OSMKSLEN - "SLIP ENDED UNEXPECTEDLY" WHEN USING THE IBM INTERNET DIALER
FOR OS/2 TO CONNECT TO ADVANTIS
12/11/96
=======================================================================
"SLIP Ended Unexpectedly" when using the IBM Internet Dialer for OS/2
to connect to Advantis
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
When using the IBM Internet Dialer (DIALER.EXE) for OS/2 to make a SLIP
connection to Advantis, the dialer sometimes aborts with the message
"SLIP Ended Unexpectedly." The connection terminates at this point.
RESOLUTION
This error occurs if the IBM TCP/IP protocol is not added in the
system's Multi-Protocol Transport Services (MPTS). To verify that the
protocol is added:
1. Open MPTS by double-clicking on the MPTS icon, or by opening an OS/2
Window and typing MPTS at the command prompt.
2. Choose Configure in the Multi-Protocol Transport Services window.
3. Select LAN Adapters and Protocols, then Configure.
4. In the Current Configuration section of the LAPS Configuration
window, look for the IBM TCP/IP protocol. For example:
IBM Compatible Token-Ring Network Adapter (IBMTOK.OS).....
0 - IBM OS/2 NETBIOS
0 - IBM TCP/IP
indicates an IBM Token-Ring adapter with both the NETBIOS and TCP/IP
protocols added. If the IBM TCP/IP protocol is not listed in this
section, add it, by selecting IBM TCP/IP from the Protocols list in
the upper right-hand section of the window and choosing Add.
Note: If you have more than one adapter, it does not matter which
adapter you add the IBM TCP/IP protocol to.
5. Once the change has been made, shutdown and restart the system;
then try your Internet connection again.
