Set up DLR in VMB for LAN 2.0 (LS 3.0 r 2/11/93..
DLRVMB FOR LAN SERVER 2.0
You can also reference:
"Network Administrator Reference"
Supplement for OS/2 2.0
IMPORTANT NOTE: This procedure assumes you have Lan Server 2.0
requester. This is needed for netbios support. Do NOT attempt
to use the dxm... drivers to run dos lan requester it will
NOT work!!!
About these steps: This is a detailed, step by step procedure on
how to get dos lan requester to run from a dos session within
os/2 2.0. This is not the only way to set this up. This setup
dictates a virtual boot from an image file on a fixed disk partition,
in this case the c partition. You can setup a virtual boot from the
floppy drive or any other partition. In other words you can setup
your machine to boot dos from a diskette, but these steps boot
dos from an image of a Bootable diskette that is on a fixed
disk partition.
1. Create a dos (whatever version) bootable diskette.
ie. From a dos machine at the c drive type:
sys a: (with diskette in drive a)
This will put two hidden files plus command.com on diskette.
2. From an OS/2 command prompt, type:
d:\IBMCOM\SETUPVDD
where d: is the drive where os/2 resides.
3. Before you run this step, stop lan server if it is running.
Now run the Installation/Configuration object in the Lan Services
folder on your desktop. Chose the following:
a. Advanced.
b. Install or configure this workstation. Ok.
c. Select the drive. Ok.
d. Configure a component, Ok.
e. Lan Adapter and Protocol Support, Configure
f. Configure Workstation, Ok
g. Select <Netbios> (at bottom), then EDIT.
h. Maximum sessions = 52
Maximum commands = 99
Maximum names = 26
OK.
i. Configure Workstation window, Ok.
(or select complete <ok>).
j. Configuration Complete, OK
k. Adapter 0, ok.
l. configure window, ok.
m. Apply changes, ok.
n. File backup, ok.
SHUTDOWN and REBOOT YOUR MACHINE!!!
4. Now take the startup diskette and do the following:
1. Create a config.sys file with the following:
BREAK=ON
BUFFERS=20
FILES=30
DEVICE=A:\FSFILTER.SYS
SHELL=C:\DOS50\COMMAND.COM /E:2000 /P
STACKS=0,0
FCBS=16,8
LASTDRIVE=Z
2. Create a autoexec.bat file with the following:
PATH=C:\DOS50;
SET COMSPEC=C:\DOS50\COMMAND.COM
PROMPT $P$G
C:\IBMCOM\LTSVCFG S=12 C=14 N=5
C:
REM DOS50.BAT SHOULD ALWAYS BE LAST
DOS50.BAT
3. And also copy FSFILTER.SYS from the \os2\mdos directory
to the bootable diskette.
ie. copy c:\os2\mdos\fsfilter.sys a:
At this point you should have four files on this diskette:
Command.com
Autoexec.bat
Config.sys
Fsfilter.sys
5. Create a dos50 directory, this directory is user created and does
not reflect having dos on your system. Now create a DOS50.BAT
file in the dos50 subdirectory on your fixed disk.
This file should contain the line:
d:\OS2\MDOS\FSACCESS A:
where d is the drive with os2.
6. At a prompt type:
VMDISK A: C:\DOS50\DOS50.IMG
This will build an image of the bootup disk
that is in drive A and put it on the c drive.
This image file will be used to boot from
when clicking on an icon we will create in
the next step.
7. Make a copy of a dos icon on your desktop to work with
as your new dlr boot icon.
Then go into the SETTINGS and go to the
SESSION tab.
Chose Dos Fullscreen.
From there go into DOS SETTINGS.
Select DOS_STARTUP_DRIVE
Specify the value C:\DOS50\DOS50.IMG
and save & close the settings.
This will have the icon point to dos50.img file within
the dos50 subdirectory on the c drive and use this
file to boot. In step 6, we use vmdisk to take all files
including the boot files and make them 1 image file (dos50.img).
8. Now copy all of the contents on the bootable diskette to the
c:\dos50 subdirectory.
9. Now you should be able to start the session from your new icon.
Double click on the icon you just created.
10. You should now be in a dos full screen.
Take your dos lan requester diskettes and put diskette 1
in drive A.
Type INSTALL.
Go through the selections.
Return to dos and inspect your files.
Copy the config.sys and autoexec.bat from c:\ to c:\dos50.
Ctrl + Escape out of the session and close the session
from the task list.
11. Now restart your session by double clicking.
At the C: prompt you can now start the dos lan requester.
