OSINMRCN - AFTER SUCCESSFUL LAN INSTALL OF OS/2 WARP 4, THE SYSTEM
ATTEMPTS TO RECONNECT TO NETWORK
09/20/96
=======================================================================
After Successful LAN Install of OS/2 Warp 4, the System Attempts to
Reconnect to Network
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
After what appears to be a successful install across the network,
each time the system restarts it locks up or displays an error message
that "The connection cannot be made" or "SRVREXX.EXE cannot be found."
The system is actually attempting to reestablish the connections to the
server from which it was installed.
RESOLUTION
This problem is caused by an incomplete cleanup of the CONFIG.SYS file
once the install is complete.
Some or all of the following lines could be left in the CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=n:\SRVIFS.SYS
IFS=n:\SRVIFSC.IFS * /T
CALL=n:\SRVATTCH.EXE Z: ...
RUN=Z:\CID\LOCINSTU\SRVREXX.EXE
CALL=A:\SRVATTCH.EXE W: ...
SET SAVECONNECT=1
These lines should be removed and the system should be restarted.
To remove these lines:
1. Restart the system.
2. When you see a small OS/2 in the top left corner of the screen,
press ALT-F1; this brings up the Recovery Choices screen.
Choose F2 (Go to command prompt) from the list of options.
3. When the command prompt appears, edit the CONFIG.SYS by entering the
following:
COPY \CONFIG.SYS \CONFIG.BK1 (this makes a backup copy of the
CONFIG.SYS)
TEDIT \CONFIG.SYS
4. Press the Esc key, then scroll through the file and search for the
statements listed above. Remove them (or add REM to the start
of each of those lines).
5. Press F4 to save changes and exit the file; then press Ctrl-Alt-Del
to restart the system. The system should no longer attempt to
reconnect to the installation server.
Note: If the SET SAVECONNECT=1 line is left in the CONFIG.SYS, the
system will attempt to reestablish the connections, even if all
the other lines mentioned above were removed.
