It's the matter of routing.

I guess, when you connect with dial-up, it replaces the default route and
since that time
all your traffic routed by default goes through dial-up connection.

WIth tcp/ip 4.1 and above, though, you typically have a pretty long routing
table full of individual routes. Those routes take precedence over default
route. Thus. you can expect the network traffic to span somehow both
connections. depending on existing routes.

Run 'netstat -r' and tracerte to discover details.

Did you use the dialer in answer mode, Remote Office Services or some

Subj: DHCP bungles nameservers

From: "Karl M. Beem" <[e-mail]>

My Mediaone cable modem uses DHCP.  All too often, when I have just rebooted
it doesn't work.  The reason is that the nameserver addresses in
\MPTN\ETC\RESOLV2 are backwards (!), e.g. 66.1.88.24 instead of 24.88.1.66.
Since this file is created on bootup and only read once, the only option is
to reboot, sometimes several times until DHCP (or whatever) gets it right.  I
think that this problem started when they replaced  my modem with a DOCSIS(?)
one.  The other problem that occurred at the same time is that DHCPMon.exe no
longer works.  It always reports that the DHCP client is not running.  I have
MPTS 8620.  Any ideas?

Karl

Not true. It's read whenever a name is looked up by the resolver library.
You can just edit it, and the changes will take effect immediately.

That's not the way it works here.  Editing it does not help.

OK, once DHCP works, editing allows dynamic changes, so there must be another
problem along with the bungled nameservers.  There is no hint in the
dhcpcd.log.  This should have been obvious since Time868.exe does not work
(No Route to host) and it does not need the nameserver.

Hi Karl,

What happens if you renew your lease?
[C:\] DHCPMON /release
[C:\] DHCPMON /renew
If this helps, you could place it in STARTUP.CMD...

Seen this in our company. We have 2 DHCP-servers in our building, when I
got my address from #1, it happened as with you, from #2 everything was
ok. I am afraid the problem is in the DHCP-server...

Regargs,

Hello all. I am a registered user of Injoy Firewall 1.2. I have
effectively used the product to put 5 computers on the net by way of
NAT and the computers
used private address space. 192.168.100.0 example. I followed the
instructions and it put my computers on the net not a problem.
But I was not able to get Injoy Firewall 1.2 to portmap the outside
world to my www server on port 80. I have not been able to get it to
portmap anything at all. Nothing. May I ask did anyone have any such
luck. If so please tell how you did it. I have contacted the author of
the program and seems he has little patience to those of lesser
knowledge and was kinda rude. I guess we all have a bad day.  Heck I
am not a firewall engineer or a programmer. But would like my server
to be on the net too. Safely of course.
I think injoy firewall is a very good product. I have not had any
problems with it. Just the portmapping. It has not crashed on me or
been inconsistent or anything. But really wish I could get the
portmapping on it working. When my firewall is running it does not
give an firewall.err or anything. The filters load and work. And when
I dump the filters in use. It shows them which are enabled. I haven't
a clue why it will not portmap anything in.

To test this my current configuration.  I used another product to
portmap stuff in.
 I used Internet Igate. igos2146.zip. It mapped my ports in the first
time out. I was able to map the outside world to a private address
space 192.168.100.1 example and it worked.

I do not wish to use the Internet Igate product. I do not have
anything agaist it or anything. I just like the Injoy firewall the
best and paid for it and would like to use to the fullest if possible.






I noticed that there is a mailing list for Injoy and Injoy Connect but
not the Injoy firewall. If there was such an area I would have posted
my response there.
Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks

Subj: !!!MindSpring's ADSL with PPPoE and SafeFire PPP!!!

From: "Nick Saxon" <[e-mail]>

Hi all,

just want everybody looking for a winning combination, to know that there is
one!
MindSpring offers ADSL with PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) protocol. And SafeFire
PPP offers PPPoE
(just in time) right from the zip!

All I needed to configure for PPPoE to work was User ID and Password fields
in a ready-to-go
configuration file. The SafeFire PPP version installed was beta 58.

ADSL modem can be connected either directly to PC's Ethernet card or to an
Ethernet hub/switch.
My thanks to LinkGuard Solutions' guys!

Subj: Connecting Warp 4 client to an NT network

From: Jim Danvers <[e-mail]>

This has probably been hashed over a million time folks, sorry for
having to ask.  Is there a FAQ or some good web based resources that I
can use to get a warp 4 client successfully attached to the NT domain
that we have @my place of employ?  I have the box cfg'd (first time
install, no fix packs applied or anything, and was able to supply the
install with OS/2 drivers for the nic....   I can ping internal devices
on the network via IP only (no name resolution happening yet) so I know
that the connection is there.  We get out to the internet via an MS
Proxy Server gateway @corporate (over a wide area connection) - I cannot
ping anything "out in the world though" (IP or otherwise...)

I'll be more than happy to provide feedback and details if anyone is
willing to assist.  I would love to get this thing going good enough to
the point where I could become "productive" on it - ie:  have access to
NT server based shares (file sharing) and NT print queues.  Once I have
that capability, then I look forward to installing Star Office and
netscape.

Thanks in advance for any help folks!

Subj: Re: DHCP bungles nameservers

From: [e-mail]

I have the same problem in 1 boot out of 10 (also am dealing
with M1 cable).  I have found an easy circumvention:

  type 'DHCPMON -t' in an os/2 command window then
  type 'SETUP'  (restarts tcp/ip)

The restart works EVERY time.  I believe the initial failure
is a timing problem of some sort in the order in which
processes are started at boot, but the circumvention is so
easy I haven't bothered to try to play with it.  (My gut
tells me moving 'startup' from the startup folder will solve
it.)

My DHCPMON.EXE does function properly however.

Looks like you are running both NETBeui and TCPBeui on both systems.
So if you are having problems with both FTP and file/print sharing,
you may have multiple problems.  That you can ping  system A
from B means you do have the NIC driver on B set up OK and you have
a certain level of TCP/IP connectivity. Can you telnet from B to A?
How about TFTP from B to A?  (Remember to set up the daemons on A).

I don't see anything which looks wrong with the setup.cmd's or the
protocol.ini's you posted.  When running Warp on your B system,
what do you see when you do a 'net start' at the command line?

Also please post your \ibmcom\lantran.log and your \ibmlan\ibmlan.ini
from your b system.

You might also run netstat on both systems and compare them.  The
-a, -i, -t, -s, -n and -r parameters should show if anything is wrong
with your TCP/IP configuration.

Well, the release doesn't work, but then DHCPMon doesn't work.  It reports
that the DHCP client is not running.  Of course, this is bogus.

There is a nr2.ini file in the %ETC% directory -- looks binary.
NR/2 also takes parameters from the command line.  Type "NR2 -?" or
"tcphelp nr2" from the command line to get these parameters.

Subj: Re: DHCP bungles nameservers

From: Jeroen Besse <[e-mail]>

Bogus, well, maybe not. Check if DHCPCD.EXE is running (for instance
with PSTAT). I've noticed that sometimes this process (this is the
actual DHCP-processor) ends with SYS3175 (check your C:\POPUPLOG.OS2!).
In that case, you can easily start it again from an OS/2-window, by
typing DHCPMON (or, if you rather not see it running: DETACH DHCPMON).

Maybe another idea:
Change your C:\MPTN\ETC\DHCPCD.CFG file. Find the line "option 6
#domain name server", change it to "option 6 exec
"c:\mptn\bin\option6.cmd %s" #domain name server", and make your own
handler. This option6.cmd should then be a REXX-command file. It gets
one command line option: the data received from your DHCP-server. Make a
routine that checks the data, reverses the address, and place it in
RESOLV2. For testing: you won't see it running, so maybe you should let
the program create a log file. (BTW: if you start DHCPCD in an OS/2
window as described above, you CAN see it running in that window!) If
you're not a real REXX-hero, let me know, I can write a routine for you.

Best regards,
Jeroen Besse

OS/2 includes its own version of WINSOCK.DLL; it should be in
your /tcpip/dos/bin directory.  You *MUST* use this version and
not any standard Windows WINSOCK as the IBM version properly
passes the tcp/ip traffic to the OS/2 tcp/ip stack.  Make sure
your Win-OS/2 environment PATH has the /tcpip/dos/bin listed
before any other directories that might contain other versions of
WINSOCK.DLL (or simply remove the other versions if you don't
intend to use them from a native Windows boot).

Then make sure the "DOS_SETTINGS...DOS_DEVICE" section in the
Setting/Properties notebook for the Win-OS/2 session has an entry
for x:\TCPIP\BIN\VDOSTCP.SYS to load the virtual tcp/ip stack for
Win-OS/2.

Mat,
I went back and read the readme in the first disk of W08620B1.DSK

about a couple of files which were moved and to rename/delete the
obsolete ones.  Well
I checked and my old files were still there (on both systems).  I
guess due to my libpath
the old ones were being found first...
To make a long story short, after I made the appropriate deletions,
my tcpip connections worked ok
both ways FTP A->B and B->A :-)

But the Print & File Object on system B still was broken (Nothing
in the  network tab in its properties)
I re-installed it, and now I do have a network tab which now shows
that the Network is unavailable.
So I need one last shove to get that up (B->A). On system A it
still shows the Network is available.

Thanks for the help.

Yes it is possible and relatively easy.  You use the "Other Internet
Providers" dialer supplied with OS/2.  It sets up the TCP/IP stack for
you.  You need the RAS phone number, of course, and the
usercode/password to get onto the local network has to be setup on the
RAS box by the network administrator.  Once you get in any TCP/IP app
will work on the network.

Not an expert, but maybe I still could give you some help?
You could start by downloading dosbox.exe, with the latest winsock files.
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/tcpip/fixes/dosbox/latest/dosbox.exe
Run "DOSBOX .", which will unpack in current dir. Follow the readme file for
setup.
In CONFIG.SYS you need at least:
    DEVICE=X:\tcpip\bin\vdostcp.vdd
    DEVICE=X:\tcpip\bin\vdostcp.sys
    RUN=X:\tcpip\bin\VDOSCTL.EXE
In AUTOEXEC.BAT you need:
    SET ETC=X:\tcpip\dos\etc
    PATH=X:\tcpip\dos\bin;
In your win 3.1 object properties you need:
DOS_DEVICE should say X:\tcpip\bin\vdostcp.sys

Where of course the X should be changed to your drive.

Good luck...

Best regards
Stein

But now I wanted to try TCPBEUI. Where does MPTS look for to check if

From: John Simpson <[e-mail]>

Hi

I need remote access to some TCP/IP networked OS/2 Warp v4.0 systems.

I use Windows NT NetMeeting for my NT systems which allows full access
to a system's desktop.

Is there an equivalent for OS/2 or am I stuck with ftp, rexec and
telnet?

Thanks

I am not sure I understand your reference to NetMeeting as a remote access
tool, I always thought it is a teleconferencing program.

However, there is an absolutely wonderful little utility providing full
remote access to OS/2 desktop from _any_ computer with Java-enabled
browser installed. It is called Desktop On-Call, produced by IBM Japan
software unit. You can buy it on-line  via IBM Direct, it's only about $40
and worth each penny of this price. I use it to control my main server
from home and even from abroad. Also, there's WinNT version available to
control WinNT desktop in the same way. Nice feature of DToC is that it
runs over a standard HTTP protocol, so you can easily access your remote
machine from behind a NAT firewall, HTTP proxy, SOCKS proxy or whatever.
It is also pretty secure (uses MD5 security I beleive).

Subj: Connection a Win based Notebook to an OS2 network

From: Alex Smariga <[e-mail]>

I have 2 different Dell notebooks that I am trying to connect to my WSeB
servers.

One is a newer Latitude CPi running NT 4.0 (SP4) and the other is an
older XPi CD running Win 98.

I canont get either of these machines to recognise the OS2 domain, nor
can I even get far enough to get them to be able to be pinged.

They are using Xircom rthernet pc cards.

I have another desktop machine running Win 98 that was easy to set up
and get connected.  These machines are not anywhere as easy.

Is there a url or site that will show me how to get these machines
connected?

I would actually like to install OS2 on the older machine, but it just
does not want to have OS2 work with its PC cards, and the Notebook/2
site does not have any successes in getting it to work with OS2.

TIA.

Alex Smariga

Subj: Re: Remote Access to OS/2 (eg. MS NetMeeting)

From: "David Thacker" <David @ Thackernet.com>

G'day Ivan,

I use DTOC OS/2 as well, and find it to be very good.  One of the servers I
manage with it also runs IBM Screen Reader/2 software to provide speech for
a blind user, and DTOC is the only remote control software I have been able
to find that coexists on the server with SR/2.

IBM Direct Canada doesn't offer DTOC for sale, so I had to order it online
from IBM Direct USA and "borrow" a friend's US address to sdatisfy the
online ordering software...

I also use Remote Sevices Management from Innovative Software Solutions on
another server.  However, they were acquired by Peregrine Software last year
and I don't know the status of RSM anymore.

I have a 2 slight problems with DTOC though, and perhaps you can help.  I
have sent in problem reports to IBM but they have not responded.

1. I cannot seem to send a CTRL-C or CTRL-BREAK keypress to the remote
computer.  I toggle the CTRL button, then press C or BREAK, but it is not
seen on the receiving end.  The remote computer just registers a plain C
keypress.  have you figured out how to make this work?  I tried this using
both MSIE5 and Nav4.61 from my Win2K workstation.

2. I cannot get DTOC to display or work with a full screen session on the
remote PC.  When I open a full screen command prompt for example, the
browser just displays garbage and I cannot work with the remote computer
anymore.  On the remote computer, the full screen session is opened.

Any ideas?

Still using Powerweb server here BTW, although I am converting my mail
system over to Inet.Mail.

What is DTOC ?

I never heard about it. Is it similar to DCAF (Distributed Console

Now I should ask you what's it - DCAF? ;-))

DToC is a simple server/client package that can open OS/2 (or WinNT) desktop
on a remote machine (where the server part is installed) inside a browser on
a local workstation. It gives you full access to all desktop functionality:
you can click on icons to start programs on remote host, move and scroll
remote program windows, etc. You just have remote desktop inside your local
browser as if the remote computer is at your desk. Of course, this is a bit
slower than operating this machine locally, but due to clever compression
techniques used it works reasonably good even across very slow connections.

Best thing about DToC is that you do not need to install any client part at
all to gain access to the server. Client is a small (63Kb) Java applet that
is demand-loaded from server each time you initiate a connection. This means
you can access your server remotedly from _any_ computer with Java-enabled
browser. Just type in an URL and voila - it works. Another nice feature is
that the service is run via standard HTTP protocol, guaranteed to be routed
across _any_ proper network setup: NAT firelwall, proxy, SOCKS, etc. This is
usually not true for other similar packages (like NetOp or PM2You).

Also, DToC is rather cheap, compared to alternatives like NetOp or PM2You.

Ivan

I also borrowed my copy from a friend who obtained it bundled to his WinNT
version and never used not needed. I am not sure this was perfectly legal
transfer, and I'd _love_ to buy a license myself, but alas, I was not able to
do that. IBM Direct support people routed me to IBM Russia, and IBM Russia
turned me back to IBM Direct :-(. Another example of IBM developing a
wonderful product and than failing to market it, IMO.

Same here. Sometimes this is really annoying.

Did not try starting fullscreen sessions on remote host yet. I doubt I ever
had any need to do that. I will check this tomorrow, don't want to lose
access to my server right now (as I am at home). I'll post my experience
later.

>Any ideas?

I heard v.3.0 is already out, but only in Japanese. Maybe these bugs were
already fixed? Anyway, they are only minor ones, and DToC is a great product.

BTW, DToC also works fine with WSeb (Aurora). Neither NetOp nor PM2You does,
both trap the system here.

I am still happy to run PW as my complete Web serving solution, apart from a
bad taste left after that incident with John V. and Compuserve (you know what
I am talking about). But as long as PW works smooth here, I have too little
reasons to move to anything else...

I had the same problem early on also.  The port mapping function is not
available with the standard version, you need the professional version.
IMHO, less people would be confused if the standard version was called
"InJoy Gateway" and the professional version "InJoy Firewall".

Another thing which I found very confusing is the system of multiple
config files (there are seven of them I believe).  First of all, IJF
doesn't tell you which files it reads; then, if you put the commands in
the wrong file, it doesn't produce error messages, it simply ignores the
misplaced commands!

Sounds like good'ol Bjarne alright!

I was confused by this also.  Discussions on IJF take place on the InJoy
Dialer list; I suggest you subscribe to it.  Once it's up and running, IJF
is a great program.

No.  I don't have the same problem, but I had Q99 on a W98 machine
going through a Warp / i-gate set up to the net.   What I found was
I could get normal browser https through port 1080 OK but Quicken
would not get secure data.  I ran IPTRACE and IPFORMAT and
could see that the authentication request / response sequence
going through (I assume OK, but have not taken the time to understand
SSL so I don't know exactly what the protocol is ) but eventually the
server would send something and Quicken would never respond so the
connection appeared "hung" until Quicken eventually timed-out and
shut down the request.  I suspect the solution would be to socks-ify
the TCP/IP stacks but I gave up and instead switched to INJOY NAT.
I have not tried INJOY firewall with a cable modem, but I think such a
configuration is possible.  You may want to look at that approach,
although it sounds like a Win machine is routing to the net in your setup?

Exactly!  IBM should do software development and licence it to MS for
marketing & distribution...

The bill on my credit card came to about $65 Canadian, still a very good
price for the software.

I have changed most of the things I want to work with remotely to windowed
sessions, so it's not a major deal, but annoying still.

Ahh.  That's good to hear -- I'll keep an eye out for the US version 3 then.
I sure wish there was a direct developer email contact for the product, but
I suppose I would have to understand Japanese in order to converse with them
anyway...

Yes, the web serving part of PW is rock solid and working very well for me.
The SMTP server just wasn't stable enough in my situation though -- too many
lockups were being caused by it.  What version of OS/2 and stack level are
you running it on?  I am using Warp 4 FP 10, with the unpatched 4.00e stack.
I have converted a test machine to TCP/IP 4.2, but haven't been able to test
PW under it yet.  I'd like to move to the 32-bit stack, but I don't want to
hose my whole system in the process.

"Bad Marketing" isn't nearly descriptive enough - when you spend $100
and hours on telephone calls, STILL can't find anyone within IBM to sell
an IBM product with the IBM part number handed to them on a silver
platter . .  then people bitch about "piracy."  Sheesh !!!

Check the presence of IBMLVL.INI file in the root of your boot drive. If you
have missed one you can place my file (attached). The contents of this
file isn't very important for the MPTS Maintenance program - this program
only checks it's presence.

Subj: socket timeout

I have a problem while receiving data via a proxy server. I'm receiving
bulk data from an internet host, and after a specified time
(OutputTimeout) on my proxy server the proxy closes the connection (when
no data has been sent during this specified interval). I can alter this
timeout value on my proxy, but I thought it was possible to use
keepalive packets to keep the connection 'up'. Unfortunately this
doesn't seem to work. How can I force the proxy to keep this connection
up, while *not* actually transmitting data to the other host?

Regards,
Jeroen

Subj: Re: NAT/Firewall: InJoy or TCP/IP 4.2?

From: Bjarne Jensen <[e-mail]>

Originally it was actually called the InJoy Gateway, but
that gave a lot of confusion too. One problem was that a
top-level name was needed to cover both versions (of the
same program) and we didn't want two sets of docs, web and
purchase options.

> Another thing which I found very confusing is the system of

The documentation clarifies what files to use and even the
comments in the top of the files tell fairly clear what they
are used for..

>then, if you put the commands in the wrong file, it doesn't
>produce error messages, it simply ignores the misplaced

That would be because your file included the information
needed by the firewall, so the firewall doesn't read the
rest of the file looking for displaced firewall rules.
If you put rules into files, by random, then you are
gonna get into problems with a lot of software though..

I don't think that's fair to say, but some people think they
know exactly how we should create our software and if we decline
their idea (which we obviously sometimes have to), then the
person will either understand, but some don't.

Subj: Re: Remote Access to OS/2 (eg. MS NetMeeting)

From: [e-mail] (Harald Portig)

Thanks, Ivan, for making us aware of this program.

I bought the program at the URL below and had it working within less
than two hours after your post.  The program appears to work well,
even though a little slowly when accessing the server (PC being
controlled) by phone.  One can even lockup and unlock the server
destop remotely, and the server's display does not have to be powered
up.  Some things seem to be problematic, though, like how to use Ctrl,
Alt and Shift keys together with other keys or the mouse.  WIN-OS2
seamless sessions work.  Full-screen WIN-OS2 does not work -- they
start on the server but cannot be seen or controlled at the client.

It's interesting, though useless, to observe what happens when the
client and server are the same machine (http://localhost:80) :)

Harald Portig

What kind of proxy-server do you use? If you use Squid, there are a lot
of options like "negative_ttl", "connect_timeout", "siteselect_timeout",
"read_timeout", and many many more you can tune for your needs.

keepalive parameter from inetcfg means only how much time socket in
CLOSE_WAIT state will be alive before it can be used by the system.


With best regards,
Timur Kazimirov

Subj: DSL Not Always On

From: "Walter S. Rue" <[e-mail]>

Maybe I was imagining it, but I was sure that the BellAtlantic rep I
spoke with about their DSL service said that OS/2 was supported.  In the
install kit they sent, the CD with only Win software on it was the first
ominous sign, then the instruction booklets with only Win related
instructions in it, finally the voiced denial by their reps when I
phoned back to confirm.

They require a special signon after the TCP/IP (DHCP) connection using
proprietary software from IVasion named PoET, to be repeated at the
beginning of each session (even though the line is non-switched).
IVasion products are exclusively Win9x & NT.  No static IP options.  So
much for "always on".

Might this signon after all be a standardized process available in the
likes of InJoy?  Has anyone else worked around a similar problem?

From: "David Thacker" <David @ Thackernet.com>

Harald,

Welcome to the DTOC fan club!

Make sure you have set the compression level and display colours to be
optimized for a slow connection -- it makes a big difference in apparent
speed.

I tend to have better luck with it using NS Communicator rather than MSIE.

Yes, I too have encountered the problem of not being able to send a CTRL-C
to the server, although I have sent ALT key combinations fine.  I also had
the same problems with full screen sessions.  Ivan noted that he heard that
DTOC 3.0 was available in Japan (where it is developed) so it likely won't
be long before the English version 3.0 is available too...

Subj: Re: DSL Not Always On

From: "David Thacker" <David @ Thackernet.com>

Walter,

Longshot:
Perhaps it is possible to run the PoET Win32 app using Odin, the project
that is attempting to make it possible to run Win32 program natively in
OS/2.  Worth a try at least.  http://www.netlabs.org/odin/

More Likely:
The name PoET sorta leads me to think PPP over Ethernet, which is the DSL
protocol now used by Bell Sympatico in Eastern Canada.  Perhaps you could
try an OS/2 implementation of PPPoE to see if that is what PoET is actually
doing?  Here is a snip from an earlier posting in this newsgroup:
--
Link Guard Solutions is proud to present new beta of SafeFire PPP.

0.9.58 beta gives PPP over Ethernet access for OS/2 users for only $15
(Value
version)
Now SafeFire PPP is working with Sympatico Canada ISP.

Subj: Socket timeouts

From: Jerry Stuckle <[e-mail]>

Hi, all,

I'm not a TCP/IP expert, but here goes...

I have a problem with Injoy dial-on-demand.  Sometimes it takes so long
for the connection to be made that whatever request triggered the DOD
times out.  Is there a way to lengthen the timeout parameters for
TCP/IP?  I don't see anything in the MPTS or TCP/IP notebooks.

TIA.

Subj: DoD, Multilink PPP and NAT in OS/2?

From: [e-mail]

I was wondering if anyone knew of any applications for OS/2 that support
Dial-on-Demand, Multilink PPP over 56K modems and Network Address
Translation for client PCs on a network.  I was using InJoy for quite a
while, but my bandwidth requirements have recently gone up, and so I
need something that isn't ISDN, Cable or DSL.  F/X once said something
about MPPP being a priority for a new version, but gave no timetable.

I am currently forced to use Win98 in place of OS/2 on the dialler
machine because all of this is built into Second Edition.  But it is
flaky at best.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

I want to go back to my venerable OS/2, if possible.  Linux was an
option, until I realized that no matter what you want to do with Linux,
it requires "make this" and "recompile that."  It has a long way to go
as an end-user OS.  Not my cup of tea.

Again, any help is appreciated.

Has anyone figured out why UML works fine on-line with the 32 bit

Letters composed off-line end up in the deadlet.ter file instead of the

made.

Or you could use InJoy firewall with the PPPOE plugin.  No sense in buying
another piece of software if a simple plugin will work.  I'm very interested
to see if this works because I am planning on getting a dsl connection from
bell atlantic around feb/march.  Stuff like this really pisses me off.  Why
the f*ck do they feel the need to take such measures to exclude other OS's.
I wouldn't be surprised if they have a deal with MS to do this.

Subj: help with win98/warp4  ethernet please

From: "Steve Rose" <[e-mail]>

I'm completely new to networking, but I'm studying for my A+ certification,
so I thought I should get my feet wet. My main system is a AMD K6 300 3dnow
with 96M of ram. From mostly discarded parts I put together a 486-66 with 16
M. In order to do something useful on the latter I installed Warp4. I bought
2 used NICs and started to play. Main objectives : sharing of printer, CD
and zipdrives. If I can hook the 486 to the web with the windows computer's
modem I would consider that a definite bonus.  Installing the network
adapters was relatively simple   but the computers still aren't
communicating with each other. What do I still need to do? I' ve turned on
sharing, manually configured IP addresses and such, but obviously I'm
missing something. Any suuggestions (besides running Windoze on both boxes)
will be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

OS/2 hides the network from the WINOS2 sessions.

Any drive mapping is done by OS/2 and the drives
appear in WINOS2 as if they were local drives. The same
applies to printers. The "Connections" -> "Printers" folder
should have a template for a "Network Printer". Use this
to create a Network Printer on OS/2 that is mapped to the
printer on the Windows box and assign it an LPT port
number. WINOS2 will then see the printer as assigned
to a local LPT port.

Thanks for your help, timur, but is not ibmlvl.ini
I re-installed IBMCOM and while installing, I could use "configure"
but after rebooting and calling MPTS on the command line, "configure"
is gray again.
Don't know what it is...

This looks like an interesting program, looking around the web page.
I'm evaluating possibilities for this kind of thing myself (Netfinity
is nice, but kind of slow).

I couldn't find anything about trial versions or evaluations, though...
just an ordering link.  Is there such a thing?  I'm certainly not going
to buy something without being able to try it out first...

Subj: SYS1719 with NETWKSTA.200

Message sender: [e-mail]

From: [e-mail] (Jens)

I always get SYS1719 from NETWKSTA.200 while booting (no other error
message) and netwksta.200 is not installed.

I tried to use netbios over tcp/ip. I have a standalone-pc (no network
card) with tcp-dialup.
Lantran.log shows no errors.
I read the newsgroups, the web-pages referring to that, changed my
configuration, booted 20 times...no result - NETWKSTA.200 won't load.
Maybe something is wrong with ibmlan.ini, but there is no way to test
it.

So, is there any way to debug this ? Is there some utility to load or
to simulate loading of the netwksta.200 after I have booted ?

Thanks,
Jens

Have you tried using the Software Parallel Port NIC
so that there is an interface for NETBIOS or NETBIOS/TCPIp
to bind to?

Use MPTS to select SSW Parallel Port NIC-less adaptor
and configure that with the protocols.

Did that.  Thats what give the message.  Alls fixed now, just cloned the
server machine and restored INIs and the like.  back in Biz.  THou I at first
just copied the EXE, but that didn't fix it.  Though I don't think I tried to
run it from server locally.

    Always? From the very first time you installed OS/2? ;)
    sys1719 means the device driver specified in config.sys could not be
found:

SYS1719: The file *** specified in the *** statement
on line *** of the CONFIG.SYS file does not contain a valid device
driver or file system driver.  Line *** is ignored.

    netwksta.200 is only needed for peer networking, not tcp/ip. Did you
install that? Installing netbios-over-tcpip is only a prerequisite for
peer network. If you are not running peer networking, you can delete
that line.
