Is this an IBM replacement for the Novell ODI driver, and does it work with, or is it a replacement for the Novell Requester (or did I completely mis-read the announcement?) So far my impression is that we need something more than the Novell requester. Our copy came in a blue box, but it doesn't work much better than the Beta requester released back last October/November.

I have installed the LSP 1.31 and DOSLAN from the LS 3.0 beta onto an IBM PS/2 8550 with IBM DOS 5.0 at UR36603. If one boots up, starts DOSLAN, exits to dos, runs IBM TCP/IP for the PS/2 FTP or TELNET command, after exiting the FTP or TELNET command the PS/2 locks up and requires a power off/on. If I replace the LSP 1.31 with 1.25 no prblems occur. I am loading the TCP/IP driver NETDEV.SYS, then DXMA0MOD.SYS, DXMC0MOD.SYS, and then the DXMT0MOD.SYS for both 1.31 and 1.25 with identical parameters.

It may be that the files haven't been posted yet, you might want to leave a msg for the sysops over there.

For LS 3.0 the FSI was made a installable item so the user could save space on a workstation. The FSI will run remote if it is install on the domain controler. You can choose the advanced path and just install the FSI .

The day after Lan Server 3.0 Beta announcement was posted I called the order number with P.O. in hand. Only then did I find out that the ONLY acceptable payment was with a charge card. My company only allows limited use of their charge cards and I really don't want to charge it on my own card and deal with the internal bureaucracy of proving that it really was a company related charge. (Reminds me of 1-900 support numbers.) Is there any way that I (as a true BLUE IBM customer in the U.S.) can get this package electronically? I know it is available to non-U.S. customers on the OS2BETA disk but the SE that I talked to has no idea where or what this is. (If only I could have access to that system for 1/2 day.(evil laugh)) We have no problem with paying for this package. It's just that we need a little support for our way of doing business. Any help would be appreciated.

Why ? I can't see any real reasons or OS/2 function calls what the net.exe does and can't be converted to 'at least' a Windowable program. this and the messageing is what you should change. Even NOVELL writes PM programs, MS converts the net.exe to win3 tools, just IBM stays with the inherited full-screen interface. Pretty Please!

David Dutcher LAN Server Development ----- LSYSBETA CFORUM appended at 15:23:38 on 92/09/01 GMT (by TBHIC at OS2CUST) Subject: Multi-Protocol Support While I am waiting patiently for my copy of the beta, a couple of questions on the support of protocols other that Netbios/Netbeui. I guess this comes under the " * OS/2 TCP/IP coexistance, supports a greater range of protocols" line item in the announcement. 1. Will LAN Server 3.0 still expect a Netbios API interface? Will the more generic CPI-C be supported? 2. Will the necessary API mapping layer (Netbios over TCP, RFC 1001 1002) be included and will it work with IBM's TCP/IP 1.21? 3. Ungerman Bass has an XNS NDIS protocol stack that works with LAN Manager 2.1. Does IBM forsee any problems with integrating this protocol stack into the LS 3.0 configuration? Is UB involved at this point? 4. Will multiple protocols be supported concurrently? Each assigned a logical net? 5. Will APPC or OSI protocols be supported? Also a couple of questions about Netware co-existance. 1. Is the new LAPS front end knowlegeable about ODI drivers such that it will allow reference to ODI drivers in the protocol.ini file? 2. Is there a scheme to allow Netware Netbios co-exist with the real thing such that Netbios.OS2 will hand off to either? 3. Is IBM recommending either an NDIS or ODI driver strategy? 4. Will the IPX NDIS stack support Novell's NMS network management software? 5. WIll I be able to use ODI drivers for cards that do not have NDIS divers? 6. Will the IPX VDM drivers work with the IPX NDIS stack? The above questions relate to the OS/2 requester & server. Thanks for any response to thses questions.

To run over TCP/IP, you need the NetBios over TCP/IP package which does the RFC 1001/1002 mapping. The rest of your questions are really LAN Transport or NTS/2 questions. I will prod the forum watchers to get a response from those folks.

The V802.2 support is installed automatically by the NTS/2 install program. There is one new parameter to the LTSVCFG command, it is D=1 or D=0, and has something to do with certain types of 802.2 support. I have used this V802.2 support with the IBMTOKEN.COM DOS Packet driver that allows some DOS tcp/ip applications to share the adpater with OS/2, as well as the NETDEV.SYS driver that allows IBM TCP/IP for the PS/2 to work. So far the V802.2 is working great for me.

After listening to quite a few customer comments similar to the comments in the referenced append - IBM will expand the acceptable payment methods for our Beta programs. IBM will accept Purchase Orders and checks, as well as the charge cards. These additional methods will cause a little more expense and work - BUT IBM is listening to our customers and we want to do whatever is necessary to make the Beta programs work for both IBM and our customers. I will make a subsequent append that details how these additional payment methods will be implemented. Let me take just a minute to clear up a misconception in the referenced append. We don't have a way for our customers to have direct access to get the code electronically. However, IBM SEs do have access to the OS2BETA disk (US especially). I'm not sure that it is a true statement that non-U.S. customers have access to the OS2BETA disk. So, an IBM SE could download the OS2LAN30 package for you that can be found on the OS2BETA disk. However, due to the large number of diskettes and publications that make up the package - it might be impractical to do so. By calling the IBM Distribution 1-800 phone number we allow customers to purchase our Beta kits at a cost recovery only price. I hope this makes the offering a little clearer. The LAN Server 3.0 Beta is off to a great start. Thank you for your interest and participation. Remember, we're listening ... and we really want to hear from you. Dianne J.

Here are the details of each payment method. The use of your charge card is one payment method that you may use. After calling the IBM Distribution Center and providing your Credit Card number, your number will be verified and your order will be sent out with second day delivery. This entire process usually only takes 3 - 4 days depending on the time of day you placed your call. If you plan to use a check, you will be told where to mail your payment when you call the IBM Distribution Center. Once your check arrives, it will go through a clearing process that usually takes about 10 days. When the check clears, your order will be sent out using second day delivery. An alternative method that you may use to purchase a Beta kit is by providing a Purchase Order number. Once you call the IBM Distribution Center, give the operator your Purchase Order number or subsequently fax a copy of the Purchase Order. Once that number is provided, your order will be sent out using second day delivery. An invoice will be mailed to you shortly. Please ensure that these invoices are paid promptly. Currently we have a $500.00 limit on purchases made by Purchase Orders. Please note that these are the guidelines that we have set up for our Beta programs. However, if you have special needs we can customize our process. For example, if you want overnight delivery instead of second day delivery, you may pay the additional cost and your order will be expedited. Give any special needs or requirements to the IBM Distribution Center when you place your call. Thank you for your interest and participation. Dianne J.

Ref: Append at 22:20:48 on 92/09/04 GMT (by XXNOVA24 at TORVMCOP) First, make sure Peer Services was installed via the LANINST program. You can do this by looking in the IBMLAN.INI file and verifying that there is a {peer} section in the file. Note the security setting chosen during install, user versus share. This will be given by the "security=" parameter in the {peer} section of the .INI file. Next, start the peer service with the "net start peer" command. Resources are shared with the "net share" command, just as they are with the server service. For example, to share the C:\TEMP directory, as "TEMP", the command would be: "net share TEMP=C:\TEMP". Logon is required for this command. One catch here. There is a bug in the Beta that requires a user to be an administrator on the domain to administer the peer server. This definitely will not be the case in the shipped product. Access to shared peer server resources is controlled either on a share basis or a user basis. If security is set to user in the .INI file, access control works like the LAN Server access control. User IDs must be added and given access to the specific resource (the commands for this are "net user" and "net access"). If security is set to share in the .INI file, then each resource is given a password and a set of permissions. The user connecting to the share via the "net use" command specifies the password as part of the command. Although the Beta publications do not describe this, the proper syntax for the commands I describe above can be seen by typing "net help xxx" where "xxx" is share, use, user, access, or any other net command.

The NWCONFIG error message usually results from NTS/2 LAPS being configured for the Netware Requester support protocol while the system does not have Netware Requester. This error message has been improved to tell the user that LSL.SYS (A Netware Requester Module) has not been loaded. The Netware Requester Support protocol is not useful unless Netware Requester is installed on the same system. 2. How did you get this NWCONFIG error?

My analyst upstairs logged on to his local UPM and wnet through the exercise of adding the other ID's to his UPM to selectively allow users to use his stuff. We have also defined the same resource with different aliases to see if we could get more users to use a resource, but it seem as if the Peer service only allowed two external users at a time to access a resource on the requester using the Peer service. To me two users is still 200 percent better than no users. Michael Suszko, Jr (A. M.

Users are granted or denied access based on either: a) the user ID and the permissions given to the user ID via the 'net access' command (for user level security) OR b) the password specified on the 'net use' command and the permissions specified for the share via the 'net share' command (for share level security). Users should not be granted/denied access based on whether they are at a 2.0 or 3.0 requester. Would it be possible for you to double check the user IDs and access control?

There are actually two NetBios APIs... the IBM NetBios (NB30) and the NetBiosSubmit. NB30 is not enabled for multi protocol provider operation thus the last version installed (in this case NetBios over TCP/IP) gets all the NetBios apps. NetBiosSubmit is more flexible and will go either way. You guessed it, Lotus Notes is coded to the NetBiosSubmit API.

Thanks for the information about the APIs. Appendix D in V3.0's "Planning and Installation" manual covers only replacing Netbeui with TCP/IP. I hope that by GA that co-existance would be covered. Netware allows co-existance between their version of Netbios (over IPX) and real Netbios by making the following enty in the protocol.ini file: ìNETBIOS┘ DriverName = NETBIOS$ Bindings = TOKEN ADAPTER0 = IPXNB$,0 ADAPTER1 = NETBEUI$,1 and the in the IBMLAN.ini: net1=IPXNB$,0,LM10,16,16,8 net2=netbeui$,0,LM10, 64, 100, 21 wrknets = net2 One might speculate that adding the following to the Netbios section of the Protocol.ini file (guessing the TCP/IP netbios driver is named NBTCPIP$): ADAPTER3=NBTCPIP$,3 and to the IBMLAN.INI: net3=nbtcpip$.0.LM10,16,16,8 wrknets=net2,net3 might work. There also should be a way of configuring Netbios resources. For netbeui, there is a section in the Protocol.ini file and Netware's Netbios has a section in the Net.cfg file. Some mention of how this is done for Netbios over TCP/IP should be made. Also, can you specify which logical adapter number that the Netbios VDD should use? Or can Netbios VDDs be used in a multiprotocol scenario?

If NET.CFG is configured with parameters for LINK DRIVER LANSUP then the system will not boot after the new LAPS is installed and configured. The netware file system driver hangs and the only way out is a reboot. It never gets beyond the message reporting that NWIFS has loaded. I ran the NWFIXUP command from a booted floppy system, and tried again, but it did not help. I eventually got up by commenting out all of netware drivers and eventually figured out that if I removed the LINK DRIVER statements from NET.CFG, that all was well once again. If possible, I would suggest that NWFIXUP correct the NET.CFG statements, and that it be run before any attempt reboot the system. At least a warning about NET.CFG might by warranted. By the way... Is there any documentation on any NET.CFG parms that are appropriate for the new IBM ODI2NDI driver? So far this new code looks very good. Comm Manager, TCP/IP 1.2.1 and Novell are all running together quite well. I can't wait to try some of the DOS compatibility code, but that is for another day...

Another beta customer brought this problem to our attention too. The solution we have opted for is to have the install/configuration code disable the LANSUP.SYS device driver automatically if ODI2NDI is configured and LANSUP.SYS is found in config.sys. By disable I mean placing a "REM " statement in front of the DEVICE= statement for LANSUP.SYS. ODINSUP.SYS is disabled in a similar manner if present. This fix was put into the code on 7/31/92. I suspect your ODI2NDI.OS2 is older than that, and therefore doesn't contain the fix. Basically, the ODI2NDI.OS2 configuration parameters are contained within the PROTOCOL.INI file. ODI2NDI does not require any statements in the NET.CFG file to function. The LAPS Configuration Guide has very brief descriptions of the PROTOCOL.INI parameters for ODI2NDI. The NET.CFG file may still contain parameters for the LINK SUPPORT layer, protocol stacks (eg. IPX, SPX,etc)., the netware requester, etc. These parameters will have the same effect as when used with a 'real' ODI lan driver (eg. TOKEN.SYS). Hope this helps out.

I do a lot of my work by SOP (seat of my pants). A message that I have an error in my Config.sys is kinda useless, if the message gave me a best guess of what is wrong and what actions I should take it would decrease my frustration level considerably. On a whole this release seems to be working very well. We threw together 3 servers running everything from PC/400 support through IWP/2 support, we are impressed. Peer services works like a dream - now we can backup our users subdirectories using the same procedures that we use for the servers. We still have to test the printing, SQL and APPC stuff, but we have a high level of confidence that it'll work. Gee - I might even learn C programming now. (Nope- I'll just stick with REXX).

Anyone with HPFS only would find recovery quite difficult. BTW...

It is needed when you are running under real DOS, and you place it before the DXM (LSP) drivers in CONFIG.SYS. If you want to run it under OS/2 using the V802.2, just place it in the DOS_DEV ICE line in the settings for the object for the IBM TCP/IP for the PS/2 TELNET command, or FTP command, or whatever. IBMTOKEN.COM is a public domain (free) DOS TCP/IP packet driver. This packet d river allows several DOS TCP/IP packages to work, such as NCSA Telnet, or CUTCP telnet, WINQVTNET, and I beleive our manual for IBM TCP/IP for DOS 2.0 says it can run on top of a packet driver. Packet driver sets are available on severa l anonymous FTP sites, but I cannot remember which ones. I think its home is o n a site called SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL or something like that? If you need the exact FTP site for IBMTOKEN.COM, please repost and I will look it up at work. If you are using Ethernet your choices may be more limited, because we are quit e lucky the people who wrote IBMTOKEN.COM wrote it to 802.2 instead or the real hardware underneath.

LAN Server is providing this function because the diskette is used to boot a machine from a LAN Server RIPL server. The LAPS code does not necessarily imply that you will be using LAN Server. Actually, this new diskette uses the LSP drivers to communicate. We heard many requests for this RIPL diskette function, and we're proud to provide this feature in the LAN Server 3.0 product. Michael, MKRDPM is a very small and simple PM application that will be installed when you select to install the RIPL feature on your Server. This application, run on the RIPL Server, creates a diskette to be booted in the RIPL workstation. There is no PM required on the RIPL workstation for this feature. A main panel appears where the user selects the target diskette drive and the network protocol. Then hit the "Create" button and a RIPL diskette will be created.

I want to maintain my systems using RIPL, I would like to set up a set of standard RIPL diskettes with LAA's that I have defined only for maintenance - then when I have to distribute the fixes I can tell the users, or have one of us 'PC' support people, boot the 'maintenance' diskette and let the RIPL do it's thing. I admit there is much I don't know about RIPL, but I have all of my systems defined with an LAA, I have to have a consistent naming convention to satisfy my need to communication with the SNA Network. I have no idea what the UAA's are, I don't want to know what they are. It would be sssooooo much easier if I could have the LAA established by the diskette. I realize the possibility of having two people trying to enter the network with the same address and the confusion it may cause. I am more than willing to accept and manage that risk. I currently edit the RPL.MAP and enter the UAA manually (after I find out what the UAA is - Thank God for QMC.EXE !!). I also realize that the protocol.ini on the rplusers whatever disk can have the LAA plugged in there. My goal is to keep a RPL server for maintenance with no more than four (4) machines defined, this makes my life extremely simple, and keep myself out of the documentation nightmare of keeping track of UAA's.

The adapters directly on key local rings is a good idea. That way those users will connect directly to the server without going through the local-ring-to-backbone bridge, improving performance and saving load on the bridge. LAN Server 3.0 will automatically connect those users through the adapter on their local ring. If that adapter happens to be down they can still get to the server through the bridge to the backbone -- that will happen automatically too.

This should greatly enhance named pipe reliability especially under heavy stress conditions. This could give us an edge over competitors who have not carefully designed their named pipe server code for reliability and speed. 2) The popular book "Client Server programming with OS/2 2.0" includes benchmarks which indicate IBM OS/2 named pipe support is much faster than Novell's named pipe support. The authors seem to like named pipes for usability considerations as well. It is great to see the word getting out because we in the labs have spent a lot of time making IBM LAN Server named pipes the fastest and easiest to use interprocess communication mechanism in the industry.

Yes... The only reason I am running (or trying to run) the DOS version is because the OS/2 version does not work. I have reported this on the OS/2 version of the 8209 program via ETR, and they have recreated the problem and are working on a fix. Running this on my PS/2 is much more convenient than trying to find/borrow another PC, and sometimes a token ring connection to access the 8209. Plus.... Trying something different is another opportunity to learn a little more about all all this stuff works. So... If it is not a big deal, I would love to hear some more about how to make the DOS 8209 program work - for convenience and educational purposes. Thanks!!! (ps. The problem with the OS/2 8209 program is that it is "unreliable", and you have to attempt comm operations sometimes 10-12 times (such as display configuration, or change a parameter) before it "takes".

Since you can configure an adapter as 1 without having adapter 0 we can't automatically change the adapter to 0. You can easily change from 1 to 0 by going into LAPS and changing the number next to the protocol from 1 to 0 #2 We agree that the adapter address configuration can cause problems. The reason the adapter address needs to be configured for ODI2NDI because of the differences between the way ODI initializes and NDIS initializes. Basically IPX needs the adapter address before ODI2NDI has access to the adapter. Therefore you need to configure the adapter address. #3 LAPS was not designed as a migration utility for NOVELL configuration parameters. The only migration that is done is the commenting out of NOVELL devices drivers in CONFIG.SYS. The reason for this was to eliminate boot up problems because of conflicting device drivers. #4 As I said LAPS is not a migration tool. Also it is valid to run Netware's Netbios/IPX in conjunction with the IBM NETBIOS. If we migrated we might be removing a configuration that somebody wants. #5 I don't know why this happened. #6 This is probably caused because the Node address was not configured. #7 I don't know why this happened. #8 Is it IBMTOK.SYS that traps or is it Token.sys?

The multiple adapter support is not specific to Token Ring. It will be supported with Ethernet or whatever. Be careful however! Many adapters have difficulty with multiples installed in a single box. Things like IRQ conflicts, RAM address conflicts, etc. Check with your adapter manufacturer on what's supported.

Vance Corn ----- LSYSBETA CFORUM appended at 00:01:23 on 92/10/07 GMT (by DNR01 at OS2CUST) Subject: Suggestions for LAN Server(Part 1) As a network administrator for MDNR, capacity planning is occasionally performed (whenever not putting out fires). As of Oct 1, our network connected 820+ machines on 14 rings (4 local, 9 remote, and a backbone ìok this is local too :-) ┘). Of these machines, 200+ are DLRs, 10 OS/2 (2 AddSRVs and 2 DCs), 25+ perform network functions (bridges, gateways, etc.), with the rest of the being PCLP machines using Base Services (no snickering!). During the next year, we intend to convert over 200 machines to LS DLRs and hope to have all machines converted within two and a half years. Combine this with this year's expansion of 150+ machines (half of which should be DLRs) and next years similar growth, and we end up with over the maximum for a single domain (can you say oops!). We will go ahead with some internal development of tools to assist us in administration of this beast but we need some guidance to what LS will provide in the future for us. Below is a list of the desired features we would like to see in the next release of LAN Server (with commentary). @ @ * OWNERS OF RESOURCES The permissions setting in the Access Control Profile for a resource is to limited. We would like to allow an individual to have responsibilty for a resource which belongs to another individual or group. This would allow for programs (groups of users in a division) to owner (and be billed) for the data while operators manage who is a member of the group. * LIMITS ON RESOURCE USAGE As a natural extention of the above, we would like to limit the ammount of disk usage, print output, connect time, etc. that a person uses for a particular resource. (Real-time here only please. Not this CHKSTOR stuff) * ACCOUNTING Another natural extention. If a person prints out 1000 pages at the laser printer, we would like to bill that program for the usage. You will need this is time might as well start it now.

I know a lot of back- flips will be necessary to remain compatible with your mainframe software but we need this!!! How do I fit something understandible into 8 chars? I mean the Division of Environmental Quality, Hazardous Waste Management Program, Administration Section, Personal wordprocessing documents would reside in the alias QHWAD_WP under the current system. I would like to use DEQ___HWMP__ADMIN___WORDPROC. The reason for the underbars is because we have names that occupy all but one of the remaining underbars (like DPRHP instead of DEQ). * SYNCHRONIZE DOMAINS Needed for users who can't remember to or are to lazy to change their passwords on the other domain to regain access to resources there. I mean the current system is nice in that it provides security when necessary but sometimes at the expense of too much work on our part. * NEW OPERATORS + SCHEDULER + OWNER + APPLICATION + ASSIGNMENTS The owner operator should be obvious (ok, this may need to be rolled into the administrator). Now about the others. Why should aliases be the only one allowed operators (three at that)? We are looking for the ability for operators to change logon assignments for users in the group they manage. Also sometimes networked applications need demanding setup and maintenance attention and we would like to offload the changes required to a new user. True this would be tied to server operators very closely (usually) but we still would like this being removed from the administrators shoulders. The scheduler operator would allow a user to control the schedule queue of jobs for the AT command. (Actually we would like to see this enhanced too) * OPERATORS LIMITED TO SPECIFIC WORKSTATIONS My discription may be a little misleading. I would like to limit operators to specific machines of control. This is so there could be 10 servers out there with 10 server operators and none of them could ever deal with the others machine. I know ACPs are need to do gain the privilege but this would be a much better method. (cont) MO Dept of Natural Resource, DMS/MIS, Network Services Scott L Brodbeck ----- LSYSBETA CFORUM appended at 00:12:46 on 92/10/07 GMT (by DNR01 at OS2CUST) Subject: Suggestions for LAN Server(Part 3) * NEW SERVER TYPES + BACKUP SERVER + PROCESS SERVER Why not have a machine with a fast expensive tape drive and a fair amount of DASD be able to backup users workstations. It could connect to the machine and begin a dump of the contents to server and it would put it to tape automatically, removing the data from DASD once backed up. Then if a user needed a file or drive restored, they could either start a remote restore program or boot a disk to restore the complete hard drive. LAN Server already has a minimal process server capability but I would like to see it expand to allow us to actually start jobs control runs, bill cycles, and check status on the super fast process server. Seems simple. * SCHEDULER LOG ONS ACCOUNT I would like to see the AT command allow an account to be logged on for the purpose of running this one particular job and then off. No, I will not enter the userid and password in a text file to do this for me. Seems to violate the security of the system. * INCREASE CAPACITY One file lock per user!!! Please!!! Yes LS20A is limited to 1000 locks. We have currently running applications that sometimes require 10 or more to run. And the number of printers!!! I like to have a computer dedicated to printer server operations using the nifty little "black boxes" for remote printers. Currently only 5 boxes can run off of one server (assuming using both ports on the box). * AUTO REVOKATION OF ACCOUNT AFTER DEFINED LIMITS Failed password attempts is the big one here. Three tries and your out. * PERMISSION ON APPLICATIONS If designed properly, give a user access to the application and it could assume the data too. * SEMI-PUBLIC DOS APPLICATIONS We have most application code resides on the workstation and data on the server. We also don't wish to require the users to enter "Private Application" to gain access to their program. Since all copies of Lotus reside in a C:\LOTUS, we like to setup a system wide application that runs C:\LOTUS\LOTUS.EXE. Currently we must run a batch file called LOTUS in the root directory pointed to by an alias called BATCH. Not good! * DOS APPLICATION APPEAR IN PUBLIC APPLICATION ON OS/2 REQ I think this one has been request by others previously. Here's my request * EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS This would go with the permissions on applications. If one can be done so should the other. * MULTI-DOMAIN ADMINISTRATION TOOLS 'Nuff Said! * BUILT-IN PERFORMANCE MONITORING TOOLS I know, I'm cheap but..... It seems there are so many more variable to watch in LAN Server but there is no method. If I could find out when the Server is about to run out of buffer, then I could schedule a weekend to make all the adjustment rather during the week when the division and department directors can't get to their E-Mail. * DCDB AND NET.ACC IN DATABASE MANAGER This would be great for network administration! I could pull this glob of information into DM and with LAN Network Manager's database and any other product out there churn on the data and determine whose machine is being over used, under used, or just plain abused. Also make tracking activity easier as well as monitoring errors. * ADHERE TO FEDERAL STANDARDS ON SECURITY You will need this is time might as well start it now.

Ref: Append at 15:39:30 on 92/10/06 GMT (by XXNOVA24 at TORVMCOP) Geza - Steve Nacamuli asked that I look into this problem. I will try to understand what is happening via the forum but if things get too complicated, I will give you a call. First question - where are LAPS response files documented - They are in the Lan Adapter and Protocol Support book, not the LCU book. Check there for lots of instructions for LAPS response files. It appears that you want to use a new token ring driver for your bootable diskettes (OLITOK). I hope this is a good assumption and I will explain a little about LAPS and THINLAPS. THINLAPS is strictly used to put a very skinny transport on the diskettes that are used to boot a pristine system (a system that has no Netbios connectivity. THINLAPS is restricted in that it will only support the installation of the network adapters that are included in the NTS/2 first diskette. It does not support the installation of an OEM adapter for bootable diskette purposes. LAPS is used to install and configure the transport on a hard file and it does support the installation and configuration of adapter drivers not shipped with its 1st or 3rd diskettes. If you want your network adapter driver installed and configured by LAPS, put the driver, the NIF file and any ancillary files on the LAPS 1st diskette in the \ibmcom\macs subdirectory. Put the message file for that driver in the \ibmcom subdirectory. Now it appears that you want to use THINLAPS with your new OLITOK driver. In order to do that you will have to run THINLAPS using the regular IBMTOK.NIF parameter and then manually modify the THINLAPS output. Modify the driver statements in CONFIG.SYS to reference the OLITOK driver instead of IBMTOK and change the protocol.ini in the IBMTOK_nif section to say drivername = olitok$ instead of drivername = ibmtok$. If there are OTHER required parameters that the OLITOK driver needs in order to successfully load, they must also be manually added. Required parameters are identified in the NIF file by the OPTIONAL = statement. Lastly, your OLITOK driver appears to have downloadable microcode. This file must also be manually copied to the bootable diskettes. Make sure there isn't a protocol.ini parameter that identifies where the OLITOK microcode should reside. Lastly, make sure that the OLITOK microcode isnt required to exist in a certain place (subdirectory or hard file). Ok, so that is a lot of information and I am not sure I answered your question. If I didnt then I will call you up. Otherwise, I hope this will clear things up. cheers...Laurie Turner ----- LSYSBETA CFORUM appended at 14:32:48 on 92/10/07 GMT (by MUHLBA at AUSVM1) Subject: NTS/2 LCU support Ref: Append at 15:45:33 on 92/10/06 GMT (by XXNOVA24 at TORVMCOP) The number for the redbook for OS/2 2.0 installation is GG24-3783.

There are a large number of improvements that can be made to enhance the product, but that does not take away from the fact that LS 3.0 is much better than the previous code and, at least for my environment, it seems like an excellent fit.

Netbios over TCP/IP is supported, but the only documentation that I have seen is a complete replacement, ie take netbeui stack out and put the TCP/IP stack in. You should be able to run both concurrently, but there is no documentation on how to do this (that I have seen). Novell has a technique to support Netbios Submit style apps (e.g. Lotus Notes) that allows for Netbios/IPX as well as Netbios/Netbeui. But if the Netbios/IPX virtual LAN is defined as a wrknet, the requester fails. 3. I have received no response from IBM regarding netbios/XNS support. I know that MS LAN MAN can do this, but haven't tried migrating it. 4. multiple protocol stacks, each with netbios API mapping can work (see #2 above). I have seen no evidence, however, that the requester can handle this nor that LAPS can set this up correctly. 5. No evidence of Requester running over APPC or OSI protocols. In regards to my Netware co-existance questions: 1. LAPS' knowlege of ODI is limited to replacing them with NDIS drivers. In a situation where ODI drivers are desired, LAPS will break your config.sys and protocol.ini files. 2. I asked the question about Netbios/IPX and Netbios/Netbuei co-existance at least three differnt ways. It works if you use an undocumented technique I got from Novell tech support. LAPS will break this in your protocol.ini file by removing the configuration for multiple netbios'. 3. It looks like IBM is recommending NDIS because LAPs will replace ODI drivers with NDIS drivers. What people will do if they have cards with only (or better) ODI drivers is up to them. 4. I have not been able to get the new NDIS stack to run on my pc so I can't tell if Novell's Network Management Map software will run over NDIS. But an option in the install seems to imply this is supported. 5. I have used ODI drivers for an NE2000 card and run IBM's TCP/IP on it, but have had little success with binding Netbeui to it. Wheather this would be a supported configuration, I doubt it. IBM has bot responded to this question. 6. I would like to think that IPX VDDs would work with NDIS drivers, but I have not been able to test it, IBM did not respond to this question, and.

At least the install doesn't allow it. I don't know what would happen if you simply changed it in the ibmlan.ini. I think this restriction is because some useful, netbios group names can be built using the domain and machine names as parts of that netbios name. Netbios names have their own length restrictionsand if domain or computernames were too long, there would be no way to create these 'built' names. I don't remember any examples of the 'built' names, but I have the impression that they have something to do with aliases or domains. Matt Hickman, Chevron Matt@bhice.hou130.chevron.com ----- LSYSBETA CFORUM appended at 19:06:41 on 92/10/13 GMT (by TBHIC at OS2CUST) Subject: A couple of issues Some of the issues I would like to raise regarding 3.0 are: 1. not enough network cards are supported with NDIS drivers. I have an Ne2000 comaptible card on my pc that I can only access though an ODI driver. NE2000 cards are very common. IBM needs to get as many ndis drivers with the correct .nif information files out there as possible. 2. The need to specify the mac address to run IPX is obnoxious. It makes it nearly impossible to automate an install using Universal adressing. Another rpoint for ODI drivers. 3. I have a pc where LAPS from 2.0 crapped out because it couldn't handle some things that I had done to the protocol.ini file. It left some files in a 'locked' state. When 3.0 saw this it told me to re-boot and try again. Those locked files were never processed. I eventually had to delete some files in the \os2\install directory. But if that hadn't worked, my next step would have been to reformat and re-install. The 3.0 install should be able to handle the locked file scenerio by itself and not depend upon the previous LAPS comming to normal end of job. 4. Loosen up, accomodate other vendor, walk the extra mile. This is the new IBM that has to live in a multi-vendor world. Document how to run netbios over multiple protocols. Migrate configurations from the net.cfg. Accomodate ODI drivers with LAPS. Be flexible.

Being that OS/2 2.0 supports MVDM's, and the network layer is at the OS/2 level, will LS 3 allow for assigning the same drive ID's (in different VDM's) to different server resources? Alot of the DOS programs "burn in" drives and/or paths into their configs, and if you have *lots* of applications, you quickly run out of drives (esp if you use some sort of standardization ie: Run programs off of R: and get data from S:).Does/can/will this be expanded to OS/2 sessions? If not, OS/2 doesn't seem to much betterthan DOS/DLR, if two programs require the same drive id, then the second one JUST DOESN'T RUN. Just a thought...

Thanks, Dale Wagner IBM RTP, NC ----- LSYSBETA CFORUM appended at 13:55:15 on 92/10/20 GMT (by DCSPELCE at AUSVM2) Subject: DOS-OS/2 and Drive Assingments Ref: Append at 14:36:07 on 92/10/15 GMT (by SSIA013 at OS2CUST) Paul: Since our OS/2 redirector is actually a file system device driver, all drive reassignments from any one OS/2 session can be accessed from any other OS/2 (and DOS) session. This is part of the architecture of OS/2's installable file system interface and will probably always be that way. However, there is hope for you... You can still install and run the DOS LAN Requester in any specific DOS session and redirect drives that only that specific DOS session can access. Of course, this requires that you have the DLR started in multiple DOS sessions, but it does make your scenario possible. Any device redirections that occur in those specific DOS sessions where the DLR is resident will override device reassignments made from the OS/2 sessions. Note, however, that the DLR cannot be started from an emulated DOS session. This limits you to running your DOS and Windows apps that require control over redirected drives and devices to run in specific DOS sessions. From a compatibility point of view, it is also possible to run OEM network drivers in the VDM (specific-DOS only) environment, such as the NetWare DOS client, if you want a network interface other than the DLR to redirect drives and devices.

This workstation could NET USE against one of our OS/2 LAN Server 1.3 servers (NetBEUI, 802.2 on Token-Ring) and then NET USE against a WAN accessible Ungermann-Bass server (RFC compliant NetBIOS, TCP/IP on Ethernet). To get to the U-B server, our TCP/IP stuff went through an 8209 Bridge to get from our Token-Ring to our Ethernet, then through a CISCO connected 56 KB line to get to the remote Ethernet. I haven't done exhaustive testing, but I had no trouble moving files from our OS/2 LAN Server to the remote U-B server and vice versa. The configuration isn't trivial, but it's not impossible. My CONFIG.SYS goes something like this: DEVICE=D:\TCPIP\BIN\INET.SYS DEVICE=D:\TCPIP\BIN\IFNDIS.SYS DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\NETBEUI.OS2 DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\NETBIOS.OS2 DEVICE=C:\IBMTCPNB\NBDRIVER.SYS (the IBM NetBIOS for TCP/IP driver) IFS=C:\IBMLAN\NETPROG\NETWKSTA.200 DEVICE=C:\IBMLAN\NETPROG\RDRHELP.200 DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\MACS\IBMTOK.SYS Note that the IBM NETBEUI.OS2 and NETBIOS.OS2 drivers were loaded before the IBM NetBIOS for TCP/IP driver. The NETBIND call is located farther down in the file. In the PROTOCOL.INI file, the NETBEUI_nif module didn't change. I added a NETBIOS_nif module with the following two lines: DriverName = netbios$ Bindings = IBMTOK_nif The file also contains the TCPIP_XIF module, DriverName = TCPIP$ Bindings = IBMTOK_nif In the IBMLAN.INI file, I had to modify two lines: Under the networks section, net1=netbios$,0 (this is for the IBM NetBIOS for TCP/IP) net2=netbeui$,0,LM10,32,50,14 (this is for the IBM NetBEUI) and farther down, wrknets=net1,net2 The only other requirement was access to a NetBIOS Name Server. I think we were using a DOS machine running Wollongong software to provide this service. I'm currently working on an OS/2 LAN Server configuration which would allow either DOS or OS/2 requesters running NetBEUI, 802.2 on Token-Ring or DOS requesters running RFC NetBIOS, TCP/IP on Ethernet to connect to the server. I'm also going to try the FTPD and NFSD services to provide additional connectivity. I think it can be done and would sure consider working with you to figure out optimal configuration settings.

I first tried while booted to OS/2, but the brain-dead update procedure tried to call a DOS EXEC from WINOS2. Forced to boot up real IBM DOS 5.0. After booting real DOS, loading DLR and WIN31, I again ran the install procedure for Corel Draw 2.01. At a point in the install procedure (repeatable)I receive a big popup panel that says "Network Drive not ready" "Cancel" "Retry". This happens when I think the Corel Draw install (a Windows app) has called a DOS file decompressor (LHARC), and is tryi ng to decompress the main (large) CORELDRW.EXE file. If I try Retry, WIN31 locks very hard (BRS time). If I cancel I am knoked completely out of Windows 31. I then tried the same feat, except I used real WIN 3.0 this time. Again I received the drive not ready warning at the same point in the install. If I cancel, I get a UAE. If I retry, I start getting the beeping every second, like when the network is extremely busy. This continues and I have to reboot the PS/2. If I install DLR from LS 2.0, and keeping all else the same, I receive no error s when running the Corel Draw install program with WIN31. I realize this error is quite bizaar, maybe related to the WIN install program calling a real mode DOS file decompressor, or could it be a tuning difference in DLR LS3.0 having more parameters changed/added to the last line in DOSLAN.INI?

The complete name is "NETBIOS for TCP/IP for OS/2" it is listed it is listed in the "Personal Systems/2 and Printers Sales Advisor" (1991/92 Winter Edition), the IBM Part# is 94F0534, 94F0535 (addition -al license option). Hopefully you can use this number to locate it throught your Rep./Dealer. To start installation of Netbios for TCP/IP for OS/2, insert "Disk 1" of Netbios for TCP/IP and Enter "A:INSTALL" .

I'm sure I'm on the right course now. I'm hoping to find DOS support within this product but realistically don't expect to. Routeable protocols have become such a "must" at my company that many application development efforts underway with 6.2 are being seriously revisited!

Matt Hickman, Chevron Matt@bhice.hou130.chevron.com ----- LSYSBETA CFORUM appended at 23:10:31 on 92/10/23 GMT (by MATT at AUSVM1) Subject: NETBIOS over TCP/IP Ref: Append at 20:57:34 on 92/10/23 GMT (by JKW9590 at OS2CUST) Kevin, the product's name, "NetBIOS for TCP/IP for OS/2" really means what it says: No DOS. But there's one bit of good news: It also works with OS/2 LAN Requester 1.3 running on OS/2 1.3. Matt Barkley, PS LAN Systems Internet: matt@ausvm1.austin.ibm.com ----- LSYSBETA CFORUM appended at 23:16:29 on 92/10/23 GMT (by MATT at AUSVM1) Subject: NETBIOS over TCP/IP coexisting with native NetBIOS Ref: Append at 21:15:52 on 92/10/23 GMT (by TBHIC at OS2CUST) No, the documentation does not. I'm not in the testing group, but my understanding was that we had not tested it enough to offer official support. BUT there's good news: Chuck Immich of Boeing Computer Systems in Wichita figured out how to make NetBEUI/NetBIOS and TCP/NetBIOS coexist. I have tried it, and it works. Go over to OS2LAN CFORUM for the details. His original append got pruned off, but I have re-appended it, mostly because you were asking. Enjoy!

Try to run PC Tools from a LAN Server 2.0. Program usually locks up after 10-15 minutes use, and when trying to use CP Backup also. If I go back to LSP 1.25 and DLR LS 2.0 all problems disappear. There appears to be some problems with the level of DLR shipped with LS 3.0 bet a, as I expierned a DLR/WIN problem yesterday when trying to update a copy of Corel Draw on a LS 2.0 Server, and also found a post on 92/09/01 "Drive disconnect using DLR + DLR/WIN". Lets hope these bugs are worked out.

The symptom was that the pc locked up (still had mouse movement, but no keyboard) when the second dot of was bing displayed as the requester started. I finally got some time to try to get it to work and now it does. It turns out that if I remove the Procom SCSI adapter from my PC, the problem disappears. There are no OS/2 drivers for this SCSI board, so I generally only use its CD-ROM via a booted DOS diskette image. I can live without the adapter and the CD-ROM, but it is a problem. Here is the information I have on the Procom setup: Procom CC Enabler (SCSI adapter) S/N:010536 Int 5 Base memory 3EC RAM D0000 Pusl_ROM V1.11 DOS device drivers Procom CD ROM SCSI device 6 Int 5 is generally LPT2. I have my lpt2 port disabled, and in any case, it works with the ODI drivers and ODINSUP.

The customers have access to the archives in downloadable form from the OS/2 BBS "Software Library". We are also hoping to have archive access in FORBROWS in the not to distant future.

It seems that the batch files to fire this application up have changed and the cookbook to do this hasn't caught up yet. Has anyone done this and have any tips for me? Jim Snively, Sun Company, Inc ----- LSYSBETA CFORUM appended at 16:33:15 on 92/10/29 GMT (by YOUNGR at AUSVM1) Subject: Is DLR API supposed to support DLR Interupts too? Ref: Append at 00:51:06 on 92/09/23 GMT (by IL19543 at OS2CUST) Mike, The "Virtual DOS LAN API Device Driver" is intended to support as many of the DLR API's as possible. If you have a Beta copy the the VDD it probably does not work. Support for the INT 2AH Function 7802H (Get userid and Logon status) is in the golden code. Russell Young DLR Development
