other machines appear as a "port" of the IP address
assigned to the machine acting as a gateway.

This capability is built into Win 98 SE but is not present in
the first version of Win 98.

OS/2 requires a third party product such as Injoy Gateway or
SafeFire firewall to act as a gateway NAT system.

What are the settings on the various machines?

Hmmm, I have been working on this for a while.

1) If you use Injoy then it keeps the stats for you.
2) The problem with netstat -n is you have to issue it before
    you lose the ppp connection, otherwise you get the LAN0 stats
    but the PPP0 stat come up blank.
3) Issuing netstat -n works ok when you disconnect but if you get
    disconnected then the stats are lost.

Happy to hear from anyone who knows a way around this.

Can you please tell me where on this site OS/2 is mentioned? I could
not find a single file for OS/2 there. So please enlighten me about
the availability of a working version of sendmail 8.8.8 (or above).
The one on hobbes (8.9.3) just produces an SYS3175 in TCPIP32.DLL. An
older 8.8.8 for OS/2 I have does not work with 'owner-xxx' aliases.

From: [e-mail] (Pasi Partanen)

There are so many choices for updating OS/2 that
it makes me confused.

If someone has already correct URL's for needed updates,
could you post them?


Summary:
 Standard Warp4 with FP10 installed.
 TCP/IP is standard one, shipped with Warp.
 Using modem and Injoy.

I suspect that you incorrectly or unconsciously set up remote server
during the installation.  IIRC, I did the same thing first time I
installed it, as well.  Easiest thing to do is to uninstall, reboot,

You should be aware that this configuration has open your LAN to internet.
Additionally, you clobber your cable modem connection with your LANs traffic.

It is much safer and "bandwidth efficient" if you install second NIC to
connect cable modem and let computer route traffic between LAN and internet.

Then this might be as good a place for a small? request as any other.
I have tested  Weasel in my intranet, and it looks like it might be useful. It
seems to lack one feature I need, though. If it can be implemented in a filter
or
add on, I could write it myself, but it does not look like that to me.

Apart from the local use, I would like to receive mail from several hosts run
by
different ISPs, or some other closed networks I might only have PPP access to.
I
would like to do this based on, for instance, an event semaphore. For example,
such that it connected to mail.somesite with user nn and password xx from some
configuration file whenever /sem32/lookatsomesite was set from one of my
programs
and not otherwise. Then, I would redirect any mail from that server to a local
user id defined in the same configuration, or through a filter which even
might
want to post it to a local newsgroup on my news server.

I would also like to control the times when Weasel tries to send out bound
mail to
certain outside exchange points. I understand that you have only tried to
implement a normal fixed connection to the Internet, but I do not think I am
the
only one who needs to interconnect private and public sites in this way. It
would
take a similiar configuration to what was used in the old UUCP days to tell
which
domains can be reached through which hosts, but preferrably controlled by a
semaphore or some other type of flag instead  of by a time schedule.

Bill, it's been so long since I installed it, I frankly don't remember
what's in the installation routine.

Look through the various *.CMD files in the MPTN and TCPIP folders
(start with c:\mptn\bin\mptstart.cmd and follow the command chain) and
see if something is automatically loading either tcpcfg2d.cmd (starts
tcpip configuration server) or tcpcfg2r.cmd (opens tcpip configuration
to configure tcpip on a remote workstation)!

most probably, the "total bytes" refers to everything including
handshake/routing/etc information, wether "data bytes" would be the data
payload (in an IP packet)
?
this is only hypothesis on my part...
In any case, you would have to ask your ISP how they count their traffic...

It came with it's own version of LAPS, which included TCP/IP support. LAPS
was the forerunner to MPTS.

LAPS stood for LAN Adapter and Protocol Support, as opposed to Multiple
Protocol Transport Services.

>Would the v4 CD be usable, or v3 (Connect)?


OS2V40 ... I doubt it since it uses a converged MPTS stack. V3 ... possibly
but it would not be supported by IBM, mind you, neither would TCP/IP 2.1.

I would recommend you use OS2V40 TCP/IP + Y2K fixes ... and installing
anything that isn't Y2K ready at this stage in the year in complete madness.

I assume you looked at IBM's software choice ?
At the bottom of the page, you will find free-bies (till Jan 2000 only !).
There seem to be a range of Windows-clients to access Warp server services,
I hope they include Win98 utilities.

Could you be more specific? On my system, the java command in
tcpcfg2.cmd, tcpcfg2d.cmd and tcpcfg2r.cmd look (respectively) as
follows:

java COM.ibm.raleigh.tcp.tcpcfg2.client.Tcpcfg2c %tcplang% local
notrace
java COM.ibm.raleigh.tcp.tcpcfg2.server.Tcpcfg2d %tcplang% notrace %1
java COM.ibm.raleigh.tcp.tcpcfg2.client.Tcpcfg2c %tcplang% remote

So what is the right command for starting the local configuration
(without gettimg an error message telling us the server is already
started)?

I'm sorry, but I did this a while ago and don't remember the specific details.

What I do remember is that the "allow remote configuration" icons actually
pointed
to the local computer and vice versa.  All I did was change the executable
name
in the properties, program page in each icon so that the local configuration
icon had the executable as tcpcfgr.cmd and the remote icon had the executable
as tcpcfgd.cmd

Subj: LNE100TX, IBM processor and SIS chipset

From: [e-mail]

I have a PC with an IBM p266 processor and an MTech r581 MB. An ISA 3com
network adaptor is working fine in this configuration. I am trying to
add a PCI LNKSYS LNE100TX network adaptor to build a home network using
my OS2 machine as a proxy. I've installed the hardware and drivers,
Seems to be recognized at startup and I am able to ping the address i've
assigned the new card from the os2 machine, but cannot talk to any
address beyond my hub.

I saw some notes at the LNKSYS site about an incompatibility with
CYRIX(IBM) processors and some comment about SIS chipsets and was
wondering if anyone had gotten the combination I described above to
work. I've sent a note to LNKSYS about this but felt that any real
experience would help.

Thanks in advance.

First thing I did was look at the Software Choice.

There is only a Win95 driver.  Tried that but Win98 won't recognize it
at all.

So I'm still looking.

The question is a little odd, but I've used the IMAP support in vm

Gnus I haven't tried, but I can't see why it wouldn't work.

Indeed - I've had two serious (i.e. serious data loss) crashes when using
OS/2 over many years (since 16 bit OS/2 v1.1). The first was on a
machine that I  was developing device drivers on (fair enough, a
risk of "kernel mode" development) the second was the day after
installing HPFS386 on Warp 4+FP6 - the machine had crashed (possibly
not related to HPFS386), but I lost the boot partition completely
and couldn't recover it.

What you did is this:
You just tricked your eyes to load the remote config and name "local" and vice
versa.

You should look for some daemon running, to allow for incoming config requests
from a
remote machine.

This probably starts the daemon.

To use local utility, just kill any JAVA program and you're fine to run.

The first half is easy.  The Weasel distribution includes a POPGET.CMD
that can fetch mail from somewhere else and sort it to local folders.
(It's a relatively simple Rexx script, so it isn't hard to modify to
do variations on this theme.)

IMAP is a different story.  The IMAP protocol is so different from the
POP3 protocol that it would be a major new project to handle it.  From
time to time I've considered writing an IMAP server, but it's such a
big job that it certainly won't be done this year.

If I've correctly understood what you're saying, this can be done by a
separate command file that's executed when you connect to the host,
and then does a POP fetch and stores the mail locally (or processes it
in whatever way you need).  In another posting in this thread I mentioned
a POPGET.CMD that's included with Weasel.  Take a look at it, it might
be what you need.  It sounds as if you're an experienced enough
programmer to customize this to your own needs.

>I would also like to control the times when Weasel tries to send out bound
mail to

Other people have asked for this, so the latest version looks for a file
called "Online" before sending outbound mail - you can create and
destroy this file as needed.  (It could be done with semaphores, but
not everyone understands semaphores.  Doing it based on the presence
of a file means that people can easily move the file as part of their
dialler script.)

Subj: Re: default password in TCP/IP 4.1 configuration utility?

From: [e-mail]

I didn't see the original post, but do know that when you install 4.1 it
screws up the local and remote tcp/ip configuration.  All you do is right
click on the tcp/ip configuration icon and rename tcpcfg2d to tcpcfg2r
and do the same to the allow remote configuration icon (but change
rom ..2r to ..2d)

Subj: How to get Win98 WS to log onto a WsEB server

From: Alex Smariga <[e-mail]>

I have a workstation that normally is running Warp but is dual bootable
to Win98.  Warp connects easily to the WsEB server, ethernet, TCP/IP and
Netbeui.
Occasionally, I need to boot the ws to Win98, and would like to have it
also access the server.

I am not sure what I need to do to Win98 to get it to see WsEB.  I have
created tcpip and netbeui, and given it static ip addresses.  But it
doesn't even ask for the domain address when I start.

Where can I look for a simple procedure to get these machines connected?

This is from online docu :

  lprmon     Starts LPRMON, a parallel device monitor that sets
             up your workstation to automatically send data to
             a remote LPR server.

  lprportd   Starts the LPD port support.

HP printers ( and others with NW cards )my be directly printed to via TCP/IP.
No need to physically attach them to a PC's parallel port. Anyhow, it's a good
advice to use a PC as print server if the printer is shared to a couple
of PC's - but just for the use of a central spooler.

If the printer itself has a harddisk built, it can do the spooling as well.
Then
there is no need for a dedicated PC print server.

Another point: Newer JetDirect Cards ( and other similar devices ) have a
telnet daemon and a web server built in. You don't need any specific JetDirect
software to configure those devices.

My original point was, there's no java in the process list, yet I get

think there's something broken in the TCP/IP 4.1 configuration
utilities.

For years I have had a copy of OS/2 Warp v3 with Bonux Pack sat on my shelf
doing nothing, now I have decided to try it out (mainly out of curiosity)
however I have ht upon a wonderful problem, just how do I connect it to my

The machine is a P150 Compaq Prosignia 500. I have downloaded all the
softpacs from Compaq but I cannot get the machine to install the net card
drivers. It keeps complaining about not having a 'profile control file'. Any
help will be appreciated I know the machine is sound as it previously ran
SCO Open Server with no problems.

I don't believe this is possible. The implementation of the
SMB network (NETBIOS) in Windows 95/98 will not negotiate
a session with the implementation in OS/2 that will allow the
transfer of long file name information.

If it is just Warp 3, not Warp Connect, the short answer is "you don't".
It didn't come with networking support, that's in Warp Connect (and Warp
4 of course). Unless you also happen to have a copy of Warp Server,
which includes client software, you are out of luck.

Subj: How do I read and write ethernet packets?

From: Niclas =?iso-8859-1?Q?Lindström?= <[e-mail]>

Are there any API's in OS/2 that can be used to read and
write ehternet frames directly from/to the lan-adapter so
I can analyze the ethernet header, modify it and send it
back out on the ethernet again..?

It depends on the WinXX machine. It happens both on Win95 and Win98 and it
depends on the way Win shows up to OS/2.

Actually I've been looking for a solution for a long time but I'd never
been able to find one.

Subj: Using Warp 4 as a NFS server for Linux Install CD-ROM

From: [e-mail] (Stephen)

I am installing Linux on a machine to use as a proxy server to the internet
for my home network.

The machine does not have a cd-rom. My Red Hat Linux Secrets explains the
Linus side of using a cd-rom on an NFS server, but I don't know the OS/2
side.

Can anyone point me in the direction of the information I need.

Many thanks.

It did not seem to be included with the version I had tried, so I went to your
site in
orderto download the newest version. Unfortunately, it timed out three times.
Either my
connections in that direction are slow, or the server was overloaded. I
therefore tried
Hobbes. It looks like those old philosophers have problems keeping up with
change, for
the version I got was 0.8, which did not have any POPGET.CMD (or any other
command
file) in it.

I see the point, but will not this cause some overhead? Unless I am mistaken,
you would
have to poll for the existence of the file. I think a ready-made skeleton REXX
program
to set the event semaphore would be easy enough for most people. I am more
concerned
that it might be more work to implement it than you (or I, for that sake,
since you
have kindly released the source) can spare the time for. Not that I have used
Modula 2
since about the time it was first released for DOS - I have an early version
of M2SDS
somewhere...

Is the compiler you use a big download, and is the free version usable for a
one-time
compile of Weasel? Or are not the fetch routines in a separate thread for each
external
server, so that it would be a non-trivial job to implement this?

That's my fault, I'm afraid. It's a nuisance keeping all archives
synchronised,
so I have a policy of uploading to Hobbes only when the version reaches a
round number.  The present version is 0.88, which means that version 0.9 is
due out soon (and will be uploaded to Hobbes), but meanwhile the version on
Hobbes is a bit out of date.

Your problem with connecting to my server might have been a transient one.
We've had quite a few power failures here lately, partly due to bad
weather but mostly due to Y2K testing.  (The "solutions" for this Y2K bug
are turning out to be worse than the problem they're supposed to fix.)
My own server, running OS/2, can reboot automatically after a power
failure, but some of our local routers, running Unix, don't recover
gracefully.  It's possibly that a new attempt to download will succeed.

If there's genuinely a problem with a bad connection (quite possible, because
the route from Australia to Norway wanders through all sorts of countries)
then I'd highly recommend awget: it's good at resuming failed downloads.

Meanwhile, POPGET.CMD itself is small, so I've e-mailed you a copy.

The overhead isn't all that bad.  A checking thread looks for the file
every minute or so, but apart from that that thread spends all its time
asleep.

This would probably be more trouble than it's worth.  I'm not sure what
the trial version of the compiler does these days - the XDS policy on
this varies from time to time, depending on what they're up to - but
there's a risk that you'd run into errors like "program too large for
demo version" or similar.

> Or are not the fetch routines in a separate thread for each external

The business about fetching from other servers isn't even part of the
Weasel code, it's a separate Rexx script.  You could even use that
script without installing Weasel.

    My meaning was that os/2 cannot send print jobs to printers that do
not have one of the following:
1. an LPD service.
2. a JetDirect-type network interface. (It uses the 802.2 protocol.)

    LPRPORTD only enables os/2 to send jobs to a LPD/LPR server. It
still requires an LPD service on the receiving end.
    Using LPRMON still requires an LPD service on the receiving end. It
only redirects jobs at a LPT port to the LPD/LPR server.

    I even had a situation that needed both of these services.
    First I enabled the LPD, LPRPORTD daemons. Next I set up one printer
object to connect to the printer (which has an LPD service) using one of
the LPD port drivers. Then I created another printer, using the same
printer driver as the first, and connected its output to an LPT port.
Finally I used LPRMON to redirect the 2nd printer's output to the first
printer. A pretty hokey setup but it get to use a printer that I would
otherwise not have access to.

    Yes, it can be done (I have done that same thing). Do you have the
NFS package? That is not a standard feature in Warp. You must buy that
separately.
    If you have it, add the drive to the EXPORTS file in the c:\mptn\etc
directory, restart the NFSD, the NFS server. You can also do this
through the configuration notebook(s).

FYI, I downloaded 0.88 from your site at 11:20 local time here in Germany
on the 19th. with no real problems. It was just a bit slow. ca 4K on ISDN.

It sounds interesting and might be able to provide a service which I need
but I haven't had the time to check it out yet. Another job for the weekend.

Ok, I believe I will have to write my own intermediate
NDIS-driver. Does anyone know were I can find good source
samples for NDIS drivers. I just downloaded the DDK from
IBM and at the first look at the sample in there (a token
ring driver) it looks too complex. I guess it includes
hardware access and things like that, but my driver only
need to access the existing NDIS driver and act as any
NDIS driver towards the application (TCP/IP-stack)...

If you mean a single bootable floppy, I don't think it can be done.  I
have seen single bootable floppies for OS/2, but they didn't have much
free space left for anything else.  You may be able to do it with 2 or
3 diskettes.  At work, when we need a bootable floppy that can access
a server, we use PC-DOS 7.

Yep ! Another one from Redmond ;-)
They made it work perfectly for NT though, strange isn't it ?

Subj: Any hints on how to link a Warp 3 desktop PC to an NT server.

From: "Mike Diack" <[e-mail]>

Hi, following a migration issue whereby our OS/2 PC's were talking to
and making read/write access to files on a Netware server, it's been decided
to move
the files over to an NT server.

We've obviously been using the OS/2 IPX client in the past to talk to
Netware, what's the
best way of talking (via IP) to the NT server in the same sort of way (the
problem being that we have masses of scripts that just use conventional
Netware drive mapping techniques) and to fix them up (even if I knew for
def. that the IP approach will work), will take time.

Is there some sort of IPX emulation layer available to minimise the work, or
am I gonna have to just bite the bullet on this, and start hacking and
experimenting.......?

Any help, greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Mike

If you have all Warp 3 clients, I hope you have Warp 3 Connect
as that version has the "File and Print Service" client that is
required to
talk to an NETBIOS/SMB type server (which is what NT is). The client
provides the file system that actually lets the client see the
files on the server.

If you do not have Warp 3 connect you will have to acquire
the "File and Print Services" client for Warp 3. It may be still
available from IBM but it usually comes with Warp Serve 4.
The entry level version of the server is still available. You have
to pay to license the client for each machine of course.

If you have to use an IP based protocol (assuming you require
routing capability for the network protocol) then you will also
have to have the TCP/IP stack for OS/2 installed on the clients
so you can install NETBIOS over TCP/IP. This all is
available on Warp 3 Connect (or Warp 4 but that will
require upgrading the client machines).

The netware MAP command (if that's what you are using
in the scripts) has an equivalent NET USE command
that is used for NETBIOS/SMB type clients to map drivers
for server resources.

I have no idea if NT server supports a novell emulation
for clients. If it did that would be the best way to do the
change over. I think you are going to have to bite the
bullet as the support for Novell type clients has to be
on the server.

<Obvious advocacy paragraph>
BTW - If you purchase Warp Server for the client code
you might as well pitch out the NT server code and use
Warp Server, it provides about twice the throughput of
NT server on equivalent hardware. You could even
spring for Warp Server Advanced SMP or Warp Server
for e-Business (the latest one) and have the best scalable
SMP support available for PC based servers. (and usually
is more stable - less or no crashes). You can even gateway
to the Novell server for file and print access until you get
all the clients switched over, and then move the data files.

It's bundled with TCP/IP 4.1 for OS/2.

Subj: Using External Zip 250 drive?

From: "Charlie Miller" <[e-mail]>

I now need more capacity than the Zip 100 (parallel port) drive
gives me so I purchased a new Zip 250 parallel port drive thinking I
could just swap them out.  But No.

With Graham Norris's help I found a web page at IBM where I could
download a driver file (IOMEGA.EXE) that was documented as saying it
supported the external Zip 250 and the USB external Zip 250 drive.
However after unpacking it, all I got was a file IBMATAPI.FLT with
no instructions.

After several attempts to get it to work, I have given up.  It would
seem like a driver with ATAPI in the name would refer to the
internal, ATAPI Zip 250.

Has anyone successfully installed a parallel port, Zip 250 drive.  I
have both Warp 3 and Warp 4 machines that need these drives.  Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
