It probably is, though I'm not in favor of it.  If a person is stupid
enough to enable file and printer sharing without assigning passwords to
the shares, I will not look on the results with pity.

It just so happens that it's all too easy to do this in Win95.

Unless it is for anther application, you don't need native netBIOS
enabled.

You should have something like the following in your
\IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI:

  net1 = tcpbeui$,0,LM10,34,70,14

(assuming you are going to just use the Netbios over TCP/IP stack).

Not sure if you should have the node type hybrid (H-Node) or not
for the SAMBA WINS inmplementation.  However, B-Node is for
use when you rely on a names and broadcast lists.  So you
probably should be either an H-Node or a P-Node.  H-Node
should cover you.

Warp 3 did not ship with a full TCP/IP stack. The Internet Access Kit
(IAK) on the Bonus Pack CDROM contained a dial-up ONLY TCP/IP
component that, as far as I know, is NOT upgradeable.

Subj: PMMail behind IPMasq? Works once, then reboot needed.

From: [e-mail] (Stephen)

I have set up a home network that uses a Linux machine to do IP
Masquerading. The internet access is through @Home with Rogers cable in
Toronto.

It was a struggle, but almost everything works works perfectly.

On the OS/2 machine I run PMMail. When I access my mail accounts
with @Home everything is normal for the first few times. Then, the check
for mail run returns as though I have no mail. It connects, but no error. I
do have email, though!

I have no idea how to investigate this. Any ideas?

Thank you.

When you've established that it's incorrectly reporting no new mail, open
a command line window, and type 'iptrace > nul'

Then check the mail again, and press CTRL-C in the command line window to
stop the IP trace.  Then type 'ipformat > iptrace.txt'.  Go through that
text file and paste all of the data segments that were sent to and
received from your POP3 server (the address will be in the header of each
packet) to a separate file.  Post that file's contents, and we can see
just what is going on between client and server, if anything.

If you can get a copy of Warp Connect, you can install Warp
Connect's tcp/ip stack on top of the original stack without
having to change anything else on the system.

Beginning with FixPak 11. And yes, FP#9 is a good package.

Not really. If it works for you, there is no need to change. An upgrade
to a 32-bit stack may increase performance, but it may cause problems
as well.

4.61 is the version number of the current Communicator/2 version. For
the stack, you can choose between 4.0, 4.2, 4.21. (4.1 requires Software
Choice Subscription, 2 years, $209).

You could try using IPTrace (turn tracing on, conduct the transaction, turn
tracing off,
format the *.dmp file and view it) to see what is going on.

In 4.61, open preferences->fonts and select a different fixed font.
You probably don't have the default Courier New font on your machine.

Subj: LiveUpdate fails after ICMP fix

From: "Stephen Eickhoff (remove the - to reply)" <[e-mail]>

I have a problem on two machines where LiveUpdate no longer works. Liveupdate
looks up the ftp site, then when it tries to log in in step 2, it fails with
error code 11. One machine is running e-biz, the other Warp 4. However, they
both have TCP/IP 4.21.

E:\eval\mptn\SYSLEVEL.MPT
                         IBM OS/2 TCP/IP Stack
Version 5.50     Component ID 5639B1700
Current CSD level: WR08620
Prior   CSD level: WR08610

E:\tcpip\bin\SYSLEVEL.TCP
                         IBM TCP/IP for Warp

Version 4.21     Component ID 5639A6600
Current CSD level: UN02100
Prior   CSD level: UN02000

Somehow they ended up with different protocol drivers, though. I think it's
because I attempted to fix the problem on the e-biz machine by reinstalling
TCPIP 4.21:

Warp 4.5 server:
Version numbers of TCP/IP protocol drivers:
   SOCKETS.SYS: 6.2001
   AFOS2.SYS:   6.2000
   AFINET.SYS:  6.2002

Warp 4 client:
Version numbers of TCP/IP protocol drivers:
   SOCKETS.SYS: 6.1003
   AFOS2.SYS:   6.2000
   AFINET.SYS:  6.1008

The Warp 4 box worked fine with 4.1 and no fixes, but every once in a while it
would fall off the network, so I installed the ICMP/routing fix and this fixed
the problem. However, I think it also caused this one, because it looks like
it stopped getting LiveUpdates around this time.

Subj: Re: Version of TCP/IP

From: Jim Danvers <[e-mail]>

Hi everyone...

(Lorne.. you kinda "know me!")

I have been playing  / experimenting w/Warp v4 for a little while now and
presently have this PC running @FP9 with the WR8610 thing applied (MPTS
part I think).  I have learned from many Os/2 folk about using something
called dskxtrct to extract fixpack disk images to the hard disk to apply
'em to an OS/2 system.  It has proven to be most useful.  I have printed
out directions that I have used with very satisfactory results for the
base fixpacks - but I haven't been able to locate any such info with
respect to the MPTS or the IP stack things.  I "guessed" (literally) at
the MPTS thing and it worked great - I just used the dskxtrct util to
extract the WR8610 package to a temp directory and then ran "MPTS" from
the cmd line as instructed in the readme.  I rebooted and then thought
that I'd be able to do the same with the WR8620 package as I have done
with the base level fix pack (extract to temp dir and then run fservice) -
no go.  :(  Anyone know how I can do this with this piece of the package?
(WR8620)

Is that "Warp-up!" thing that indelible blue has worth what they want for
it (it isn't much I don't think..  20'ish dollars?)  Anyone know or used
it?

Thanks folks!

-=- J.D. -=-

(P.S.)  I'm actually (finally) reading and posting to these groups in OS/2
now instead of being dual-booted over to the other side (win 95) on this
box.  ;)

Timur and Mark...

Thanks guys for the info - thanks for the encouragement Mark (re: your old
486!)

Timur (and everyone else...)  I downloaded the WR8610 & WR8620 packages per
your post
and have been able to get the 8610 part of it installed by using something
called
dskxtrct (that thing is great!).  I used that extraction util to extrack 'em
out to a
temp dir on the hard disk and then ran "MPTS" as instructed to - it did its
thing and
all is well.  After I rebooted I thought that I would do the same sort of
thing with
the 8620 package as I did when appliying the base FP (9) - use dskxtrct to
extrack
the disk images to hard drive and then use the csf141 "fservice" command to
get it
installed - I have not had any luck doing this with the 8620 package.  :(
Anyone
here have any idea how I can install this using the hard disk method or am I
stuck
creating disk images (pain in the butt....  :(  )  <grin>

From: Jim Danvers <[e-mail]>

Hey...!!

One good thing to say about participating in "niche" OS circles - when posting
questions about "how do I do this and that" , etc...  one finds that one can
get right to the "meat" of the topic from very well respected people in the
circle!  :)  Your's (Ollie) is one of the web sites that I have (A) been to
and bookmarked, and (B) is highly lauded by many in the OS/2 news groups as
being a great reference for info.  And now I get feedback from "the guys
himself"  :)  Cool.  This is kind of like a trip back to "the good old days"
of bbs'ing and fido-net which was also a great source of info on a wide
variety of topics (mainstream and "other / niche")

Thanks for the response and assistance - as soon as I post this msg I'm off to
the link that you direct me to!

Hi Jim

The WR8620 update works the same way as the standard
fixpacks. You extract the files to a directory, and use the
CSF 141 fix tool to apply it.

WR8610 is what is known as a "refresh update". These are
complete replacements for the earlier versions. That's why
it has a different method of installation.

Subj: syslogd from TCP/IP 4.1 with TCP/IP 4.2 stack

From: Vincent Bernat <[e-mail]>

Hello !

I have tried to run syslogd from TCP/IP 4.1 with my TCP/IP 4.2 stack. I
get :
Syslogd version 1.0
Error: Couldn't resolve hostname 'e:\mptn\etc\syslog.msg'
Exception = c00000005 occurred at EIP = 267bc.
I have no syslog.conf or syslog.cnf.
What is the problem ? Where to get a correct syslog daemon (compatible
with TCP/IP 4.2 and able to manage alone the log files) ?

Did you try a 'netstat -r'
I think I had this error msg with a problem of more than 8000 routing
entries, the problem was related to mpts8610.

If this is your problem, I can tommorow look, what was the fix for it.

Look in your mptn/etc directory for syslog.cnf it should be there.

Also if you update to the U10001 TCPIP apps you should get

OS/2 Syslogd version 4.1 (TCP/IP 4.1 with U1001 fixpak)
9-02-98  11:51p     98913           0  syslogd.exe

There is not very much documentation on this version.  It will rotate logs
per the comments in the syslog.cnf file.

at Hobbs   http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/system/
you can find a unix syslog port  syslog2b.zip.  This has best overall
support and compatibility.
or a unix like syslog program sysl10.zip.  This file has rexx support.

You any one has any documentation on any syslog version, please send it
to "os2atw @ walkabout.org" (remove spaces).

os2.walkabout.org/atw is the new home of os2 Around the World.  I will post
any Syslog Documentation

I am running  a Warp 4 compter, fp12, tcpip 4.1 as a DNS server.
I am running bind 8.2.1 port for os/2.
The TCPIP Level is 5.3007/1/6.  I
have not added the 8610 or 8620 FP.
I also am running daytimed for time service.
I have activated the TCP/IP 4.1 Stack Firewall
I have 2 other computers that are also running this

I have gotten the folloiwng error

The computer will run for 2-3 days just fine - then IP will
lock up.

Any Ideas?

I have had similar problems with PM Mail.  Most of the time the problem

That only confirms that 2.07m is the last 2.0 stack version.

Further upgrades require a MPTS licence (e. g. as part of a LAN Requester
package), which offers stack updates to 4.21 or the TCP/IP 4.1 package by
donating $200+ to IBM for a Software Choice subscription.

Maybe it works after applying TCP/IP 4.1 CSD UN01001? It comes with a new

As an addition to this recommendation (flooding off routing table)...
This problem was solved in the latest MPTS fixpack.

Bind 8.2.1 uses emx runtime. Unfixed emx (0.9c and 0.9d) has a serious
bug with freeing sockets after releasing them. Another problem is that
default value for keepalive parameter for 4.1 stack is 7800 seconds,
so I recommend you to fix emx runtime and decrease this parameter
(inetcfg -s keepalive 60).

Hmm... Very strange... Applying 8620 on my Warp 4.0 was like a usual base
fixpacks
installations. Extracting kicker, extracting images and running Fix.cmd (very
simple)
That's all...

=== begin of FIX.CMD ===
set csfutilpath=d:\fixpack
set csfcdromdir=d:\fixpack

=== end of FIX.CMD ===

Subj: Netscape in Win-OS/2 not working

From: [e-mail]

I have been getting help from a number of folks and appreciate everything.
The problem is that I STILL can't get Netscape in Win-OS/2 to work.  Here
are the facts:  I have seen the Winsock help files and am doing EVERYTHING
right.  I am loading vdostcp.sys in the dos_device box, I am setting etc in
the
autoexec.bat and am pointing to the etc directory where I have the resolv file
kept.  I have the correct winsock in the tcpip\bin directory, etc etc etc.
Yet it still doesn't work.  I know that it is not Netscape, because NO 16-bit
tcp/ip application wotks either (aim, real audio, etc).
I'm using Warp 4.0 with FP12 and TCP/IP 4.1.  This machine is behind a NAT
firewall on a peer to peer system.  I had it working for months, but messed it
up while I was trying to tweak it.  Now it is not coming up at all.
I can connect fine is OS/2 (Netscape 4.61 for OS/2).  It is only the 16 bit
Netscape (4.04 and 4.08) and also Internet Explorer that doesn't connect.  I
need
it for Quicken.  Can anyone give me any help beyond pointing to the
traditional
help files which explain those things I've aleady done?
Any Help would be greatly appreciated....Thanks.

What is the exact error message you have? Does WPING.EXE works?

Make sure you are running TCPBeui on the Warp machine.
Remember that you have to put TCPB on a different virtual

From: Jeff Proefrock <[e-mail]>

As recommended from an earlier post, I downloaded TSERVE and have been
trying to make it work for me as a ppp server.  I have gotten mixed
results.  It seems to have trouble initializing the modem most of the
time.  It lowers the DTR for 5 seconds, brings it back up then times out
with an error 14.  Then other times it will initialize fine.  I thought
at first it was the modem, but I've tried 4 different modems now with
the same results.  Anyone out there had the same experiance?

In case it matters, I'm running Warp 4/FP6.

I got exactly the same problem with TServe well back ago (2.5 years?) when I
tried it for the first time. Further investigations showed that rougly half
of all communication programs I tried displayed the same problem (but another
half worked properly). It looks like a bug in some standard comms library
used by different OS/2 development tools (Borland?). It was under Warp 4
FP1-3 I beleive, with USR Courier 33,600 modem. Since I failed to workaround
this problem, I switched to aDialIn (now discontinued) which worked for me
very well for a long time. More recently I replaced aDialIn with PPPServ, a
simple yet flexible program written by a friend of mine on my request. It
includes many features I need, but I am not sure they are useful for anybody
else.

As a state-of-the-art solution I can recommend SafeFirePPP:

This one is shareware, not freeware though.

Subj: DToC w/ IBM Networks Coordinated Client - installation order is

From: "L. Engelhart" <[e-mail]>

I've discovered that on NT workstations using the IBM Networks Coordinated
Client,
the client has to be installed before DToC.  Therefore, if you already have
the
IBM Networks Primary Client installed (which doesn't  permit login via DToC)
you
first have to uninstall that, then install the Coordinated Client, then
finally
install DToC.

This becomes a problem, of course, when one wants to apply NT service packs,
because those require that the IBM client first be uninstalled, then
re-installed
after the SP is applied.  This can't be done via DToC since reinstalling the
client breaks DToC which then also has to be re-installed at the workstation
itself.

This really need fixing so that DToC will work with either client, and also
not
break when the client is re-installed.

Well, they don't. There's the way Berkeley did it, and the way AT&T did
it. This is a religion thing..

I don't use it, but while I was trying to do something else entirely, I
ran across a 2 paragraph entry on it in one of the WSeB redbooks.  The
important (read: non-obvious but still understandable) part is that the
built-in NAT requires you have one 'real' IP address for each machine
you wish to connect to the internet.  How (or why) they call that NAT is
beyond me.

Because it is.  Network address translation is not about sharing one IP
address with several machines.  That's one possibility of NAT taken
advantage of by Linux, and the InJoy and SafeFire products.

The general idea of NAT is to overcome the limitations of static IP
addresses.  What those limitations are depend entirely on the environment
in question.  For some, it might be a matter of simply redirecting
external traffic to the correct internal machine, which has an IP address
that varies each time it's booted.

TSERVE uses RXCOMM library to control modem. This library
isn't very good.

To tell the true if there are no needs to _very_ secure incoming
calls and there are no big number of clients you can use usual
PPP.EXE program as a server without additional programs.

I used it but I have some trouble with it. It seems that TCP/IP 4.1
firewall don't want to log anything on it. The second problem is that I
think that Unix "categories" are not fully respected (mail, news, debug,
info, etc.). The last problem concerns the rotation of log files. Is it
supported ?

Has anyone got the remote shell daemon, RSHD, working under OS/2?

It starts OK but I'm unable to connect to it from a client, but suspect
this is due to authentication.

Is authentication done through a combination of rhosts and trusers?
If so, an example would be useful...

You can use a special version of OS2You (that you can get on request) that
works with TSHELL.  Try the ordinary version of OS2You first, and if you find

Well, I don't see any relation between PM and TelnetD. I suppose that it

I agree that there shouldn't be any dependency on the availability of
PM to run text mode apps, but that doesn't always seem to be the case...
When I try running telnetd there are a whole load of dll's reported as
missing including PMSHAPI, PMWIN, PMMERGE etc.

Subj: Re: Internet Satellite Feed with Os2

From: Michael W. Cocke <[e-mail]>

I'll make you a great deal on a used Planet Connect receiver, and I'll
pass along the following accumulated tips:

Forget the little dish (unless you're trying to do this DSS) - you'll
need a 3.8 meter or better for anything like a reliable connection,
unless you're located 10 feet from the transmitter.  People (especially
SALESpeople) may tell you different.  You can try it if you want, but
don't waste too much time on it.

Hire someone who knows what they're doing to align the dish.  This will
probably need to be done at least once a year.

Yes, you can run the software (Planet Connect and the defunct and
unlamented Pagesat) in the DOS window of an OS/2 system.

I can't recall either of the two names, but if anyone involved with your
prospective provider was associated with Pagesat, change providers -
quick.  Nice guys, but incompetent and perhaps a little crooked
businesspeople.

Still is. Format is:

   hostname username

which specifies a particular user on a particular host who is allowed
access. The username is an argument to the rsh comand, or defaults to
%username% on the client machine.

Subj: OS2 warp 4 in a NT enviornment

From: "Tom Mucha" <[e-mail]>

Hi-

I have a workstation running Warp4 and I'm trying to get it to use WINS off
of our NT network.  I'm able to do all the pinging by ip address, but not by
name.   Also, I'm hoping by getting wins working, I'll be able to get out of
our MS-Proxy server to access the internet.  Anyone have any info on either
of those things?  Much thank if you do!

You can get WINS to work (sorta -- WINS is somewhat nonstandard)
by setting up the NetBeui Node type as hybrid (H) and setting up the
Netbios Name servers with the WINS IP address.

But that probably won't get you through the Proxy.  For that you need
to log the Warp workstation onto an NT domain trusted by the Proxy.

Subj: Help: TCPIP getting messed up

From: Sushenjit Bandyopadhyay <[e-mail]>

I have no understanding of TCPIP, so please be patient.

The System: Warp 4, FP 12, TCPIP 4.02w with dialup to internet with
DOIP. No NIC.

The problem:  From time to time upon dialup nothing works.  I think it
happens if some application tries to connect to the net when there is
no connection (but I cannot reproduce it.) When this happens netstat
-a shows:

addr            0.0.0.0 interface 10 mask 0  broadcast
0.0.0.0
addr       128.8.xx.yyy interface 10 mask ffff0000  broadcast
128.8.x.yyy
addr          127.0.0.1 interface 0 mask ff000000  broadcast
127.0.0.1

The problem is the first line.  It only appears when the problem
occurs.

Questions:  How can I get rid of the reference to 0.0.0.0?  What is
the correct syntax for route delete in this case?  Is there any other
way to get rid of 0.0.0.0?

What may be adding this 0.0.0.0 to the system?  How do I stop it?  I
can reboot and it will work for a days until it comes back.  Please
any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Sushenjit

Subj: DTOC sending ctrl and alt keys without toggle

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

G'day,

I'm using IBM Desktop On-Call (DTOC) on an OS/2 server, connecting via
Netscape Communicator 4.61 on a Win2000Pro machine.  I've commented before
that I can't seem to get DTOC to register a CTRL-C or CTRL-BREAK key.
However, I noticed last night that I can send just about any other CTRL or
ALT key combo WITHOUT using the key toggles in DTOC.  If I hit CTRL-PgUp or
ALT-F10 or whatever, without using the toggles, DTOC sees them just fine in
both OS/2 character mode and PM programs.

If only I could get the CTRL-C to work though -- the one I need most often
:(

>(WR8620)

"FSERVICE" expects a response file specific to the package being applied.
Try using the graphical SERVICE program instead.  It requires an
environment variable or two to be set; here's a crude script I wrote to
make it a bit easier (doesn't even require REXX!):

It's called APPLYFIX.CMD :

    @ECHO OFF
    SET CSFCDROMDIR=%1
    ECHO Will apply corrective service from directory %CSFCDROMDIR%.
    ECHO Press CTRL-C to abort, any other key to continue...
    PAUSE >NUL
    SERVICE.EXE

Put this in the directory where the CSF executables are (FSERVICE.EXE,
SERVICE.EXE, and the rest).  Then run it as 'APPLYFIX <path>" where <path>
is the _fully qualified_ path (including drive letter) to where the disk
images were extracted.  (e.g. "applyfix c:\tmp\wr_8620".)

SERVICE is a graphical program; it's fairly easy to use, just make sure
you enter suitable directories for Backup (where it stores replaced
files).  I use C:\SERVICE\<fixpakname>\* myself.  Make sure the parent
directory already exists.


Alternatively, if you prefer command-line... every fixpak should come with
a CSF_TOOL disk image.  Extract that, and use the RESPONSE.FIL file
included (otherwise it's the same CSF1.41 you already have) with FSERVICE,
as:
    FSERVICE /R:response.fil /S:<path_to_fixpak>

Hope that helps...

They don't, really.  On System-V type systems, the files are usually
something like:
    /etc/init.d/network     = IP setup, equivalent to SETUP.CMD
    /etc/init.d/netbase     = Program setup, 'inetd' and stuff
Actual startup of the TCP/IP service is (IIRC) included in the kernel itself.

Exact file names will vary (probably wildly) from Unix to Unix.
These files are then symlinked into /etc/rc*.d/ - where * is the runlevel
being entered.  Since OS/2 doesn't have runlevels, this part is probably
irrelevent.

BSD-type Unices are quite different.  I think the System V way is simpler
for your purposes.

Is that the only way to do it?

I was hoping I could manually update a text file.
There used to be a file called %etc%\rhosts which controlled which system
could access the local host.
