check hobbes for a package called serverconfig...  it will configure
VPN's for OS/2's TCP/IP...  the catch is, only for TCP/IP versions
4.1 and up....

PS: there's a built in firewall in that version also..

what I don't know is if the VPN in 4.1 will connect to a windows or Linux
VPN...  any suggestions...

It might be usefull detailing the size/date of DOSCALL1.DLL so others can
compare
with FP12 version as well as confirming that there is no duplicate DLL on path
(including the possibility of a Process Commander version<g>).

Netscape knows nothing about interfaces - it just talks TCP/IP.
The TCP/IP stack will route traffic to an interface based on the routing that
is configured.

Subj: Re: NE2000 driver for OS/2 2.0

From: [e-mail] (Kevin Croxen)

OS/2 2.0? Pitch it. Actually it doesn't come with ANY networking
components, not just the drivers. Most currently available drivers
are designed to work only with 2.1 (the first truly stable 32-bit
release of OS/2 in late '92) and later.

The addon products to purchase to network 2.0 are long out of
production. You may find an ancient copy of Lantastic or IBM
tcpip 2.0 to purchase at an online auction house or somewhere
that *MAY* be compatible with 2.0. Otherwise, if a friend who
runs NT Server is willing to make a set of NT Workstation
 network install diskettes for M$ Lanmanager for OS/2, using
NT's Client Manager for NT server, you may be able to hack the
networking components from these diskettes to give you a degree
of character-mode tcpip and netbui capability under 2.0

Otherwise, haunt a few online auction houses like ebay, where it
is possible to purchase OS/2 Warp 3 Connect or above for around
$20. *THIS* version will make your initial OS/2 experiences much
more productive. It can be networked easily, includes all networking
tools, and, best of all, when properly fixpacked it won't burst
into flames right in the box when Y2K strikes.

Cheers,

--Kevin

Subj: Trap in SOCKETS.SYS

From: James Moe <[e-mail]>

Hello,
    My system has suddenly developed a most unfortunate trap during
shutdown. If I select Shutdown from the Desktop menu, I get an almost
immediate register dump indicating a trap (trap 000d, I think; didn't
want to try it again) in IFNET$. IFNET$ is in SOCKETS.SYS along with
INET$. I believe those are drivers for either Peer network or tcpip, or
both.
    I do not have a clue what has changed. I have not added any new
programs or drivers, done no system updates.
    If I use C-A-D, no problem.

There is a APAR on this problem in the IBM APAR database.

The fix for it has been included in one of the MPTS fixpacks
but I don't remember which one. If you running the original
MPTS distributed wiith Warp 4 (assuning that's the OS version)
you could apply WR8423 and WR8424 and it will likely cure the
problem.

The ip8424 is not a peer fixpack, those are only up to
IP8412. WR8424 is an MPTS fixpack and it should not be
used with TCP/IP 4.1. It is an update of the Version 4
TCP/IP stack.

The latest TCP/IP 4.1 stack is in the WR86XX series.

If you have TCP/IP 4.1 you should apply WR8610 for MPTS
and WR8620 (this requires the WR8610 MPTS refresh).

    From the Software Choice site:
Primary:
    product enables Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 clients to utilize Warp
Server and DCE Cells for logon and resource access.

Coordinated:
    product enables Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 clients to utilize Warp
Server (and other SMB servers) as a Network Provider for resource
access.

    To be honest I am clear what the differences are. I *do* know that
Coordinated works, Primary did not.

thanks for the update.
have you tried the Olicom Rapidfire 616x/615x. They offer OS/2 drivers. The
616x will not work with PCI2.0 but the 615x should do. I have tested the 616x
card on Netfinity xxxx M10 with Warp Server V4 SMP (TCPIP 4.1 and latest
Fixes) and Warp Server 4 eB and have not seen any problems. I guess it is
worth taking at them.

I haven't seen any OS/2 support for ATM Cards at Madges Homepage. Could you
tell me the complete product name.

Btw. we are going to use ATM because of recommendations from IBM - strange.

I think you may have back-leveled tcp/ip.  Latest PEER update is
ip08412, the only xx08424 I know of is an MPTS (including tcp/ip 4.x)
fix.  That would explain the IFNET crashes to a T.

    Yes, I incorrectly gave the IP update number: it should be ip08410.
I have been running with this update as well as wr08610 (MPTS) and tcpip
v4.1 (latest) for several weeks now. The Peer update was the most recent
of several weeks ago. MPTS was updated months ago, as was tcpip.
    The trap I am getting started yesterday. I have not updated
anything, I have not installed anything, I have not removed anything. I
cannot recall any change to the system in the last week.

What you need for printers and file resources is NetBIOS.

Can't say I know what you're talking about with "DOS based utility
installs".

You don't need either, but you get the most functionality going that route
(IP masquerading).

Other alternatives include blind proxy programs (IGate), and SOCKS servers
(such as NEC's SOCKS5 server).

I used NEC's SOCKS5 server for a long time with my (now gone) cable modem,
then, when the InJoy Firewall product was released (I was told it was in
the making previously, and was waiting for a few months), I started using
that.  Faster, less CPU usage (on the server), more functionality.

There are always traps and pitfalls in anything.  Without knowing your

into.

There's nothing obvious.

Does NT even support IP masquerading, with or without a 3rd party program?

Because documentation of that scope would be too cumbersome.

The information is out there, in pieces, for the dedicated searcher to

From: [e-mail] (Orest Skrypuch)

Hello Meinolf,

You were on the right track, sort of.

I discovered the problem at 6:20pm on Thurs and jumped up yelling
eureka! <g> I WAS clothed unlike Arcimedes.

The problem is that virtually all of the IRQs are by default assigned,
RMview DOES NOT recognize this, and misled me.

I discovered it when I loaded the IBM thinkpad utilites program, it
told me so when I tried changing the PCMCIA settings. I hadn't loaded
the utilities program before because it is just a little too big to
transfer by floppy - and I was waiting to get the network interface
working!

Kind of a Catch /22, a bit of Irony. So it is all fixed up.

Thanks for the reply.

Subj: Re: Login to NT domain

From: Lee Aroner  <[e-mail]>

You can't do it.

Windows and OS/2 REQUIRE netbios as the transport for the
Server Message Block Protocol that transfers information back
and forth about resource sharing.

What you can do is add NetBios over IP (TCPBeui), or
subsititute TCPBeui for NetBios. Once this is done, you will
be able to share resources back and forth.

Incidentally, unless you have to go through a router to access
some of these resources there is absoloutly NO reason to do
this - NetBios is a much more efficient protocol than TCPBeui.

There is also a potential (very serious) security risk from
using TCPBeui if your network is connected to the internet and
you do not very carefully secure your shares.

Well, pinging is a TCP/IP function.  Up there, you have NetBIOS info.

Nevertheless, if you have a functional TCP/IP connection, the odds are
pretty good that the NetBIOS connection also works.

Going from the above, it looks like you have your shares configured
correctly, but you've got your connections pointing to the shares on the
same machines.

You want the opposite.  The first connection, for example, should be drive
N: pointing to \\MULTI\NET.  After that, you can use any normal file
manipulation program to copy/move/delete/whatever files on drive N:, which
will actually be files in directory D:\NET on the MULTI machine.
Provided, of course, you have your user access set up correctly.

Subj: e-mails sent under one os to a recipient under a DIFFERENT os

From: [e-mail] (Brian M. Begg)

Hello Ghouls and Goblins:

Got a quick "compatibility" question (maybe u can help):

If I send e-mail under Windows 98 to a recipient who
operates her computer on ANOTHER os (i.e., Mac os), will
she get the e-mail?

Similarly, if web pages are posted to a web host that runs
their domain network on   os  "A",  can a  surfer having os "B"
access those web pages online?

Just curious, and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian ------- [e-mail]

P.S.  feel free to e-mail me if you wish, and if I should target
my news to more specific groups, could you help me with the
name of these more appropriate newgroups (I couldn't find
any specific to e-mailing !) ??

The question of E-Mail has a "depends" answer.

If the person using Windows 98 uses Outlook the person
the mail is sent to may not be able to read the "default"
Outlook E-Mail that uses HTML or proprietary Microsoft
extensions. E-Mail should be plain ascii text to ensure the
recipient will be able to read it.

And so does the web page question

The web pages will be able to read by anyone as long
as they follow the HTML standard and avoid proprietary
"extensions" that require specialized browsers to interpret
the web page.

One of the major problems with both E-Mail and web pages
is the prolliferation of "extensions" to the standards.

I don't think you'll find one.  Netscape knows nothing about "lan0" or
"lan1".  It only works with IP addresses, nothing else.  You can set
up TCP/IP configuration so that certain addresses travel via one card
or the other, but that's all you can do.  Those settings will also
affect *EVERY* other IP application.

I don't think there was any problem with the installation itself..
(I'm sorry if i gave that impression)

In case someone else experience consistent DOSCALL1.DLL crashes
related to internet networking it may be worth a try to check that the
"resolv" file doesn't have any allocation errors. After running chkdsk
/F from the utility disks (correcting an allocation error for the
"resolv" file) everything worked again.

Hello. I have 2 questions. The following questions are puzzling to me,
perhaps someone here can help.

1) Given an IP host address 192.168.5.121 and a subnet mask of
255.255.255.248, what is the network number of the host?

My book says it is 192.168.5.120, if so, could someone explain this?


2) What portion of the IP address 129.219.51.18 represents the network,
I chose 129.219.   The book says 129.215.  Who is correct? how could
they get 215?

As I am learning this, any feedback you can provide is greatly
appreciated.

Did you try using the CD to install those portions of the
OS into the maintenance partition. (Given they have PM
and WPS support...)?

When you copied over the config.sys portions did you also
copy over the device drivers and the programs to the
correct directories?

The following is not certified to be correct, it
only represents my understanding of the subject.

The relationship between the netmask and the IP address
are a bit more obvious (at least to me) if you render them
as four 1 byte hex values. Both of them represent a 32 bit
value.

The netmask 255.255.255.248 is FF FF FF F8
Only the zero bits in the netmask are allowed
to represent addresses with the sub-net (network).

This allows a variation of the last 3 bits for the
representation of the host IP address within
the sub-net (network number). This provides
192.168.5.121 through 192.168.5.127 as valid
IP addresses for that network. The zero value
is reserved within the sub-net.

The second one doesn't make any sense to me.
I would have said 129.219 given that the netmask
is 255.255.0,0 which is the usual class B IP address
group. The netmask value is required to determine
the network number.

192.* is a Class C address, so the net is 192.168.5.

Beyond that, I don't know.  I haven't read any 3-inch thick books on
TCP/IP (yet, perhaps).

That's a Class B address, so the net should indeed by 129.219.

But then again, I haven't bothered for figure out what netmasks are for,
and what they do.

Thanks for your input, the first one, I was able to figure out, you

both said class a is NHHH, b=NNHH, and c is NNNH, so the Network since
assigned by InterNIC cant be changed locally. It remains

Subj: Need new tape backup

From: Camilla Cracchiolo <[e-mail]> (Camilla Cracchiolo, R.N.)

I have to get a new tape drive.  I've got a HP Traven T-3000.

I'd like to get away from HP products altogether.  They have great
tech support, but I suspect that's because their products die so
often.  (Long history of failures here).

I'm considering a Seagate SCSI 8 Gig backup.  Anyone here have
experience with this drive?  Also, I'm currently using Backmaster.
Will it support this tape drive or do I have to get BackAgain/2?

Please send me an e-mail copy of any replies you post to the
newsgroup.

Thanks.

I gotta look at that (server took a dump and I'm digging my way out of that.
I gotta say, OS/2 is stable, but when it gets cranky, its cranky BIG TIME).

So basically its do-able?  Cool.  Command line is just peachy fine by me.
I'm quite used to "net use"

Warp 4's routing did not recognize 172.20.0 and 172.20.1 as different
nets, even when used with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.  That's with one
address on an ethernet card, and one on a token ring card, in the same
machine.

I had to use 172.20 and 172.22 (difference in the second octet), which
works with or without a netmask.

So OS/2's routing certainly isn't ignorant of address classes.

Also consider what happens when you put in a default route via the TCP/IP
settings notebook.  In addition to the default route, it adds a net route
that conforms to the address class.

I'm not a ISO engineer by any stretch - but without a doubt, my
hardware's MTBF figures were severely altered during this P2P
install attempt - If I had half an ounce of OS/2 sense... I'da hit
Deja searching for "peer" & "os/2" & "screwed" *before* I undertook
what seemed like a routine install ...

I still don't know which or where the problem was - the first line in
my config.sys is/was a REM line, and nearly all the path statements
were over 255....

The "fix" was to backup my existing config.sys, copy the original
installation config.sys from C:\OS2\INSTALL, installed P2P, migrated
the changes back to my Config.Sys and applied the P2P CSD

It's up, it's running, and I think I'm still bleeding over this
electronic anurisim !!!

Thanks again to all who e-mailed/responded with the help.

    The printer has to be shared from the NT box. You can then use it
from the os/2 system. You will also need an os/2 printer driver on your

Subj: Re: Need new tape backup

From: Alan Beagley <[e-mail]>

How many generations of backups are you going to make to a removable hard
disk?

I realize that the initial cost of a tape drive is higher, but the incremental
cost for additional backups and the ease of storing backups off site is a
tremendous plus.

Using DAT, a 4GB (uncompressed) backup costs less than $10.

And what happens if the hard disk controller goes belly up? The backup is
likely to be worthless too.

I believe that "hubs is hubs" that is, they are all the same if they are
working properly.  However, if one doesn't meet the 10BaseT specs then you
may have problems particularly with longer cables.

Subj: Problems with SOCKS and ICQ..

From: [e-mail] (Khairil Yusof)

Hmm..

Using MPTN8620, TCP/IP 4.1 (fixpack 1) and socks 5 server on a linux machine
(not mine).

Everything works through this proxy server, irc, ftp, telnet etc. Except ICQ
which uses UDP port 4000. Now Windows users using ICQ for windows say they can

connect through this socks server. I only get timeout errors though (ICQ/2,
ICQJava and licq). I tried different servers as well no luck.

Any suggestions?

OS/2's SOCKS support is at the v4 level, which doesn't support UDP.

You'll have to configure ICQ to use the SOCKS server.  ICQ/2 doesn't
support this yet, I believe.

The Java version does, however.  You need to go into Preferences, click on
the Connection tab, check off that you're using a firewall, and choose the
SOCKS5 setting from there.

I thought TCPIP 4.1 supports Socks 5?

It fails with this as well.. first thing I checked to see if the socks server
was working.

Everything else seems to work fine though.

At work, we do the same using PC-DOS.
You'll need the IBM DOS LAN Services or equivalent from MS, to build a
bootable diskette capable of connecting to the server.  IBM DLS should
be on the Warp Server or its CD.

Place all the Drive Image stuff on a server, so that you don't have to
keep it on the floppies.  Then create a batch file that logs you on to
the server and includes the PQDI subdirectory in the path.

Subj: Re: Problems with SOCKS and ICQ..

From: Nathan Herren <[e-mail]>

The problem may be related to Network Address Translation, if that's
what's implemented on the Linux proxy.

Frankly, I don't have much experience with NAT but was going to
implement it, researched it somewhat, and vaguely recalled that ICQ had
difficulties with it.  If everything else (other TCP/IP apps) works,
then I'd suspect the following:

8.0. NAT limitations

8.1. Applications with IP-address Content

   Not All applications lend themselves easily to address translation by
   NAT devices. Especially, the applications that carry IP address (and
   TU port, in case of NAPT) inside the payload. Application Level
   Gateways, or ALGs must be used to perform translations on packets
   pertaining to such applications. ALGs may optionally utilize address
   (and TU port) assignments made by NAT and perform translations
   specific to the application. The combination of NAT functionality and
   ALGs will not provide end-to-end security assured by IPsec.  However,
   tunnel mode IPsec can be accomplished with NAT router serving as
   tunnel end point.

   SNMP is one such application with address content in payload. NAT
   routers would not translate IP addresses within SNMP payloads. It is
   not uncommon for an SNMP specific ALG to reside on a NAT router to
   perform SNMP MIB translations proprietary to the private network.

8.2. Applications with inter-dependent control and data sessions

   NAT devices operate on the assumption that each session is
   independent.  Session characteristics like session orientation,
   source and destination IP addresses, session protocol, and source and
   destination transport level identifiers are determined independently
   at the start of each new session.

   However, there are applications such as H.323 that use one or more
   control sessions to set the characteristics of the follow-on sessions
   in their control session payload. Such applications require use of
   application specific ALGs that can interpret and translate the
   payload, if necessary. Payload interpretation would help NAT be
   prepared for the follow-on data sessions.

This info is out of an RFC.  The complete text is here
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc2663.html

I read somewhere (maybe on the ICQ homepage?) that ICQ has limitations
with NAT.  Of course, why it would work for your Windows users is beyond
me (then again, I could be wrong altogether :-) ).

Subj: Re: Need new tape backup

From: Howard Wong <[e-mail]>

First off, I am assuming you are putting the hard
drive in a "drawer" that can be removed from a
chassis that remains with the CPU box.

To reap full benefit of backups, the media holding
the backed up data should be stored in a location
away from the building the computer is located.
This requires transporting the storage media on a
regular basis, which is not what a typical hard
drive is designed for and you risk damaging the
HD. Moreover, such damage may not be noticeable
until you NEED the data for recovery.

Tape/MO/CD-R/JAZ/whatever with removable
disk/cartridge may be more expensive one way or
another, you get the intended protection that data
backup offers.

Howard Wong

Subj: Quicken 98 under os/2

From: [e-mail]

I run Quicken 98 Deluxe for Windows 3.1 under Warp.  I used to be able to
use it (and the version of M$ Internet Explorer 3.03 that came with it) to
update my portfolio and download updates to the program from the internet.
This no longer works.  When I try to connect, I get a winsock error "Inet
not running" and then the choice to "abort/retry/ignore."  What causes
this winsock error, and how do I correct it?  I have one copy of
winsock.dll, and it's in my dpath (I've tried it in both
c:\os2\mdos\winos2 and f:\tcpip\dos\bin).

Internet Explorer causes a GPF.

I have both a cable modem and a dialup account, though my resolv and
resolv2 files reflect only the cable modem account because I don't know
how to include information from both accounts in those files.  Thus, I've
tried to set up Quicken's internet for direct connection to internet.

Thanks for any help.

Just tested out AIM Java to use socks.. it works (AIM Socks that is). I think
AIM only uses socks 4 and TCP. Without internal socks support and using the
OS/2
Warp socks support works as well with AIM.

checking out netstat -s

ICQ/2 tries to open a UDP port on the DNS server specifed in socks.env. I
tried
3 different DNS servers and finally the one on the socks server itself.

You need Netbios over tcp/ip

see here:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/textdocs/OS2-Client-HOWTO.txt
and here:
http://huizen.dds.nl/~jacco2/samba/warp.html

Let me know please if you make it work.  I have not managed but we are
uncertain (ha, ha) how the machine I am trying to access advertises
itself, thus I have been unable to connect to it.

At the present time, maybe if there are any left you can buy an AIWA SCSI
tape drive which uses TRAVAN 4 cartridges.  Try computergeeks and
http://www.cc-solutions.com/  also called complete computer solutions.  I
got one of these a year ago and it is great.  I am running it off of a
cheap SCSI card with Nova bak.  These two vendors are also a terrific
source for SCSI and video and NIC cards as well as other stuff.

You did say that the gateway machine was running Linux, right?  Well,
Linux has IP masquerading built-in, which wouldn't have any problem with
UDP (my OS/2 masquerader even supports ICMP packets).

Aside from that, if a properly-configured ICQJava can't communicate
through the SOCKS5 server, then it's probably not configured to allow UDP
access.  I used the NEC SOCKS5 server on OS/2 before the InJoy gateway
program was available, and it did work with UDP (though too slowly to
allow a UDP-based game like Quake to function).

Do you have the Peer or Lan Requester configured to use both interfacec
or at least that one with number 1 ?

Normally the configure utility shows you all existing netbios interfaces
and you can check each one you would like to use.

If you added netios over IP after you configured Peer or LanRequester.
Peer or Lan Requester will not use the added interface.

Its recomended alway run MPTS through the peer or lan requester
configuration tool

I lost inet routing from WinOS2 by somehow losing my ETC variable in the

Once I re-entered and re-pointed it (SET ETC=E:\tcpip\dos\ETC)

and re-ordered my PATH
to

everything worked again.

Maybe it's as simple as that for you too ?

I wish it were that simple. This printer replaced a LJ 3 - which worked fine.
However the LJ 3100 is some sort of WinPrinter and doesn't seem to work with
anything other than the Win NT workstations and even then only with Win Apps.
DOS Apps cannot print to it even under NT.

I expected to be able to send something to it from OS/2 by printing to the
share but
this didn't even register on the NT Server - it appeared to print NOTHING.
No lights flickered and the printer object on Nt showed NOTHING in the print
queue.

Has anyone succesfully used a LJ3100 with OS/2? Over a network or otherwise?

Check the setting for NB/TCPIP Name pairs using the "Adaptors and Protocol
Services" in the system setup (with Warp 4) or LAPS or MPTS with
earlier versions. This must be set to a number high enougth to
accomodate all the PCs you want to connect to.

In fact go through all the settings for Netbios over TCPIP. There
are setting that equate the NETBIOS name with an IP address and
these speed up connection times (as long as you get them right!!!).

To connect to Linux with samba you WILL need Netbios over TCP/IP as
that is what samba does.

That is true - we needed this to connect to out P/390 (MVS)
before the connection software was upgraded to work via
TCPIP.

Subj: Connecting to a network - NIC-drivers needed!

Message sender: [e-mail]

From: [e-mail] (FW)

Ok, so I have to use an OS/2-client.

First off, let me say that I'm not really an OS/2-User. I need it to
run a Workflow-Buildtime by IBM, I don't usually work with it,
administrate it or use any applications under it. I don't really know
too much about it.

So, I'd like to connect to an NT-Network. I'm Admin for that, so I can
pretty much do what I want to - as long as I know what I have to do.

I run OS/2 Warp 4 on an old PC (AMD K5 150 / 32MB RAM / 3COM 900 COMBO
- NIC)

First off, I don't have drivers for the NIC, which is a 3COM 900
Combo. The 3COM-homepage wasn't really very useful, so if anyone has a
driver for that card and could send it to me or tell me where to get
one I'd be most thankful.

Once that obstacle is taken I'll propably call for help again, because
last time I tried this on a PC I had NIC-drivers for, it didn't work
either, and I'm sure I'll run into the same problems again!

Thanks,

Frank

First, is any network software installed? If not, intalling it may auto-detect
your card. In any case, for drivers of all kinds, go to the device driver pak
online.
The 3com section for lan adapters is at:

Good luck.

Subj: Re: Excessive ethernet collisions

From: Nathan Herren <[e-mail]>

Mike,

I know that this is a shot in the dark, however, I've had very strange
things happen when a LAN card grabs IRQ 9.  I'd be suspicious that your
ethernet card did so right when you added the token-ring card (or vice
versa).

I read the other 2 responses about duplex settings, however, if it
worked fine before the added token-ring card and nothing else has
changed, I'd suspect IRQ9 (still, it wouldn't hurt to follow up on their
suggestions).  The BIOS on my system has an option to set it
unavailable.  Try that and see what happens.

The SET ETC=\mptn\etc command is for CONFIG.SYS
and applies to OS/2 applications.

The SET ETC=\TCPIP\DOS\ETC is for AUTOEXEC.BAT
and applies to DOS and WINOS2 applications.

Subj: OS/2 networking questions..

From: [e-mail]

My office is running Win9x across a Novell network, I believe, and at
the moment thats about all I know about it.  My laptop is setup so
that if I boot to Windows it connects to the network.  Can anyone
point me to a FAQ that will tell me how I can get OS/2 to hook up to
the network?  I understand computers in general fairly well, but
_networking_ per se loses me, so I'm interested in something fairly
rudimentary.  (Tab A goes in Slot B, type this:  xxx, etc..)  What I
need to have installed in OS/2, software, etc..  As usual the folks
who setup our network know ixnay about OS/2 so I'm SOL there.

I'd much rather be using OS/2 than windows, so _any_ help is greatly
appreciated!

Sincerely,

Fritz

Obtain the Novell network client for OS/2 from:

URL http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/asd-bin/doc/en_us/catalog.htm

Install OS/2

Install the Novell Network Client.

This client works with Novell servers up to 4.12.

Can someone explain the point of having %ETC% using different directories
under OS/2 and DOS? I'd much rather have a single hosts file which is used
from all environments.

Um, no.

What the netmask does is control the network number, thus _overriding_
the "Class A,B,C" convention.

For 192.168.5.121, the netmask would only be 192.168.5 if the netmask
was 255.255.255.0 (or was unused) - which it isn't!

Writing the two addresses in binary, the two are MASKed to find the
NETwork number.

So, for IP 192.168.5.121 with netmask 255.255.255.248, we have:

11111111.11111111.11111111.11111000  <== netmask
11000000.10101000.00000101.01111001  <== IP address
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The two are ANDed together to find the network number, and NANDed
to find the host number.  Or, more simply put, the network number
is indicated by the 1's in the netmask.

As you can see, the netmask indicates that all but the last three
bits are network number.  So, in this case, the network number is

11000000.10101000.00000101.01111000  ==> 192.168.5.120
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
or 192.168.5.12x - and the host number is

00000000.00000000.00000000.00000001  ==> x.x.x.1
                                ^^^
Simple, right?  :)


As for the original poster's second question, he didn't give the
netmask so it's hard to know for sure.  If the netmask is default
for that address class, however, then it's probably a typo in the book.

Sounds like you've got what used to be called (any maybe still is, I don't
follow this Win garbage) a GDI printer. The only way you are going to get
anything out of it is by printing using the GDI interface - in other words a
Windows app.

The lack of output from DOS apps. on the NT box means nothing is ever going to
work from anything but Windows.
I'd suggest you junk it and get a proper printer (although I guess from your
message that you had nothing to do with its purchase and installation).
