WARNING: This version of NetBIOS over TCP/IP *requires*
OS/2 version *2.0* or later. However, it will
run on TCP/IP version 1.2.1 or later.
Follow these steps to install this CSD:
1. Remove any previous version of TCP/IP NetBIOS
by using the NBRMV program provided on the CSD diskette,
or by manually editing your CONFIG.SYS file.
a. To remove NetBIOS using the NBMRV program, invoke NBMRV
from an OS/2 command prompt. The program will
automatically remove all references to NBTCP
from your CONFIG.SYS file, and erase NBTCP from
your disk drive.
b. To manually delete any previous version of TCP/IP
NetBIOS, remove the path to NBTCP by editing
the PATH and LIBPATH statements in your
CONFIG.SYS file, and delete the following line:
DEVICE=<path>\NBDRIVER.SYS
2. Install the TCP/IP Version 2.0 for OS/2: NetBIOS Kit:
a. Insert this corrective service diskette into any
drive, for example the A: drive.
b. Enter the TCPINST command:
A:> tcpinst
c. Respond to the prompts from the installation program.
CID Installation
This version of the NetBIOS kit complies with IBM's
Configuration, Installation, and Distribution (CID)
guidelines. You can install it with TCPINST, the
standard TCP/IP installation program. And it is
packaged to install in your TCP/IP base directory.
For example, if your TCP/IP base directory is D:\TCPIP,
the NetBIOS kit will install into the D:\TCPIP\NBTCP
subdirectory. You should install the NetBIOS kit
into the TCP/IP base directory so that it will be
unpacked to D:\TCPIP\NBTCP.
When you install the NetBIOS kit, the installation
program makes any needed changes to the CONFIG.SYS file
automatically.
Starting NetBIOS:
1. Before you use TCP/IP NetBIOS, a line must be
added to your CONFIG.SYS to load the NBDRIVER.SYS
device driver. This is done automatically by TCPINST.
If either NBDRIVER.SYS is not loaded, or the NBTCP.EXE
program is not running, your NetBIOS applications
will not run correctly.
2. NBTCP.EXE is a TCP/IP application, so you must start
it AFTER you have started TCP/IP. You can accomplish this
in one of two ways:
a. Edit TCPEXIT.CMD, located in the \TCPIP\BIN subdirectory,
and add the following line:
START <path>\NBTCP\NBTCP.EXE
where <path> is the drive and your TCP/IP base directory.
For example, if you installed TCP/IP on D:\TCPIP, the line
you add would read:
START D:\TCPIP\NBTCP\NBTCP.EXE
b. You can also start TCP/IP and NBTCP.EXE from the
STARTUP.CMD. If your system starts TCP/IP
from the OS/2 Startup Folder, open the Startup Folder
(located in the OS/2 System Folder) and delete the TCP/IP
Startup Folder. Next, edit or create STARTUP.CMD on
your boot drive (the drive that contains CONFIG.SYS)
and at the top of STARTUP.CMD, add the lines:
CALL <path>\BIN\TCPSTART.CMD
START <path>\NBTCP\NBTCP.EXE
where <path> is the drive and TCP/IP base directory. If
you installed TCP/IP to D:\TCPIP, your STARTUP.CMD file
should contain:
CALL D:\TCPIP\BIN\TCPSTART.CMD
START D:\TCPIP\NBTCP\NBTCP.EXE
3. At this point, you can shutdown and restart your
workstation. TCP/IP and TCP/IP NetBIOS will start
automatically, and NetBIOS applications should
run correctly.
Future Installs:
If you chose to start TCP/IP and NBTCP from the STARTUP.CMD,
you should be aware that whenever you run TCPINST to install
a TCP/IP component, TCPINST automatically runs the TCPDSKTP
command to create the TCP/IP Workplace Shell desktop. By
default, TCPDSKTP starts TCP/IP from the OS/2 Startup Folder
rather than STARTUP.CMD. After installing NBTCP, you should
always start TCPINST with the /SF- option to prevent
TCPDSKTP from re-creating the TCP/IP Startup Folder.
APAR Fixes
These APARs are fixed in this CSD.
+------------+-------------+---------------------------------------+
| HB38532 | NBTCP.EXE | Fixed: NBTCP.EXE receives TRAPD when |
| | NBDRIVER.SYS| NBDRIVER.SYS is loaded ... |
+------------+-------------+---------------------------------------+
| HB38550 | NBTCP.EXE | Fixed: NET3502: OS/2 Error 121 has |
| | | occurred. The Semaphore time out |
| | | period has expired. |
+------------+-------------+---------------------------------------+
| HB38575 | NBTCP.EXE | Fixed: DB2/2 does not work with |
| | NBTRC.EXE | RFC NetBIOS |
| | ACSDEBUG.DLL| |
| | ACSNETB.DLL | |
+------------+-------------+---------------------------------------+
| HB40223 | NBTCP.EXE | Fixed: Data is garbled when buffer is |
| | | larger than 4K using NetBIOS. |
