Subj: Token Ring install problem
Hi All,
I'm running a Token Ring LAN and tried to add a new P450 system, based on a
Biostar M3VBE motherboard with an IBM ISA Shared RAM Token Ring card, running
Warp 4 FP10. I ran MPTS, selected the proper adapter and NETBIOS protocol.
After restart of the system the IBMTOK.OS2 driver fails to initialize (message
LT20022 accompanied with a LT20025 msg reporting a configuration error in
Protocol.Ini and a SYS1201 msg 'driver not installed'). I assume the last 2
msgs are the result of the driver initialisation failure. Even with a
Protocol.Ini copied from a working system (P133 with the same TR adapter)
under Warp 4 I get the same messages.
I tried many different DIP-switch settings of the TR card, switched IRQ and
memory- and I/O-addresses, assigned the IRQ to Legacy in BIOS setup, etc.
etc., but always got the init failure of the driver (or a system hang!).
Surprisingly after install of network support under W98 the system runs
flawlessly, no networking problems at all. Sharing and using resources with
other systems works fine. So I assume the problem is not the card(-setup), nor
the motherboard(-setup), nor the LAN(-wiring). But since also the SW-setup is
the same as on a working P133 I'm running out of ideas where to look further.
What could be the reason of the problem, and what more can I do to find the
cause and hopefully solve it?
Cheers, Rob ... homepage http://users.capitolonline.nl/~nlco5907/

Rob,
I've used Windy to determine hardware configuration several times. I would
say use the settings that 98 reports in OS/2 and as long as the drivers are
ok it should work.

Subj: Conference Rules
OS2LAN Conference Rules:
------------------------
1) The OS2LAN conference deals with local area and wide area (LANs and WANs)
network systems that involve the use of IBM's OS/2 operating system (its
current version as well as predecessors). This includes the following:
- LAN/WAN systems that have file servers based on OS/2
- LAN/WAN systems that support OS/2 based requestors (including DOS VDMs and
WIN-OS2)
2) Allowed topics include those in 1) above, as well as hardware, software
related items specific to the same. Announcements of software and hardware
products are allowed if it is likely that such announcements will benefit the
readers of the OS2LAN conference as a whole and not only for the good of the
manufacturer or distributor of such products. Prices may be stated for the
purpose of getting an idea of which environment (single user, small business,
corporation, etc) the product is intended to be used in. Generic for-sale
messages are not permitted - if you want to sell something, use an appropriate
conference or netmail.
2) This conference is read by people all over the world. Many of these people
are professionals in their trade. Messages posted in this echo are expected
to be at a professional level. No idle chit-chat or off-topic messages are
allowed. No direct attacks on any individual or corporations are permitted.
Any product reviews that are posted are expected to be unbiased and should
reflect what the product does/does not do - not only what the reviewer thinks
of the product.
3) All of us do enjoy a brief respite from an endless series of 'technical'
messages, so humour is permitted on an 'occasional' basis. Note that such
messages are also expected to be on topic <grin>.
... and finally ...
4) Do not respond to messages that are off-topic. This just increases the
'noise level' in this conference. I will attempt to notify any violations of
conference rules by netmail to the user and/or to the sysop of the system
concerned. If it seems that I am not aware of repeated occurrences of OS2LAN
rule violations, please feel free to send me netmail at 1:153/8086.

Subj: LAN Server Entry
Hello Bryan,
Lan Server client licenses are approximately CDN $70 (about $US40). If you
purchase them, you will receive one or more pieces of paper entitling you to
use those licenses on your network. The exact number of licenses you actually
end up using is up to you, and enforcement of those licenses will also be up
to you.
Replying to a message of Bryan Rubingh to All:
BR> Can someone tell me what it would cost to add 10 users to an old (I
BR> think version 2, maybe 3) IBM LAN Server entry setup?
BR> I called IBM and they told me that since I was a reseller they
BR> couldn't tell me a price. Does IBM really want to sell their
BR> software or are they intentionally trying to kill themselves? My
BR> customer wants a price. Tell me it is a million dollars if you have
BR> to, but give me a price. Anyway, I called back again, was told there
BR> was a high volume of callers and they would call me back before the
BR> end of the business day. That was Thursday. It is now Tuesday. I
BR> haven't heard from them.
BR> Thanks,
BR> Bryan Rubingh
