Geza:

Over on Compuserve's IBMOS2 there was a message about the NW requesters
being ready in a week or two and that one could obtain it from the Novell
forum when they were.  One catch, Novell has attached a password to the
files.  See if you can chase down the message, it should give you the

Subject: os/2,dos,netware-need 3270 emulation for os/2
I am trying to get 3270 emulation on an os/2 requestor connected
to a netware server.  The Netware network is ehternet.  Have dos
machines using a Rumba 3270 gateway.  Need OS/2 3270 emulation solution.
Can anyone suggest solution alternatives.  Will OS/2 gateway (assuming
i can get NDIS drivers for the Eagle NE-2 adapter) using comm mgr work
with Netware drivers (OIS drivers? i think)?  Can i get the current
dos type Netware drivers to work in a dos window under OS/2 V2?  (i have
tried this and the IPX netware driver seems to lock the system.  Are
there new drivers that might make the dos sessions work with the
ethernet adapters).
What is Netwares solution to this.
any tips, or leads would be appreciated.

Subject: OS/2 Requester does not have a virtual 802.5 support

I have been trying to get the Netware Requester to work with the
DOS Lan Support Program but the DOS LAn Requester always fails.
This appears to be what should happen since Netware does not have a
virtual 802.5 driver for DOS. Or you could say that there is no
OS/2 NDIS driver for the DOS Lan SUpport program. IBM is looking into this
ticket number 2E138 and understand the problem but I wanted to document
it here for anyone else how has the same problem. If anyone does know
a work around on how to get DOS Lan SUpport to work with the Netware
Requester I would love to hear it.

Subject: Need concurrent VDM, OS/2 Requester, & Comm Mgr access to TR adapter

  am desparately trying to get both DOS and OS/2 to share the same token ring
adapter.  This concurrent access through the same adapter is not working. I
thought the Netware requester for OS/2 was supposed to allow this concurrency.
I need to support my current DOS Netware Token Ring LAN through the DOS box
while allowing the OS/2 applications to capture to the Netware LAN printers.
I would also like to use the OS/2 Comm Mgr to support the mainframe emulation
through the same adapter.  I do not want to purchase (hundreds) additional
token ring adapter boards to support this configuration.  I would be better off
staying on a DOS platform if that's the case.  Is there any hope for this
configuration actually working?  I am currently running Netware 3.11 with IBM
Token Ring 4/16A adapters in an MCA network.  I am trying to use the Beta
version of the Netware Requester for OS/2.  Will the GA version of the Netware
requester take care of my problem?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Why does your customer want to do that?  The recent release of LAN Server
(2.0) is the best yet and no conversion is needed.  I don't think there
are any conversion utilities, but if there were the passwords could not
be converted.  NetWare and LAN Server store incompatible irreversibly
encrypted forms of the password.

Ref:     Append at 21:44:25 on 92/05/07 GMT (by IL17978 at OS2CUST)

What version of the Netware requester are you using? I know of a
problem with two versions of the animal, one is for 1.3 and was offered
for download on CI$ as "NSD003", is a sub-release of 1.3 requester (the
latest I think), the other one is the one for 2.0, pre-release also
available on CI$ about 2-3 weeks ago. The problem has to do with enu-
merating files, like in DosFindFirst. A good way to demonstrate it is to
use pkzip -f for refresh, even if files qualify, pkzip does'nt pick them
up, but if you use another version of the requester, or the hard disk,
everything is fine. I tried to report the problem back for 1.3, but it
is obviously still around. Anyone knows of a proper channel?
I'm not sure this has to do with your problem, though...

I'm in the same situation as you. We have several OS/2 certified
workstations on order along with the upgrade to the Novel requestors.
We need concurrent network access from both OS/2 and DOS VDM
sessions. If this doesn't fly we're going to have mud on our faces. I
did hear over on Compuserve that using the Beta requestors with OS/2
GA is a problem. You need the GA requestors.

Subject: Unattended install from NOVELL LAN

I have an unattended installation procedure working from NOVELL LAN (Response
file on LAN drive - drivers on install diskette!!)
I have also extended the procedure to install LAN and ES CommMgr into final
system.
The only problem I seem to have is that I sometimes cannot REDIRECT the
printers to a LAN printer. I can logon correctly and see/use all LAN drives,
and CAPTURE returns no error messages. However, when I try to print the
entire session often hangs and will only go away with hard reboot.
I have also seen same problem with normal install (load all the diskettes!!)
but can not tell if it is NOVELL or printer related.
Doesn't seem to matter what KIND of printer is installed or what port is
redirected.
Is this a known problem? Does it go away with REAL GA release? (When is
that??)

Suggestions???

It works for me fine. 2.0 GA Entry server\requester GA, ES (3278)GA ,
TCPIP 121 , and NOVELL (304Beta) works fine on a TokenRing 16/A network.
you just have to edit the config.sys and protocol.ini to make it
work. The most important is the order of the drivers.

Rich,
   Funny you should ask.  I just got this to work with the Novell beta
requester today, so it should work with whatever the final GA version
is.  I had OS/2 Comm Mngr for 3270 and 5250 emulation, TCP/IP, and
Lan requester installed and working with the NDIS drivers on the OS/2
v2 GA base.  Per several helpful responses in another forum, the netware
requester is now coexisting peacfully.  What I did was as follows:
  1. Install the Novell requester as instructed, using the TOKEN.SYS
     driver.
  2. After Novell makes its additions to the CONFIG.SYS, go in and
     change the TOKEN.SYS reference to LANSUP.SYS (I'm not sure
     if this was offered as a choice during install or not. If it
     is, take it and save a step.:-)
  3. Using the Configuration/This Workstation choice from the
     the Novell install utility, create a NET.CFG file in the
     root directory of your boot drive with the following information:

        link driver LANSUP
           node address 4000XXXXYYYY   ** your locally admin'd address
           frame Token-Ring            ** TRN frame type

  4. Reboot, and watch the drivers load!

  Again, just passing on some information that was passed along to me.

Best of luck,

To quote Wayne and Garth....getting it all to work...NOT!!!!!!
1. The TOKEN.SYS replaced with LANSUP.SYS won't hack it if you're using
   a token ring card...it comes up with some sort of Ethernet message..and
   error in our environment.
2. when I try to load the ODINSUP.SYS driver I get the following error
   message:
   MLI0207: Failed oto obtain Protocol Manager Dispatch Point.
   AND....SYS1201: ....ODINSUP.SYS....was not installed....
I have messed around with this a bit too long (off and on throughout the
whole Beta testing procedure, and now with PRE-RELEASE novell requester for
GA code...) so my question to all you who swear that this works:

A. In what order did you install products? I installed Lan Server, then
   Extended Services, both of which worked to get to our host and our server,
   including across a bridge.
B. After I installed Novell Reqester for OS/2, I could successfully get to
   the Novell Server, but only got a COMM 695 when trying to attach to our
   host.
C. I only have a TOKEN RING CARD (IBM PS/2, TRUE BLUE, THROUGH AND THROUGH...)
   16 MBps, PS/2 mod 70, etc...NOT DUAL BOOT...NO BOOT MANAGER...Just OS/2
   In addition, I have followed the COEXIST documents the best I can to
   do this right. But I continually tell folks here this will work, and I am
   frustrated when I am unable to succeed.

D. Do you have to reconfigure Comm manager after this whole procedure to make
   this stuff work correctly? Should I start from scratch and reinstall
   everything in a different order?

The installation order that I followed was:  OS/2 2.0, Extended
Services 1.0, IBM LAN Requester 2.0, NetWare Requester for OS/2 2.0.
The order of ES and LS does not really matter, just so long as they
are both functioning prior to installing NetWare.

Everything that I am about to tell you is based on the ODINSUP.SYS driver
and not LANSUP.SYS.  I have not yet installed using LANSUP.SYS so I
have no real usage experience with it.  I have installed using
ODINSUP.SYS many times (and had many problems in the beginning).

The problem that you are having is most likely a combination of
things:

   1.  The order of the device drivers in your CONFIG.SYS file.  The
       coexistance of requesters and extended services is very
       sensitive to device driver position in the ODI environment.

   2.  The bindings with the PROTOCOL.INI file are not setup quite
       right.  Also, some of the pre-release code was so sensitive
       to things within PROTOCOL.INI that it was necessary to remove
       all statements that were not necessary for operation.

   3.  The NET.CFG file is not properly configured.  This one is
       directly related to the bindings problem in #2.

Based on the information you gave and the errors that you describe,
these are the most likely problems.  Now all you need is the solution
right?  I don't think that you need to scrap everything and start over.
Instead you just need to edit the CONFIG.SYS, PROTOCOL.INI, and NET.CFG
files and put everything in the correct order.  Of course this is
eaiser said than done.

I would be happy to place and append here on the BBS with working copies
of my CONFIG.SYS, PROTOCOL.INI, and NET.CFG (using ODINSUP.SYS) files
if there is enough interest.  I will also check to see if I can place
these files somewhere so you can download them.  In the meantime, if
you would like a copy of these files for reference, have your friendly
IBM SE or Marketing Rep. send a PROFS note to THOMPSON @ DALVM41B
and I will send the files out and he or she can do the download for you.

Subject: GETTING IT ALL TO WORK...REALLY....

I had a wonderful conversation with Marty O'DEA yesterday, IBM, in Bethesda, MD
and he clarified lots of stuff...
1. First of all THROW AWAY ALL THE "COEXIST" documents you have seen on all
   the bulletin board, EEP, In the Personal Systems Technical Solutions for
   April, from the COEXIST text that came on the beta novell diskettes, etc.
2. DO THIS: INSTALL THE PRODUCTS AND LEAVE THE CONFIG.SYS drivers in the
   order they were installed.....DON'T MESS with ANYTHING.
3. THEN, in CONFIG.SYS, with the Novell drivers near the bottom (just like it
   installs), change TOKEN.SYS to LANSUP.SYS....Just like it says in the
   Note a few days back (FROM ODEA AT BETVMIC1)....
4. Have just the two lines in the NET.CFG, Like in the note from Marty (ODEA)
5. Don't MESS with PROTOCOL.INI...leave it alone.....
....GUESS WHAT.......IT WORKS.....
In other words, the products get installed in the config.sys where they
should be, Don't mess with anything, then follow Marty's note. It booted up
FASTER than when I had moved the drivers according to all the earlier docs.
I logged in to a LAN SERVER across 2 bridges, a Novell network on my ring,
and the Host across 1 bridge.
I should have known that IBM set up OS/2 to install things right...
Happy computing....Now I can convert my Novell stuff to show up on my desktop.
(And if anyone can really get the coexist document to work, just SHOW ME!
I'll modify my files one more time IF someone can show me how to do it
successfully)  My environment: 1 16MB IBM TR card, everything talks across
that one card...And THANKS SO MUCH, MARTY!!!!!!

Technical Solutions mag for april...Basically, he let OS/2 put the
drivers where it intended them to be, then replace TOKEN.SYS with LANSUP.SYS.
2 lines in Net.cfg and that was it.
It couldn't be easier.
Now, if there are Performance reasons why Austin is telling us to do things
the other way, that's ok. But let me know why this is the case.
What Marty's solution shows to me is that the OS/2 development staff (MINUS
NOVELL) put stuff where it should be. LANSUP.SYS is Novell's solution to
make it easy for anyone to add the coexistence, if it is necessary.
I really feel like I've wasted MONTHS, since I've been trying to preach since
Jan that "SOON" I would get this to work... and that OS/2 is the way to go.
It's sort of anticlimactic, since I feel like I messed with some complex
solution, when the answer was so simple....(I was almost embarrased to admit
to my co-workers what was done to get it to work..go back to the beginning,
change 1 line, create a file with 2 lines, and reboot.

You cannot let the install programs mess with your protocol.ini file and

I had my own pc set up this way on token ring and later added an ethernet

It seems like the capture program does wery strange things with the

prompt it just hang the session when i tried to send something to the
printer. If I instead used the netware tools to do the capture everything
worket wery well (even from win-os/2). This is probably because the nw
utils is from the 6.177 LA drop, the netware tools is up to date with the

Subject: Trap 000D in Token.SYS

I have the latest beta Novell requester (6.307 I believe??) and we still have a
 TRAP 000D when TOKEN.SYS loads.  We have had this problem since early fall,
and reported it to the EEP BBS I believe a couple of times.

As soon as the token ring card inserts into the ring and opens the relay, the
TRAP occurs.  You then have to power off/on to try again.  It is intermittent
on some of our workstations, and 100% fatal on others.  Mine never works, it is
 a PS/2 70-A21, 16meg, 16/4 Token ring (at 4 MBS) and 8514/A.  The only way we
can get Novell to work is to plug the lobe cable into a spare MAU, wait until
TOKEN.SYS loads and becomes active on the ring, and then swap the cable back
onto our production ring.

We have also noticed that the problem appears to be related to our 8209
TR - Ethernet bridge, however it has been months since we had the luxury to
test this with the 8209 turned off.

The trap specifics are:

The only NetWare requester that is available for OS/2 2.0 is the
beta version.  There is no offical support for this requester although
there are quite a few of us who will help you on a best effort basis.

Our stance within IBM Technical Support is that you should not use
any beta code in a production environment.  If you would like to install
the requester for the purpose of testing and learning its functions
the by all means go ahead.  However, be aware that it is beta code and
you should be prepared for unexpected results.

With all of that out of the way...  I see no reason why the 2.0
requester will not work when accessing a 2.15c server.  I will
have to check around to get an official support statement and I will
get back to you on this subject.  If I don't place a response here

Actually, I only tried LANSUP support once.  I am running OS/2 2.0 GA, ES 1.0,T
TCP/IP for OS/2 1.2.1.  I have no documentation on LANSUP available so have
only tried what was posted here in an earlier posting, leaving everything
(ie ES and TCP) installed vanilla, Leaving netware at the end of the config.
sys, and changing TOKEN.SYS to LANSUP.SYS, and editing NET.CFG.
I left ROUTE.SYS installed right after LANSUP.SYS, as nothing was mentioned
regarding it.

How does LANSUP.SYS connect to the network?   Is it an NDIS driver?  If so,
why no changes to PROTOCOL.INI?

I am most concerned with the ODI driver, TOKEN.SYS.   That has been working
well for us, except for the TRAP 000D which I posted.  We have spare MAU's
that we have to carry from PC to PC whenever a boot-up is required so that
TOKEN.SYS can successfully insert into a ring, and then swap the cable to
the real ring after the relay clicks and the driver reports the ring speed,
etc...

The problem seemed (last October) to be related to the fact that some of
our servers are on an ethernet segment, connect to the token ring via an
IBM 8209.  When the 8209 was down, the workstations would successfully
insert into the ring.   This is not something that is easy to test any
more.

The problem has been 100% solid on some workstations, and intermittent
on others, and has been with us for all versions of the Novell OS/2
support for 2.0, since early on in the EEP.  I would really like to
figure out some way to track this down so that it is fixed by GA.  As
you can imagine, 30+ users swapping spare MAUs every morning on boot-up
is not an acceptable scenario, and we cannot use OS/2 2.0 in the current
setup.

Other than this one problem, the new network aware workplace shell is
absolutly OUTSTANDING!   The ability to replace drive mappings with the
¢¢server¢vol¢path... file reference, and the auto login dialog on first
file reference is really a fantastic improvement for Novell users.

I repeat that I will do just about ANYTHING to help out track this down
so that it is fixed by GA.  The delay in availability of Novell support
is already a black mark, and if it comes out but doesn't work.....
Anyway... Thanks for the response.

  Personally, I still use a STARTUP.CMD file for logging on. I have
found one advantage of this is I can control the order of things
starting. This is for an IBM Token Ring but I imagine that if your
Novell start up worked before using STARTUP.CMD, it probably will
on 2.0 also. Worth a try.

Ref:     Append at 14:00:46 on 92/06/10 GMT (by sampayj at Basvm1)

Hello

I have a customer who is using Netware for AIX as the file/print server
and multiple Dos/Netware clients.

The question is what form of file locking occurs between the DOS/Netware
users and the Host/AIX users accessing the same file.

I am aware that file locks can be applied to the Netware users using the
Native locks flag in the File Services config Menu. It recommends this
flag is left Inactive as not all Netware locks map correctly to host
system locks !

I presume thatthis means by default no locking occurs between the host
and Netware users. If the Native Locks Flag is set to inactive then we
are unsure !

Any experiences of this ??

Subject: Drive mappings & WP Shell

The only problem with STARTUP.CMD is that there is no guarantee it
will complete before WPS tries to start the applications that were
running at the time of the last shutdown.  If these applications reside on
mapped drives, this causes an error.

I'm about to try the following, which is not elegant but might work:

In CONFIG.SYS:

In MYSTART.CMD:

Subject: reply TCP and Novell

I am not doing it with 3com, but it is working fine for us with Token
Ring.   We are running Extended Services, TCP/IP 1.2.1, and Netware
Requester, using the Netware ODI driver (Token.SYS) along with
ODINSUP which provides the NDIS connection required by TCP/IP and
ES.

I used a version of the Coexist.TXT as found on the Novell requestor
diskette.  It requires significant changes to PROTOCOL.INI, CONFIG.SYS,
NET.CFG.

I found it was best to get TCP and ES running via NDIS first and once
the bugs were out, add Novell, and then reorganize CONFIG.SYS per the
coexist instructions.

I had uploaded copies of my configs to the EEP bbs a few months ago,
as did some others.  I am having problems here with access to the BBS
which makes that more difficult.  (I really preferred the *REAL* bbs)

Good Luck

Dave --
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I can confirm that the Novell
Requester did not go out the door today. . .  I am also waiting on the
requester @ PCC and have been told by one of the Lanoids (Lan Support)
that his contact at Novell indicated that the requester was due to ship
7/15!!  I have installed a "Beta" requester on my workstation and have run
into significant problems with it, but it is better than no connection.
Our Lan group was less fortunate -- after installing it on one of their
evaluation machines and attempting a drag 'n drop file transfer to the
server, they wound up putting the server in a loop and created over
5,000 zero length files on the server before re-booting.  PCC will not
install any additional copies of Beta requesters. . .

Keep me posted on your experiences w/the requester.

Hi Susan,
We were getting the same error message. Basically the message is saying
that a file server can not be found which supports the protocol you are
using. To get around it, check the following:
-Make sure you have an L:\OS2 somewhere in your path.
-Make sure you have ROUTE.SYS loaded if you are going across a bridge.
-Make sure you have a ROUTE.NLM loaded on the server if you are going
 across a bridge (I'm not sure if this is available on Netware 2.15c).
-Make sure you do NOT have a LASTDRIVE statement in your CONFIG.SYS.
-Check to see what PROTOCOL the file server is using. (With 3.1 Netware,
there is a command PROTOCOL that is executed on the console to list the
currently defined protocols.) Your NET.CFG file should be set up to use
the appropriate protocol. (Probably TOKEN-RING  (the default)).
We also have a link support statement in the NET.CFG file which defines
additional buffers.

This is what our NET.CFG looks like:
   Link Support
       buffers 15 4210

   Link Driver TOKEN
       frame TOKEN-RING

(We are using the TOKEN.SYS driver)

Hope this helps.

Subject: Netware Requestor

We have encountered a problem using the Novell Requestor on a client
work station (Dos/Windows) trying to connect to OS/2 servers.  It seems
that the Novell client piece waits for 60 seconds to listen for all
SAPs broadcasted by OS/2 servers running on a Novell LAN.  It builds a
static table and allows Named Pipes connections only to those servers
in the table.  If the client does not "hear" an OS/2 server in the 60
second timeframe, you cannot connect to the pipes.  We've raised the
max. server name parm -- it increases the liklihood of hearing the
server, but we're wondering if IBM and Novell are aware of the problem
and if there is a workaround.  Seems like I might have the same problem
with OS/2 clients accessing OS/2 servers in a Novell lan if Novell
implements the same design -- static table of server names built at
"boot" time.  Any comments?

presents us with a menu to select which server to install the utilities
on. However, no servers are displayed. If we click on the attach button,
we get the attach popup as expected. When we enter the login name and
password we get an error message saying we do not have enough rights
to do this function. This happens even though we login using the

the "Device=c:\netware\route.sys" out of config.sys everything worked
fine.  I recall that there was a procedure to convert from non-

(6/23/92) Novell had a "media alert" announcing shipment of the NetWare
Workstation Kit for OS/2 v2.0.  Their announcement states it is
available electronically now (NetWare Express) and will be available
6/29/92 through normal channels and the 800 number (800-UPDATE1) for
$30 a corporate license.

Although we haven't announced our plans to ship the workstation kit,
we actually have been doing so since 6/7/92 (we GA'd before Novell!).
The announcement process wheels turn exceedingly slow, so I expect the
official announcement to come in July.  But as soon as we get firm
manufacturing dates from Novell for 1) Blue workstation kits as well
as 2) NetWare Services for OS/2 (the requester plus the management map
that we originally announced).

Subject: Coexistence problems among Netware, LAN Requestor, and 3270Session

I just installed the Netware Requestor on a machine that already had the
following Extended Services: LAN Requestor, 3270 Emulation via token-ring,
and Database Manager / Query Manager.  Here are my experiences and problems:

1) After installation and rebooting, the famous NWD0115: Error getting
   connection ID (0x880f)

2) My SE gave me a copy of IBM Internal Document Q593340 which was supposed to
   resolve this problem.  It did in a limited fashion; the Netware and LAN
   Server requestors worked, but the 3270 Emulation did not.

3) Comm Mgr message was ACS0111W: Adapter 00 for IBMTRNET DLC cannot be
   activated.  I restored the CONFIG.SYS and PROTOCOL.INI to pre-Netware specs
   and everything but the Netware was back to normal.

4) There are various areas that have suggestions about these problems: OS2BBS,
   ASKSUPPORT on IBMLink, the Document Q593340, the README that comes with the
   GA code, and various public OS2 BBS forums.

   *** All of these answers are different, even though they are trying to
       accomplish the same result. ***

   For example, the GA README and Doc Q593340 give different CONFIG.SYS
   listings for the same coexistence configuration.

5) My first need is to get my 3270 Emulation to work with LAN Requestor and
   Netware.

6) There MUST be a single supported configuration to accomplish this type of
   coexistence.  This should not have to be a research project.

7) The electronically distributed GA code does not come with any documentation,
   even though the README refers to a Netware Requestor manual.

8) I assume that the 2nd and 3rd disks of the Netware Requestor are for loading
   on to the server.  Without documentation, I cannot be sure.

It is very difficult for those of us who have worked through the beta test and
the slow distribution of upgrades to make V2.0 GA work in a real environment
without documentation and consistent, clear support.

  A Technical Flash was recently issued that covers the installation

It goes into great detail with step by step instructions and
explanations. It also gives examples of all set up files; CONFIG.SYS,
other SYS files, all of the INI files, and more.

 The OS/2 BBS "WZ" users can access this using the Search option from
the Primary Menu (first after Logon). WSTC and other IBMLink users
can use their regular IBMLink Search method. In either case, use a

Ref:     Append at 18:57:35 on 92/06/27 GMT (by CMB1100 at OS2CUST)

John,

    I agree, configuring Netware without the directions is very
frustrating.  Documentation is apparently coming, but I haven't
seen it.  The README which arrived with the GA code does provide some
good examples, especially for the LANSUP driver which involves less
hand coding than the ODINSUP driver.  I currently have the LANSUP
driver for netware working with Lan Requester, CM 3270 sessions, and
IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 on a 16MB token ring.  I haven't tried it with
DB, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

  Try starting with a CONFIG.SYS that works for CM3270, Lan Requester,
and database manager.  Use Novell's install and pick the LANSUP driver.
If you need to cross bridges, edit what Novell installs in your CONFIG
to include a DEVICE=x:\...\ROUTE.SYS after the IPX/SPX lines, but don't
move anything else around.  LANSUP should not require you to move
anything.  Next create a NET.CFG file with the following information:
        LINK SUPPORT                      *this is what's in
           BUFFERS 15 1130                *mine...

        link driver LANSUP
            node address 400002387657
            frame Token-Ring

The important things to note are that a 'node addr' line is required
with LANSUP, even if you're using UAAs, and the syntax of the 'frame'
line is Token-Ring or Token-Ring_snap, not Token_Ring or Token_Ring_
snap as shown in the README example.  I've heard other people say
that not having a blank line at the end of the NET.CFG file can
also cause it not to be read properly.

  When I first installed the GA code with LANSUP it didn't install
ROUTE.SYS automagically and I got an error, but after I added ROUTE
everything seems to work fine and I didn't have to move anything or
modify PROTOCOL.INI, etc.  The FLASH that's referenced in another
append goes into more detail about these CONFIGS and is well worth
the time if you can get it.

Good luck,

Subject: Shallow Adapter Model

One of the thing touted for this version of OS/2, is the use of the 'shallow
adapter model'.  That is, that the memory resources on the adapter card
would be relieved by using the computer's memory.  This would leave the
adapter memory for buffering messages.  The guy who told me this last
year at the Newport tech conference, was talking LAN server and NDIS.
What I need to know if the ODI drivers also use thi 'shallow adapter
model' and move the load to the computers memory.

Thanks for the information.

Can someone tell me if LANSUP will work with Comm Manager and IBM
Lan Adapter NDIS support without the presence of the LAN Requestor
for Lan Server?

We run Comm Manager,  IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 1.2.1, and Novell Netware
requestor  (currently beta still.... waiting for GA).  We do not
currently use Lan Server or Lan Requestor.

I really like the idea of eliminating the ODI drivers...  we have had
lots of problems due to broadcasts on the token ring causing a trap
000D in the Novel token.sys driver.    I had tried LANSUP but without
any documentation, I was not too successful.

Some of the postings here re LANSUP give me enough info to try it again
but not understanding what it does, I don't know if it is worth the try.
What protocol or layer does LANSUP talk to, and what drivers are a
prereq to it?

Thanks...

Subject: LANSUP  ... what does it do

LANSUP writes to IBM's 802.2. It was covered in an FTN of June 25
and there is info on it in Flash 2129. LANSUP is a Novell driver that
pretends to be the ODI board driver but instead writes to 802.2. This
was an old trick on Token Ring, what's new is it now works on Ethernet
but only for the 802.2 frame format. The real board driver is NDIS (IBMTOK).
Both ODI and NDIS components get loaded.
Was interested in your LANSUP trap 000d comment; I have seen some of
these during OPEN ADAPTER, maybe it's fixed in the GA code since I have
not got it lately and am running TOKEN.SYS.

Per README.TXT on the GA N/W requester disk, you can code
CALL=C:\NETWARE\LOGIN.EXE servername\username
in order to force the netware login to happen before startup.cmd runs.
When I try this, the machine stops on the 'OS/2 loading please wait'...
screen and seems to be hung. In fact, it's waiting for you to enter the
password. When you type the password (blind), and hit enter, you get in.
Clearly you want a prompt to display.

Bruce...

Thanks for the info on LANSUP.   The last time I tried it, it was Comm Mgr
that would not come up when LANSUP was loaded.    That was quite a while
ago however.  I intend to try it again.

The Trap D is in TOKEN.SYS when it attempts to insert into the ring.  According
to IBM, if any broadcasts appear during the time it is trying to insert, the
driver will Trap.  This has been a severe problem for us since early on in the
EEP.  I broke the wires in my token ring cable from swapping the lobe cable
from it to a mau for each boot-up.

Our broadcasts come from an ethernet segment bridged via an 8209.

IBM says it is fixed in GA...  I sure hope so.   I am interested in LANSUP
because I can then use IBMTOK as the driver and avoid the traps.  In addition,
I wouldn't have to mash up my config.sys and protocol.ini to get the ODINSUP
stuff working.

Ref: Append at 19:20:13 on 92/07/06 GMT (by SUPKWILL at DETVMIC5)

With the Novell Requestor, you have a couple of new DOS Settings. The first
setting, VIPX ENABLED, will make your DOS session think that it has Netware
IPX drivers loaded. The second setting, NETWARE RESOURCES, will let you
specify how you want your session with your Novell server to function in the
Virtual Dos Machine. Setting NETWARE RESOURCES to PRIVATE means that you
must log in to your server from within the DOS session. Setting NETWARE
RESOURCES to GLOBAL means that if you had previously logged into your server
from OS/2, then your DOS session will know that a session with the server
exists without having to actually log in from the DOS session. My explaination
is probably as clear as mud, but I hope it helps anyway. By the way, for any of
this to work, you should have specified VIPX support for VDMs while installing
the Novell Requestors. Good Luck.

Ref: Append at 20:19:48 on 92/07/01 GMT (by NAAG8T6 at OS2CUST)

There is another approach to logging in before STARTUP.CMD runs which avoids
this problem.  Change PROTSHELL to "C:\OS2\CMD.EXE /K:STARTNET.CMD" (or some
such).  STARTNET.CMD contains the following:

@echo off
l:
:trylogin
cd os2
login servername/userid
if errorlevel 1 goto trylogin
pmshell

An added benefit of this approach may be that you have more than one chance
to enter your password correctly (perhaps you can do that already--I haven't
tried it your way).  The only drawback is that the initial CMD.EXE process
hangs around forever, but this is only an aesthetic problem--it shouldn't
consume many resources.

We ordered 32G6107 back on 5/11/92,  and have regularly had the expected
delivery date slipped 2 weeks or more at a time.  The latest promise was 7/11,
and today they told me IBM delayed it again, now promising end of July.

I have an old beta requester that is partially working.  I would really

George,

I got the requester from Novell a few weeks ago.  The first requestor they
sent was really a unformated diskette.  When I called them up, they had
already found the error in their way, and fed-xed a new set.  My order
number was 125.  I had been promised a copy from my local IBM rep, but
that is another story all together.

David, I'm really sorry you could not get the requester from your IBM rep.
I was order number 116, call 1-800-update1 again and was told one would
be fed-exed to me. 3 days later I called and was told, they were out and
would send new diskettes after the 20th of July. I then tried called any
novell number where I could get to a live body, and someone said they
would send me out new disks....but no "WHEN" indicated.
So I called my SE, left a HELP message, and had the requester about 90
minutes later...granted, I had to walk 3 blocks to IBM to get it...but
I've had better luck getting help from IBM than Novell

loaded on the Netware Server.  If this wasn't your question, please

On the workstaion you will have to load source routing support and use
the novell ODI drivers with the ODINSUP device drive.

The novell installation program will add all the necessary drivers
except DEVICE=X:\NETWARE\ODINSUP.SYS.  This device driver act as a wedge
between the ODI driver novell device drivers wants and the NDIS drivers
your LAN Requester will want.

Next, you have to rem out the IBMTOK.SYS device driver.  You are replacing
it with the novell ODI token ring driver.

Next edit the protocol.ini file and change the bindings lines to TOKEN.

Here is my protocol.ini as an example...

 ìPROT_MAN┘
     DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$

 ìIBMLXCFG┘
  LANDD_nif=LANDD.NIF
  NETBEUI_nif=NETBEUI.NIF
  IBMTOK_nif=IBMTOK.NIF
  TCPIP_nif=TCPIP.NIF

 ìLANDD_nif┘
     DRIVERNAME = LANDD$
     BINDINGS    = TOKEN
     Links      = 41
     Users      =  4
     Max_Saps   =  4
 ìNETBEUI_nif┘
     DRIVERNAME = NETBEUI$
     BINDINGS   = TOKEN
 ìIBMTOK_nif┘
     DRIVERNAME = IBMTOK$

This is so the protocol manager will bind the NETBEUI protocol to the new
token ring driver.

You then need a net.cfg for the netware drivers.  Put it in the root of
your boot drive.

Here is an example...

  link driver token
     frame token-ring
     frame token-ring_SNAP

  protocol odinsup
     bind token

  link support
     buffers 14 4202

For more information see Chapter 6 in the Netware Requester for OS/2 2.0
Manual.

Be sure the netware installation installs a device driver called ROUTE.SYS.
It should by default.

On the novell server, you need to load the ROUTE.NLM.  This will enable
source routing on the server.  If you have not already, get onto Compusrv
and get the latest token ring drivers for your server.  They are in the
NOVLIB forum.  The file name is TOKENB.ZIP.  It will have the latest
Token ring drivers and route.nlm.  They had some problems with the first
release that was distributed with 3.11.

If it is a local bridge you can improve performace by increasing the
maximum receive buffer size on the server to 4KB.  This is done with a
SET command in the startup.ncf.

SET MAXIMUM PACKET RECEIVE PACKET SIZE=4202

Subject: Search Drive Mappings
Ref: Append at 18:19:54 on 92/07/16 GMT (by TBROCKM at OS2CUST)

The reason you cannot modify the search environment is OS/2 is a protected
environment.  Each command interpreter or program when it is started
receives a copy of the master environment.

One way around this is to add the search drives to your config.sys.
OS/2 does not give an error message if a drive or drive:\directory does
not exist yet when it searches the paths.  An example would be for
Word for OS/2 installed on a server needs to be in the libpath and dpath.
During login, my m: drive is mapped to the network applications.  In my
config.sys file I have the following

libpath=c:\os2;{A lot of other directories};m:\pmword;

This has the limitation of the path will reach their size limit if you have
a lot of programs to keep in your path.

Another choice is to have a .CMD or .BAT file which alters the paths and
then calls your programs

PATH=%PATH$;M:\PMWORD
PMWORD

L: is just what novell picked when they wrote the driver.  It is documented
in the manual as such.  There is no documented way to change it.

As for the P: drive being mapped to public, I think I can help you there.
If a user does not have ANY or a BLANK personal login script, a default
one contained in the login.exe program is used.  Using the OS/2 version
of SYSCON, you can change or create a personal login script.  It must have
at least one valid command or the default one will be used.  I put

MAP DISPLAY OFF

in mine as a null command.  You can then map the publics to which ever
drive you want in the system login script.  I map mine to Z: with the line

MAP Z:=SYS:PUBLIC

CROPNFX  NLM
1040 12-18-91   3:18p   This patch fixes a problem found when a
                        client makes a request to create or open a
                        file.  When a user makes a CreateOpenFile
                        request, the server creates the file, but
                        the server's reply to the user gets lost.
                        The client then makes a second request to
                        create the file, but since it has already
                        been created, the user gets the error
                        message:

                         "file already created."

                        Additionally, when a client request is made
                        to open a file, the server opens the file,
                        but its response to the client is lost. The
                        client makes a second request to open the
                        file, and the server opens the file a second
                        time. This scenario can result in the server
                        keeping the file open while the user thinks
                        it has been closed. This problem becomes
                        apparent when the user attempts to delete
                        the file and receives the error message:

                                "File in use."

Subject: Search Drive Mappings
Ref: Append at 21:48:49 on 92/07/19 GMT (by PPBKR at OS2CUST)

What search drives do is functionally equivalent to having the same
entries in the PATH and DPATH statements.  And because you login from a
single session in OS/2, any search drives that could be set up would be only
in effect for that session.

What I have used, with fair success, is a directory on the server and
on my path that contains .bat and .cmd files that start up applications,
and make the necessary alterations to PATH and other environmental variables
to make it run.   However, some apps now put items in the .ini
files that once were in the environment or startup parameters.  Alsoicons
now hold most of the information for which a batch file was needed & can short
circuit your batch files.  So the use of any one method can be problematic.
I still think that setting up .cmd and .bat files to launch apps gives
the highest level of control on a LAN, but the industry seems to be passing
me by on this issue.

A bigger issue, from my point of view, is application setup on the desktop.
There are no full function tools that will let an administrator set up
server located applications on a user's desktop in a standard, automatic way,
without visiting each workstation, and so that they are enabled upon login
and disabled upon logout.  LAN Server has a 'public apps' folder that is
slow and limited.  Right now I am looking into using Rexx, but I am not
there yet.

Have you tried putting y:\batch in your os/2 path and running the
batch files from the OS/2 command line?  If you write a corresponding
.cmd  file  that contains a "start xxx.bat" you can control if
the app starts up in a window or full screen, if the session closes after
the app exits, etc. (the start command has number of options, but lacks
the ability to define DOS settings).  Alternatively, use the program
template, drag & drop it in the appropriate folder and tell it Y:\batch\xxx.bat
as the path and file name.  Or use 'migrate programs' and tell it to look on
the your network drives. If you use 'migrate programs' you may want to
bypass your .bat files altogether.  You may want to experiment with all the
above.  I haven't found a solution that I am real comfortatble with, yet.

printer is off a 3.11 server.

    I've tried all the recommendations that were around on the BBS and still
I'm getting these errors. I've seen something around regarding PROTOCOL.INI,
do I need to do anhthing special to this?

Subject: ES Comm Manager Hangs

Customer has Novell Requester (ship level from Novell) installed.  They
are able to access a GUPTA SQL Server via the Novell requester, but
when they try to start the Commnunications Manager, the system hangs.

This is on a PS/2 Model 90-0K9 with both an IBM Token-Ring 16/4 Adapter/A
and an IBM 3270 Connection Adapter installed.

This same customer reports that they can log on to a Novell 3.11 Server
but that they're unable to logon to a Novell 2.15 Server.  Is the 2.15
level server supported?

Check to make sure you do not have a (NDIS) second network driver loading.

Look for some device driver like IBMTOK.OS2.  This will conflict with
the TOKEN.SYS driver.

If you are on multiple ring token ring, make sure ROUTE.SYS is loaded.

For the com manager problem, check to make sure the ODINSUP device driver
is loaded and the protocol.ini file has been modified.  The bindings statements
 in the protocol.ini need to have TOKEN instead of IBMTOK_NIF after them.
Since you are using coax for 3270, I have to guess you may be using NETBUEI for
database services.  See the novell requester manual for ES interoperability.
The 2.15 server is supported.  I have had no problem logging into ours.
For the 2.15 server, make sure it has the latest token ring drivers genned
into the OS.  You can get them from compusrv, novlib forum, TOKENB.ZIP.
You also need to make sure the source routing VAP is loaded on the 2.15 server.
The OS/2 utilities and a OS/2 login script must also exist on the 2.15
server.

COEXISTENCE OF IBM LAN REQUESTER AND NOVELL NETWARE REQUESTER FOR OS/2 V2.0
ON A TOKEN-RING NETWORK

The  following  document  will lead you through the steps necessary to install
and use both the IBM OS/2 LAN Requester and the Novell NetWare  Requester  for
OS/2  2.0  on  a  single  OS/2 v2.0 workstation.   The configurations that are
presented will also work in an environment  involving  Extended  Services  1.0
(Communications Manager portion).

There  are  two  different  methods  available that will make this coexistence
possible.   The first one that will  be  presented  utilizes  the  ODINSUP.SYS
device  driver  method.    The  second  method  will show how to implement the
LANSUP.SYS driver to accomplish coexistence.  There will be four  sections  to
this document:

1.  Installation  section  for IBM OS/2 LAN Requester v2.0.  This section will
    present a brief overview of steps necessary to install the  LAN  Requester
    and  its  default  components.    For  more details on installation of the
    various components, please refer to the IBM OS/2 LAN  Server  Version  2.0
    Network Administrator Reference Volume 1: Planning and Installation.

2.  Installation section for Novell NetWare Requester for OS/2 2.0.  This will
    be  a basic list of instructions on how to use the Novell NetWare for OS/2
    Installation Utility.

3.  Workstation configuration using ODINSUP.SYS.  Complete copies  of  working
    CONFIG.SYS, PROTOCOL.INI, and NET.CFG files will be presented.

4.  Workstation  configuration  using  LANSUP.SYS.    Again, copies of working
    CONFIG.SYS, PROTOCOL.INI, and NET.CFG files will be shown.

In the particular configurations  that  follow,  Extended  Services  v1.0  was
installed  and operational prior to installation of all of the requester code.
This is not necessary but was done  only  to  demonstrate  that  not  only  is
coexistence of the two LAN Requesters possible, but that Extended Services can
also  be  installed in this scenario.  Another assumption that is made in this
document is that the installation uses token-ring.

One last  assumption  is  that  the  NetWare  Utilities  for  OS/2  have  been
previously installed on at least one server within you network.

SECTION 1:  OS/2 LAN REQUESTER INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

Note: If you are familiar with the installation of the IBM OS/2 LAN Requester,
you can perform the installation as you normally would and skip to section 2.

1.  Boot OS/2 v2.0 on a workstation.

2.  Install the IBM OS/2 LAN Requester.

       A.  Insert Requester Diskette 1.
       B.  Type the installation command:
                  A:LANINST
       C.  Select Advanced on the Installation/Configuration Window.
       D.  Select OK to install or configure this workstation.
       E.  Choose the disk drive to install LAN Requester on.  D:
           will be used within this document.
       F.  Select OK to accept the default of Install or Remove a
           component.
       G.  Browse through the list of components.  Note the ones that
           are selected by default and the ones that are required.
           Select OK to continue and accept the default components.
       H.  Choose Configure a Component and select  OK to continue.
       I.  Select the first component (Requester) and then click the
           Configure... button to continue.
              1.  Enter your machine name.  Example:  TESTER
              2.  Enter the domain name.  Example:  DOMAIN20
              3.  Answer yes to the question "Start the Requester
                  Automatically?".
              4.  Select the various components you want to start.
                  The default components are all that are necessary.
       J.  Select to configure LAN Adapter and Protocol Support next.
              1.  Add Token-Ring Adapter support.  This is necessary
                  only if Extended Services has not been previously
                  installed.
              2.  Add IEEE 802.2 support.  This is not needed by
                  either the IBM LAN Requester or the NetWare
                  Requester.  It is necessary only to load drivers
                  that are required by Extended Services.
              3.  Add NETBIOS support.  This is required.
              4.  Edit the Token-Ring profile.  Configure this for
                  use with a LAA.  Example LAA:  400001234567.
                  Select OK to continue.
       K.  When you have completed configuring components, you are
           ready to complete the installation.  On the configuration
           window, select OK.
       L.  On the Installation and Configuration window, select Apply
           the Changes.  Select OK and begin shuffling diskettes.

After  the  installation is complete, the system will automatically backup the
CONFIG.SYS file to the CONFIG.001 file.  You should now perform a shutdown  of
the  system,  reboot, and verify that the requester functions properly.  It is
suggested that you make a backup copy of the CONFIG.SYS and PROTOCOL.INI files
for future reference.  These files will be drastically changed by the steps in
section 3 of this document.

  SECTION 2:  NOVELL NETWARE REQUESTER FOR OS/2 INSTALLATION

       A.  Insert the NetWare Requester diskette in drive A:
       B.  Type the installation command:
             A:INSTALL
       C.  Select Install from the menu bar.
       D.  Select Requester on Workstation...
       E.  Choose the target directory to install files to.  The
           default of D:\NETWARE was used in this example.
       F.  Select to Edit the CONFIG.SYS and Copy files.
       G.  Select the appropriate Network Interface Card driver.
           Since a token-ring network is used in this case, the
           TOKEN.SYS driver should be selected if you choose to
           use the ODINSUP.SYS method.  However, if you choose the
           LANSUP.SYS method, simply choose the LANSUP.SYS driver.

  NOTE:  With the GA version of the requester that is currently available
         the device driver ROUTE.SYS is not automatically installed when
         you choose LANSUP.SYS.  If you select LANSUP.SYS as your driver,
         you will be required to manually modify the CONFIG.SYS file
         and add the ROUTE.SYS driver if you have the need to
         communicate across a source routing bridge.

       H.  Select SPX support for OS/2 sessions.  This is not
           necessary although it was chosen for this example.
       I.  Select NETBIOS Emulation *ONLY* if necessary.  In this
           scenario, do not select NETBIOS Emulation.  Novell's
           NETBIOS Emulation cannot run with IBM's Netbios.
       J.  Select NetWare support for DOS & Windows Applications
           only if needed.  This selection was chosen for this
           example although it is not necessary.
       K.  Select Remote Named Pipes Support only if needed.  This
           selection was not chosen in this example.
       L.  Click on the Save button.
       M.  Save the changes to CONFIG.SYS.  Select OK to accept the
           default backup file name.
       N.  Select copy to copy all drivers and files.
       O.  When the copy has completed, you will be asked if you want
           to install the Novell Installation/Configuration, Remote
           Printer support, and Tools to a folder on your desktop.
           This is not a required item.  During this example, this
           option was selected and the Novell object installed.

This completes the installation of the Novell NetWare Requester for OS/2.   Do
not  close  the NetWare Install Utility yet.  It will be used in the following
sections to create/edit the NET.CFG file.

At this point, it is time to configure the workstation for  proper  operation.
As  previously  mentioned  this can be done in one of two ways (ODINSUP.SYS or
LANSUP.SYS).  Perform one of the following sections  to  complete  workstation
configuration.

  SECTION 3:  WORKSTATION CONFIGURATION USING ODINSUP.SYS

  First create the NET.CFG file.  This is the NetWare Requester
  configuration file that holds various NetWare parameters.

       A.  Select Configuration from the NetWare Install Utility menu
           bar.
       B.  Select This Workstation.
       C.  Edit the NET.CFG file and choose to create if it does not
           already exist.
       D.  Place the following as a minimum in the NET.CFG file:

              NETWARE REQUESTER
                 PREFERRED server_name

              PROTOCOL ODINSUP
                 bind token

              LINK DRIVER TOKEN
                 frame token-ring

                 frame token-ring_snap
                 NODE ADDRESS 400001234567

  NOTE.  It is very important to have a blank line at the end of
  the NET.CFG file.  Without this blank line, the file will
  not be parsed correctly and errors will occur during
  boot up.  Also, for more information on the various
  NetWare parameters, highlight the parameter, and then use the
  Description and Example buttons for a brief explanation.

       E.  Edit the D:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI file to look like the
           following:

            .PROT_MAN+
            DriverName = PROTMAN$

            .IBMLXCFG+
            LANDD_nif = LANDD.NIF
            NETBEUI_nif = NETBEUI.nif

            ;*----------------------------------------------*
            ;*------------- PROTOCOL SECTION ---------------*
            ;*----------------------------------------------*

            .LANDD_nif+
            DriverName = LANDD$
            Bindings = TOKEN

            .NETBEUI_nif+
            DriverName = netbeui$
            Bindings =TOKEN

       F.  Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.  You will need to do some
           extensive work to this file.  There are a number of
           device driver statements that must be moved for this
           coexistence to work properly.

           Make sure that you REMark out or remove entirely the
           IBMTOK.SYS device driver.  In this instance, the
           NetWare ODINSUP.SYS driver will be used in place of
           IBMTOK.SYS.  The following is a complete CONFIG.SYS
           file.  Make sure that all of the network device drivers
           at the bottom of this file are in the order shown.

           Lines preceded by *** have been moved or changed from the
           default installation.

The  installation  and  configuration of a dual requester workstation is using
the ODINSUP.SYS device driver is now complete.    Shut  down  the  system  and
reboot.  You can now logon to both an OS/2 LAN Server and a NetWare server.

  SECTION 4:  WORKSTATION CONFIGURATION USING LANSUP.SYS

  This configuration is much easier than the previous one.  It is not
  necessary to edit the CONFIG.SYS or PROTOCOL.INI files when using
  the LANSUP.SYS device driver.

  All that you will be required to do after the installation program
  has copied files to your fixed disk is to create the NET.CFG file.
  NET.CFG is the configuration file that holds various NetWare parameters.

       A.  Select Configuration from the NetWare Install Utility menu
           bar.
       B.  Select This Workstation.
       C.  Edit the NET.CFG file and choose to create if it does not
           already exist.
       D.  Place the following as a minimum in the NET.CFG file:

              NETWARE REQUESTER
                 PREFERRED server_name

              LINK DRIVER LANSUP
                 frame token-ring
                 frame token-ring_snap
                 NODE ADDRESS 400001234567

  NOTE. It is very important to have a blank line at the end of
  the NET.CFG file.  Without this blank line, the file will
  not be parsed correctly and errors will occur during
  boot up.  Also, for more information on the various
  NetWare parameters, highlight the parameter, and then use
  the Description and Example buttons for a brief
  explanation.

  The use of LANSUP.SYS as your device driver requires that you
  specify a node address.

  The following is a working CONFIG.SYS showing the use of LANSUP.SYS.
  The only modification that was made to this CONFIG.SYS was to add the
  driver ROUTE.SYS since it is not automatically installed with this
  version of the requester.

I encountered the same problem and found this solution on the IBMOS2 forum
on CompuServ.  It seems the order of the 3270 and Token Ring cards causes the
problem.  By making sure the Token Ring card is in a lower level (slot) than
the 3270 (DFT) card, I eliminated my problem.

   EXAMPLE:  Before - Token Ring in slot 1, IBM 3270 card in slot 3.
             After  - Token Ring in slot 3, IBM 3270 card in slot 1.

Changing the order of the cards seems to make the difference.  Hope this
helps resolve your problem.

There is some problems with DOS 5 and RIPL from a Netware Server.
Netware has written a new package called RPLB.ZIP (has been out for
some time) and is written for IBM Token Ring and IBM Ethernet
(RIPL over Ethernet_802.2). This package solves all problems I had
with RIPL. The dokumentation says this is a Beta but I can't find
any problems with the package. There is also a new feature. In the
BOOTCONF.SYS you can specify up to ten different images to do RIPL
from so when you boot the computer you get a nice menu on the screen.

Coexist.txt

If you have an IBMLINK connection, there is a FLASH available that covers
that in detail.

There are two methods...   One uses the Novell ODI driver (TOKEN.SYS) and
you have to modify Config.Sys, NET.CFG, and Protocol.INI to get the NDIS
drivers to talk to the ODINSUP driver.   (If you do this, DON'T run ES reinst!!

The 2nd method we are using uses LANSUP.SYS to have Novell talk to the IBM
802.2 layer.  I don't know about performance, but the config is much cleaner.

Install ES, LS, TCP, etc normally
Install Novell ... Specify "TOKEN.SYS" as the device driver.  DON'T specify
 netbios if ES is providing it.
Edit CONFIG.SYS and change TOKEN.SYS to LANSUP.SYS
Make sure NET.CFG contains:
LINK DRIVER LANSUP
  frame token-ring
  frame token-ring_snap      <== notice the dash v.s. the underscore!!!
  NODE ADDRESS 1005A......    <=== MUST match your burned in MAC address

AND MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE A COUPLE BLANK LINES AT THE END.  Otherwise it will
not parse correctly.

Good Luck.

  Great append!  There is one thing that I would like to add that
will make things even eaiser for you and others who will be doing
this.  With the GA requester, the ability to actually choose LANSUP.SYS
as your driver during install was added.  To find it, just scroll down
a few lines in the "selcet LAN driver window".  This eliminates the
need to change the CONFIG.SYS file at all.

Subject: LANSUP method for Novell

One small caveat on having the Novell INSTALL program put up LANSUP.  (I
do not have GA Novell yet... but that's another story...  so this may not
still be true).  If you choose LANSUP.SYS right from the install program,
it might not add ROUTE.SYS.  In that case you have to edit config.sys to
ADD  DEVICE=c:¢netware¢ROUTE.SYS right after the LANSUP.SYS driver.  If
you don't use source routing, you can ignore this append.  If you do use
source routing (multiple rings, pc bridge or 8209 or ???) then you have
to include the ROUTE.SYS driver or things will not work.

Ref: Append at 16:35:39 on 92/08/06 GMT (by TBHIC at OS2CUST)

I finally (Today) received the GA Netware support (ordered 5/11), so I have
not yet had a chance to install it.

I had some trouble with the independant MDVM login but it might have been due
to beta.

TOKEN.SYS was a major problem (beta level) on our network.  As IBM support
explained it, any broadcast traffic on the ring that hits the token.sys driver
at a certain critical point during insertion into the ring resulted in a
halted system with a trap 000d.  Due to our bridged ethernet/token ring, and
some things we run, there is significant broadcast traffic, and I could get
a clean boot only 1 in 10 times with TOKEN.SYS.

I will have to try this again now that I finally have GA code for Novell.

After all this, still my biggest complaint with the ODINSUP is that using the
Comm Manager Advanced Config can wipe out protocol.ini, and reinst can wipe out
config.sys.  It is unacceptable to me to have to manually edit all of these
files only because Novell refuses to support NDIS directly.  I am sure
there are good reasons for each method, but an hour of fussing with these
files to make things work doesn't seem worth it to me.

If IBM is going to recommend ODINSUP, and especially if I loose map function
with LANSUP, then IBM should fix Comm Manager and Lan Server and TCP/IP and
LAPS to fully support ODINSUP, so that these products will not break each other
OR they should put pressure on Novell to fully support NDIS.  This half in half
stuff just doesn't cut it!

Subject: Network Folder on WPS

Subject: Network on WPS (Also on WPS forum)

I just installed the Novell version of Netware Requester.  Page 65
of the "Using the Operating System" manual states that if my system is
connected to a LAN, then I should have a network folder on my desktop.
That folder should contain server objects which in turn contains other network
objects representing network resources.  I also think I remember a
demonstration of OS/2 where there were two folders on the desktop, one
was a Novell server and the other an OS/2 LAN Server.  The person doing
the demo mentioned "drive-letterless" network access and "lptless" network
printer access.

I don't have any of the above on my desktop.  I have a Novell folder with
three objects in it, install, remote printer, and netware tools.  The
netware tools are nice, but they are not what I was looking for.  I can
log in to the network and map netware directories to drive letters and
netware printers to lpt ports, but that is not the way I thought it was
supposed to work.

Since I have written this, I have had an opportunity to do a couple more
installs.  I was using the ODINSUP method of running the requester code.
(What a pain!, but that's a different story.)  I tried using the LANSUP
drivers on subsequent installs and, behold, I get a network folder in addition
to the previously mentioned Novell folder (as well as a much easier install
process).

So now, my question is that in addition to the pain and suffering you get by
trying to use the "recommended" ODINSUP drivers, do you get cheated out of
the network folder as well?

Ref:     Append at 12:21:42 on 92/08/07 GMT (by SUPKWILL at DETVMIC5)

     I've been unable to get the combination of Netware Requester and
LAN Network Manager to work properly.  Support's position is that no
testing has been done with Novell's drivers, and as such they can't
be sure one way or another whether it'll work.

     LANSUP apparently conflicts at a low level with LAN Network
Manager and won't allow it to open the adapter at all.  I tinkered
with as many settings as I could, but couldn't get the adapterto
open for LAN NM.  ODINSUP will allow the adapter to open for both
services, but I discards a large number of frames and LAN NM has
trouble seeing the other stations around the network.  This doesn't
appear to affect the Netware requester except in performance, but
as far as LAN NM is concerned, stations that are obviously up appear
down, and the actual adapter LAN NM is opened through shows up as
'status unknown'.  It's clear there's some kind of interference going
on between the two services.

     If anyone does get this combination to work, append your secret
or PROFS me, I'd be interested in knowing what you did.

1) The reason that you have problems running LNM with ODINSUP is that
   IBM has extensions to NDIS that LNM uses.   Novell did not
   implement those extensions in their ODINSUP release

2) LNM will not work with LANSUP because of the 802.2 problem with
   board ownership

Subject: Problems installing the Netware Server Utility,

I am totally confused about the Netware Services for OS2 code. I
originally received 3 diskettes with the  package, the Requestor,
Utils-1 and Utils-2. I was able to use the workstation install
fine, but when I tried to install the server utilies I would get
a message 'Not enough rights on this server' when I tried to attach
as Supervisor. I tried to login and/or attach as supervisor before
running the utility several times also, with the same results.

There were many questions on ASKQ and in the Novell forums concerning
this idenical problem, and I never saw a clean response. The most
consistent anwser was to work around the problem and copy the files
to the server using NWUNPACK. This dosen't explain why the install
to the server utility would not work. How do I get it to work?

Since I could not resolve my problem by research, I decided to down
load  the requestor code again. I downloaded the NWSA package since
I could not find NWWKa anymore, to see if the code I had was bad..
Now I get 7 diskettes, the Requestor, Utils-1, Utils-2, and
Install1-4. The documentation, I have only refenerces the 3 diskette
package. Is there a new documentation to support the 7 diskette
package? And if not how do I use these 7 diskettes? Also which
is the correct package to use?

Thanks for your help in advance.

RE: Lan Network Manager and 802.2 or ODINSUP

Is there going to be a version of LNM that will coexist with other products?
With Version 2.0?

We would very much like to have the following config, and are holding off on
ordering LNM until it appears that things will work under 2.0.  Last we heard,
LNM was not supported at all under 2.0.
  OS/2 2.0
    TCP/IP 1.2.1 with NFS server, NAMED name server, and SLIP
    Novell Netware Requester (very infrequent use)
    Commm Manager 3270 (infrequent use)
    Lan Server Entry (minimal use)
    Pro-Tools Foundation Manager (infrequent use)
    Lan Network Manager
The actual production tools would be the Name Server and Lan Net Manger.  The
others would be there for sporadic network support.

Performance issues aside, is there any hope at coexistance, or does LNM
preclude the other things from running.

Subject: OS 2.0, ES, LS, ODINSUP all at once on TOKEN.SYS

It seems like a lot of people have had a lot of problems with TOKEN.SYS
and ODINSUP. I am no exception. After two weeks of trying to get my
2.0 requester working, I finally got it, and since I didn't see the
answer in this forum, I thought I'd share my solution. The key is in the
NET.CFG file. Here is the resulting successful installation procedure:

1. Install ES and LS under OS/2 2.0, configure as desired.
2. Install Netware Requester. Do not select NetBios support.
3. Edit CONFIG.SYS
   a. add 'DEVICE=path\ODINSUP.SYS" in the config file AFTER the
      protocol mgr drivers (\protman\*) but BEFORE the IBMLAN
      NETWKSTA.200 device driver
   b. comment out the IBM NDIS token-ring driver, IBMTOK.OS2
      Here is the relevant portion of CONFIG.SYS:

4. Create/edit NET.CFG:
   a. I create the NET.CFG as described in the documentation.
   b. I added the line 'protocol ipx e0 token-ring' to force
      IPX to use token-ring frames. I belive this is necessary since
      ODINSUP requires token-ring and token-ring_snap fram types. Since
      the token driver supports only two frame types, and the default
      IPX frame type is Ethernet, IPX needs to be told to use an
      available frame type (token-ring or token-ring_snap).
   c. As mentioned elsewhere in this forum the frame types are
      'token-ring' with a hyphen, and 'token-ring_snap' with a hyphen
      and an underscore (VERY IMPORTANT). I also found that the TRAP D
      error with the TOKEN.SYS driver is greatly minimized by the order
      of the frame statements in NET.CFG. I define the SNAP frame first,
      then the normal token-ring, and it usually boots fine. Reverse
      them, and I trap every time. Here is my NET.CFG:

LINK DRIVER TOKEN
    protocol ipx e0 token-ring
    frame token-ring_snap
    frame token-ring
PROTOCOL ODINSUP
   Bind Token
LINK SUPPORT
    buffers 14 4210

5. Modify PROTOCOL.INI as discussed in this append and the documentation.

Reboot and enjoy!

If a modification is made in "LAN Adapter and Protocol Support",
(or at least a save is done, making CM thing a change was made),
then Comm Mgr re-writes PROTOCOL.INI and CONFIG.SYS - causing message
ACS0111W, and the 3270 sessions receive a COMM695.

Has anyone else encountered Comm Mgr incorrectly modifying a

backup your PROTOCOL.INI and CONFIG.SYS files first!

I should have mentioned that the Novell documentation states that you
should re-install the Requester ("edit CONFIG.SYS only" option) whenver
the IBM products are modified. So that means if you change the PROTOCOL

Richard,
With Netware, you don't have dial-in/out access to modems connected to the File
Server.  Novell has the NACS (Netware Asynch Comm Svr) software which allows
LAN WS's to dial out to the dedicated(minimum I8086) NACS server using Comm SW
capable of communicating using NASI interface (ie.ProCommPlusLan,PCAnyWhereLan)
from the WS on LAN. If you want to dial-up to LAN, you need to set a WS on LAN
to be in receive mode and calling WS will remote control it. Processes are run
on LocalLan system. Requires a PC on LAN to be there sitting waiting for dialup
.  There are also products like Intel LANPort which perform NACS Server functio
n with two lines max.  NACS can handle up to 16 dial in/out ports.
Netware ACCESS Server (NAS) is a dial-in solution. This dedicated (min.I80386)
allows remote dial-in to LAN without the need for a partner WS on LAN to set to
slave.  Processes occur in this server as virtual session (up to 16) from this
one system.  This includes client dial-up software for DOS and MAC. It also
supports 30 some popular terminals or emulations.
A single WS on a LAN could be setup with a modem without the need for the NACS
or NAS.  We have all three situations at my location.
We use NACS for dial-out to modem pool (some dial-up).  We use NAS for
PC's and MACs dial-in LAN support.  And, a single 386 WS with modem running 4.0
CloseUP that allows Windows to be run with remote mouse control.  NAS won't do
Windows, let alone remote mouse control.  The NACS inbound access works, but
all KBD and Screen stuff goes across LAN, since it requires controlling another
PC on the LAN somewhere to control.
These are my experiences, I hope they are clear.  Good Luck.

   I have not tried this, but figure B-11 in the Netware Requester for

Having gone thru this today, some additional warnings (repeating some of the
earlier information):

1) NET.CFG needs the NODE ADDRESS xxxxxxxxxxxx (12 hex digits) parameter
ALWAYS if using LANSUP.SYS. If not using a locally administered address, you
need to specify the board address (starts 10005A...... for an IBM board). If
you DON'T do this, you get some combination of hangs in CONFIG.SYS,
the NWD0115 error, or "NET.CFG, Node Address is different from Adapters" error.
This NODE ADDRESS parm is idented under LINK DRIVER LANSUP in NET.CFG.
2) In Comm. Mgr configuration, item 6 (Lan Adapter and Protocol Support), if
you want to use a locally administered address, go into EDIT for the IBM Token
Ring adapter and for IEEE 802.2, and enter the 12 digit LAA in both places.
This shows up in \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI under the LANDD_nif and IBMTOK_nif
sections as the NETADDRESS="xxxxxxxxxxxx" parm. As in item 2, this address
would also be in NET.CFG.
3) Manually insert ROUTE.SYS after LANSUP.SYS, in CONFIG.SYS, for source
routing support.
4) Novell likes the TOKEN.SYS method better. They don't bother to document
the LANSUP.SYS method in the 2.0 requester manual. The best how-to reference
I know of is Flash 2129 on IBMLINK.
5) Which is better? (TOKEN.SYS or LANSUP.SYS) - good question!

  This is a really interesting situation.  The Novell Netware Requester for
OS/2 manual says this is possible, and starting on page 7-6, gives a couple
of methods of doing Netbios co-existance.  I was not able to get the Novell
Netbios to run using their method.  The line in the protocol.ini file,
 ADAPTER0 = IPXNB$,0,LM10,16,16,8
would cause syntax errors.  I commented this line out and put in:
 BINDINGS = NE2000
 ETHERAND_TYPE = "I"
 USEADDRREV = "YES"
 SESSIONS = 40
 NCBS = 85
 NAMES = 21
 SELECTORS = 5
 USEMAXDATAGRAM = "NO"
and so on (the standard entries from NETBEUI_nif section)

This got rid of my syntax errors in the protocol.ini file.  I aslo uncommented
the DEVICE=C:\NETWARE\NETBIOS.SYS  line in the Config.sys file and added
net2=ipxnb$,0,LM10,16,16,8 to my ibmlan.ini file.

My system starts up without error.  I think things are working but I am not
sure that they are.  I do know how to test to see if they work other than
trying to run Lotus Notes against a Netware Netbios server.

For anyone out there with some more knowlege of this issue:
  1. Does NBDAEMON.EXE to be run.  I am going on the assumption it does not.
  2. Does there need to be a "NETBIOS = " entry in the IBMXCFG section?
  3. Is there any quick way to tell if the Netware Netbios emulator is
     running?

One of the reasons that I suspect it might not be running is that my
lantran.log is identical to the lantran.log I had prior to making the above
changes. It mentions NETBEUI and IBM Netbios but not Novell Netbios.

One thing I have noticed with 2.0, is that if I have an error on the token
ring (like unplugging the lobe cable) and I loose the netware connection, I
must re-boot to get it back.   All of my TCP/IP and Comm Manager sessions
come right back when the network is restored, but Novell does not.  (I am using
the LANSUP driver)

Before anyone says I shouldn't unplug the lobe cable, let me explain.  I am
responsible for configuring our WAN routers, and it has required much
experimenting, etc.   If I add the delay of re-booting OS/2 every time I have
had to knock down the Novell connection for my private ring, things get very
time consuming indeed.

Is this a known problem or a reportable problem?   (If it is the requester in
the Blue box, will IBM support it?)

Oh... also if my timing is off and my PC boots before the router is advertising
a server, I get the 880F (?) unable to obtain a connection error, and I have
to re-boot OS/2 to get Novell access.

Thanks Laura,  The system comes up clean doing netbios co-existencewhen
I put "ADAPTER0 = IPXNB$,0,16,16,8" rather than "ADAPTER0 = IPXNB$,0,LM10,16,16
,8".  This correction also was noted in the readme file.  I took out all
the junk I borrowed from the NETBEUI_nif section and did the configuring
of the Netware Netbios in the net.cfg file.

I also noted therestriction of one Netware Netbios app per workstation.
This is not nice.  The Windows version of Lotus Notes dies when I have
Netbios co-existence set up in OS/2.  This happens when I try to access the
Notes server.  So apparently my one Netware netbios session is pre-empted
by OS/2 and no longer accesible from a DOS session.  I woun't hold my
breath, but I hope there will be some relief from this restriction in the
future.

Subject: Novell Netware GA v.s. Beta

Are there any reported bugs that anyone is aware of with the GA Novell
Requester?  Especially in printing and folders operations?  I am noticing some
behavior and wonder if it is working as written, or has to do with installing
over a Novell Beta requester?

1)  Dragging a printer onto the desktop seems to add it correctly however
    I have yet to get anything to print.  My only successful printing is
    from CAPTUREd print output.

2)  Deleting a printer from the desktop results in left-over printer
    entries in the INI files.  They show up in Describe, and other
    OS/2 apps, and have to be manually and painfully deleted from the
    INI files using the REXXUtil functions.

3)  My shadow folders from the servers (created under Beta) would not
    work.  I had to delete and re-create.

(I suppose I should read the manual a little more carefully<g>.  Is it
suggested that I re-make my desktop (Alt-F1) due to the beta requester?
(Please say no!)   By the way, I am using LANSUP as the comm driver.

Does the GA requester support the Packet Burst / Big Packet NLM for Netware
3.11?  My understanding is that this NLM ships with a replacement shell for
DOS workstations.  What do you have to do to support it on OS/2?

Does the OS/2 requester support the TCP/IP protocol for Netware if we were to
migrate our servers over to the Novell TCP/IP protocol?

Subject: GA vs Beta - What is Novell shipping?

We paid our $30 some months ago and were shipped what we thought was GA code.
When I printed out the readme and other .txt files, they looked very similar to
the beta code I got as a LAP participant, full of caveats about things that did
not work.  They were all dated 2-26-92, except for coexist.txt, which was
12-20-91.  During install of the requester, one of the helps read "NOTE to
NOVELL TECH REVIEWERS: Some of this NET.CFG help is not yet here, but it will
be for the general release."
   I called 1-800-update1, and the fellow I spoke to thaught we had backlevel
code, still Beta.  When our Novell group called to get the diskette replaced,
he was told that there hasn't been anything newer since we were shipped.
   I'm still suspicious.  Is this what everyone else is working with?  How
can I tell what level they shipped us?

I haven't tried OS/2 2.0 and the network folder yet, but under 1.3 we
put a copy of the server LOGIN subdirectory on the local hard disk.
We can then execute the LOGIN command and the requester will establish

Thanks...  The 2.0 level of Novell puts a LOGIN.EXE in the netware directory.
Once the connection to the servers is lost, either from a disruption to the
network after Novell is up and running, or a bad connection while the
system is booting, it seems that only a reboot will work.

I don't remember the exact message, but login.exe run from the local hard
drive reports that it is unable to get a default connection.

Subject: Another question

One thing I have noticed is that whenever I attempt to access a network
printer, I get 2 SYS pop-up messages stating that an unexpected network
error occurred.  No other details.

I just tried to open my "Network" folder and now it just sits there, never
"slashes" out to indicate it opened.  Directly opening Icon view, or the
details view seems to be totally ignored, so I can't report what the text
of the above error actually is.

My impression of the Novell requester is that it is really not yet ready for
prime time.   Many of the problems seen early on in the beta are still with
us.

Is there any official or semi-official person listening to this forum who
can provide any answers?

Larry,

<Is this what everyone else is working with?>

No.

The requester that I received on July 30 has a readme file dated 06/04/92.
The heading of the readme file is dated June 1992.

Most of the files in the requester are dated from March to June 1992 with
some of the Novell drivers and EXE's dated in 1991.

Also, the BETA requester flashed a yellow message indicating that it was
a BETA version when the system was starting up.

I hope this gives you something to compare against.  I don't know how to
check the requester level.

I don't know anything about this ELEP2...but since you're using different

at the interrupt setting of the token ring card to make sure it isn't the
same as the coax card (coax cards are usually at IRQ 2).

For troubleshooting, what I'd try would be to take the NET.CFG, PROTOCOL.INI
and CONFIG.SYS of another machine that does NOT have the problem and put them
on the problem machine (without change or with absolutely minimal changes if
necessary , eg directory locations). If it now works, then adjust the 3 files
line by line until you find why the old set fails. If it still fails, also
adjust the refernce diskette configuration to be identical, and if that still
fails, swap in another token ring board. If it still fails...I dunno, send more
 info. Any hardware uniqueness on this machine?

 HELP !!! HELP !!! HELP !!!                           (long append)

 I had posted this question to OS2TCPIP FORUM a couple of days back
 and have not received any help so far. It seems that for my problem
 NOVELL / NETWARE forums are better suited.

 Ok folks, I have a problem with NETWARE & AIXTERM and need some help.
 I have PS/2 model 80 with 10 MB RAM running OS/2 2.0.(GA).  I am
 connected to a NOVELL server using NETWARE requester (GA version) for
 OS/2 2.0 and I have TCPIP 1.2.1 installed on my machine.

 I am trying to run aixterm on my OS/2 desktop using OS2TCPIP.

1. I am able to do telnet and ftp from OS/2 full screen, but AIXTERM
   does not work.
2. If I disable NETWARE statements from config.sys and enable
   IBMTOK.OS2 in config.sys and related statements in IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI
   then everything works fine - telnet, ftp, AIXTERM.

 Here is what I am doing:
   I start PMX server, and then from OS/2 full-screen issue the command
       rexec host "aixterm -sb -ls -d m/c-ip-name:0 &"
   I answer prompts for userid and password, then a task id shows up
   switch to desktop, give focus to PMX server. Nothing happens.
   and after a few minutes the OS/2 full screen session shows:
       XIO: fatal IO error 73 (connection reset by peer) on
            X server "ip-name:0.0" after 3 requests (3 known processed)
            with 0 events remaining.
   All the while PMX Server 1.2 sits with the message "Ready for Clients".

 I am appending relevent parts of config files. If anybody out there
 knows the answer to my problem, please post here / send a e-mail.
 Any help is appreciated.

I experienced a similar problem with my OS/2 Lan server using Novell
requester.  Some of the 802.2 frames coming out of the server were
missing the frame padding.  I had an Intel Express 16 ethernet adapter
and my solution was to get an updated version of the Novel ODI driver.
After installing the new driver my 802.2 problems went away.

If the file server is located on the ethernet lan and the workstation is
on the token ring lan then you might have to remove route.sys.  This file
would only be used if token ring source routing bridges are used.  I had
a similar problem with my Netbios application not communicating across a
Novell bridge and removing route.sys corrected the problem.

Co-existance between Netware and 'true' Netbios can work.  I just got
Lotus Notes for OS/2 talking to a Notes server which is running Netware's
Netbios.  And my workstation is running the LS requester under OS/2 2.0
connected to a LS file server via 'true' Netbios.

The Novell "Netware Requester for OS/2" correctly states that the above is
possible, and to ensure that Netware's Netbios.sys is running.  The
changes it suggests to the protocol.ini and lanman.ini files are wrong.

I got this to run by putting the following in my Protocol.ini:

      ìNETBIOS┘
       DriverName = NETBIOS$
       Bindings = TOKEN
       ADAPTER0 = IPXNB$,0
       ADAPTER1 = NETBEUI$,1
and the following in my IBMLAN.ini:
       net1=IPXNB$,0,LM10,16,16,8
       net2=netbeui$,0,LM10, 64, 100, 21
I also had to change my wrknets statement:
       wrknets = net2

Try this and see how it works.  I got the information from Novell tech support
to get my pc up and running in this configuration.  It seems to have killed
by Netbios VDD's ability to run the DOS LAN Requester, but I might be able to
get that back up and running (NET466, name already exists on network).  The
error implies that I have run out of Netbios name resources.  But I think the
Netbios VDD is hooking into the wrong (NETWARE) Netbios.

I would like o hear from anyone else doing this.

My configuration uses the ODINSUP technique,  I don't know if the LANSUP
technique will work here or not.

I am also doing the same thing but try this as an experiment.  Don't
start the LAN requester and try to get your Notes application to work.
I find my OS/2 Netbios application will not run unless NET START REQ
is performed.  According to the documentation (Novel's) on page B-10
an OS/2 application should be able to make Netbios Submit calls without
having to go through NETWKSTA (page B-11).  This is not the case with my
application.  Therefore in order to have Netbios Submit support you are
required to install LAN Requester.  This is not necessarily good.

Thanks for the reply Ray.  I was able to get the requester up and
running. The culprit was the node address entry in the net.cfg file. The
adapter address of the Olicom TR adapter being used is 00008371E9E3.
For some reason when OS/2 was booting up and initializing, the adapter
address was being modified to 40008371E9E3. Do you know who could be
changing the '0000' to a '4000' (OS/2 or Novell Requester?), or does
the node address really should start with a '4000'?  Anyway, Ifound out
that the node address has been modified by watching and observing the
frame activities on our token ring network monitor.

I made the following change on net.cfg:
LINK DRIVER OCTOK16
     FRAME TOKEN-RING
     FRAME TOKEN-RING_SNAP
     NODE ADDRESS 40008371E9E3 <==== THIS USED TO BE 00008371E9E3

....Now on to the next project, which is to install the Novell requester

Don't shred it. If you use the icon , you are actually using the ATTACH
command and your login script is NOT executed. If you want to do this,
you can use the OS/2 prompt to manually 'Login Server¢User' and use the
NW Tools to save your config. Next time you upload it, it just ask for
your password, and maps¢captures properly.
This was a GREAT tool when I had to do some work on multiple 3.11 servers

let me try to clear this up. You have 2 login scripts- a dos login script and a
n os/2 login script. These are located in the mail dir on the novell server. Wh
en you login to a file server either in the config.sys or from the command line
you execute the os/2 login script. (if you open a private dos window and login
you will execute the dos login script). You can use nwtools to attach to differ
ent servers and then when everything looks good you can save your mappings to a
 "script" file then when you bring up nwtools you can select the script file to
 load. This lets you have many different setups- attach to different servers, h
ave different drive mappings, printers, etc. To complicate things more, you can
 even put a copy of the script file in your startup folder and if you have asso
ciated  *.nws files with the nwtools.exe program it will automatically start nw
tools and load the selected script. So you can have a dos login script an os2
login script and a nwtools script file each with different assignments. Each is
 an acceptable way to access the network and which one you use is a matter of p
ersonal preference. I have a netlogin.cmd file that lives in my startup folder
and it performs a login when I boot up in the morning. I hope this helps you ou
t. If you need more information just ask.

Thank you Gentlemen

Putting a copy of the script file in the startup folder and associating *.nws
files with the nwtools.exe program to auto start and load the settings had not
occurred to me. With all the options available for connecting to a Netware
server I still have on difficulty.

Given , the assumptions -

1)     A PM connection to the file servers is preferred.
2)     Users have a private area on the file server for storage.
3)     Central management of mapping / capturing is desired to
       facilitate smooth software upgrades and new printer attachments.

Using option 1 - Login from the OS/2 Command prompt -

1)     Interface non PM.

Using option 2 - Access the Login option from Network folder, Netware folder
    fileserver icon -

1)     This is not a LOGIN but an ATTACH. The Login script is not executed
       so central management of Map and Capture is lost.

2)     Multiple steps are required to gain access to the network resources.
       The "LOGIN"? does not establish drive mappings so this must be done
       as another step or a hard reference to the location of the network
       resource placed in an object settings. This causes a maintenance
       headache.

Option 3 - Use the NWTOOLS to load presaved settings.

1)     This is close but no cigar. The interface is PM, user setting could be
       saved on a network drive to aid in maintenance of drive mappings and
       printer connections. But... What of the private area on the file
       server for storage? This would require that each user would have
       their own nwtools setting file to map the private work area. Is there
       a method in saving the nwtools setting file where I can designate it
       to use the %login_name in a drive mapping I would prefer not to build a
       setting file for every user.
I must be making this harder than it is. The PM interfaced LOGIN would be so
nice to have but if I it creates a maintenance problem I will have to live in
the Character based world. The loading of nwtools from startup with a parm
looks so tempting. Does anyone have a way to use a generic settings file?

Joel,
from the'OS/2 LAN Server V3.0 LAN Support Program 1.3 User's Guide'
Document Number S96F-8436-00

 5.10  Network Adapter Address Configuration

To specify a locally administered address for an NDIS MAC driver that is
bound to DXMJ0MOD.SYS, the address must be configured in the MAC section
of the PROTOCOL.INI file.  This address must consist of 12 hexadecimal
digits.

For IEEE 802.5 NDIS MAC drivers, the valid address range is from
X'400000000000' to X'40007FFFFFFF'.  IBM recommends that the address be
restricted to decimal values.  The locally administered address would
range from X'400000000000' to X'400079999999'.

For IEEE 802.3 NDIS MAC drivers, DIX Version 2.0 NDIS MAC drivers, and DI
Version 2.0 + 802.3 NDIS MAC drivers the valid address range is
X'020000000000' to X'FEFFFFFFFFFF'.

The following table lists the NDIS MAC driver name and the keyword you
should add to the MAC section of the PROTOCOL.INI file in order to
configure the locally administered address.

for me it looks like if you select 802.5 level, this is the range.

There are LAAs (locally administered addresses) and UAAs (universally ...).
UAAs mean that you use the burned-in hardware address which for IBM boards
start 10005A... and for other vendors (olicom, madge,...) start with some
other fixed sequence. LAAs are 12 digit hex addresses that you choose
yourself. LAAs must be in the range 4000-7FFF (IBM used to say 4000-4FFF
but this has changed, there is an EQUAL item on this but I don't have the
number right now).

When configuring Netware OS/2 requester using the LANSUP driver to make use
of Extended Services 802.2 interface, you unfortunately have to put in NET.CFG
the 'node address' which is either the LAA or the UAA, whichever you are going
with. If ES has been configured (LAN Adapter and Protocol Support) to use
an LAA, then you need to specify that one. If not, use the UAA.

The address ranges for MAC addresses goes by the following scheme:

1)  Universal addresses (the burned in addresses) are made up of a 3 byte
    vendor code, and a 3 byte adapter number.  In theory they should
    guarantee unique numbers.

    IBM is 10005A

2)  Locally administered addresses have to start with "4000" hex, and
    this means they should never overlap with a burned in address.

3)  Token ring "group addresses" start with "8001" and "9000"

4)  Functional addresses start with "C000"

The actual scheme is documented quite well in an IBM Red Book "Local Area
Network Concepts and Products"  GG24-3178.

The Token-Ring Network Administrator's Guide is IBM manual GA27-3748 and page

can be in the range XX'4000 0000 0000' through XX'4000 7FFF FFFF'.  Please note
that these values differ from the values that were posted on an earlier append.

When we first began using LAA's, we would use adapter addresses that were tied
to a particular computer.  We ended up choosing LAA's in the form
4000 8550 xxxx for model 50's...and so on.  We didn't have any problems with
this until we installed our first bridge.  The bridge configuration program
wouldn't let us choose anything above 4000 3FFF FFFF.  It was then that we
decided to read the manuals!!  I strongly suggest that LAA's be chosen per this

You can use addresses above 4000 3FFF FFFF on a Token-Ring Bridge.  Just
edit the CONFIG.SYS after the intallation is complete.  The restriction
is in the installation program, not the execution of the bridge.  Read
on for the real restrictions.

The largest recommended LAA has been changed.  It used to be
4000 7FFF FFFF.  That was always a mistake, it should have been
4000 FFFF FFFF.  The new guideline is 7FFF FFFF FFFF, which is also
the largest possible, not just a guideline.  However you must be careful
when using addresses larger than the old guideline.

The original restriction to 4000 7FFF FFFF instead of 4000 FFFF FFFF
was due to an error in interpreting the definition of a frame.  The
upper bit of the third byte (x'7F') has special meaning (functional
address), but only when the destination has the first byte x'C0'
(group address), not when it is x'40' (individual address).  None the
less, there is software around, such as the bridge installation, which
enforce this restriction.

The limit of 4000 FFFF FFFF is slightly more real and requires some
caution when exceeded.  Some of the early Token-Ring cards or software,
I forget which, only looked at the last 4 bytes instead of all 6 for
locally administered addresses.  Therefore if you use addresses with the
first 2 bytes between 4001 and 7FFF, you must ensure that the last
4 bytes are still unique, or that you have none of the old offending
programs and/or cards.

There may also be other restrictions.  I ran for a while with
7FFF FFFF FFFF using OS/2 EE 1.3.  I had no problems with 3270 emulation,
LAN Requester or NetWare Requester when going to a NetWare 3.11 or 2.2
servers on PS/2s.  But this LAA would not work to a NetWare server under
AIX 3.2.

I've tried to read all of the appends about getting the Netware

without the novell requestor, but when the novell requestor is
installed the comm mgr 3270 sessions fail with the comm mgr saying
the adapter 00 dlc is unavailable.  I'm sure I am doing something

Ref: Append at 16:46:02 on 92/09/15 GMT (by PCBW022 at OS2CUST)

I'll second that request!

It would be very usefull if we could get updates to the Novell requester via
this BBS.  We bought the "Blue Box" requester with the assumption that OS/2
support would be better from IBM.

We have found that many parts of the Lan Aware WPS don't quite yet work with
Novell.  Could someone please share with us what should work?  If there is
a newer version of the requester I would very much like to get it!.

SO Far:

1) Drop file on printer in Network -> Netware -> Server -> printer object
   appears to be a black hole.

2) Drag file to a WPS file folder on a server results in hundreds and hundreds
   of empty objects.  (And try to open that folder again... hangs WPS)

3) Open settings of printer object on server gets SYS0059 - Unexpected network
error

4)  HPFS File names do not appear to be supported although a Novell rep
    has assured us that they are.  We asked our Novell support folks to load
    the OS/2 file NLM, but it did not seem to help, and the documentation is
    not all that great.

Are all of these things typical and to be expected with the 2.0 Novell
requester?

 I have a problem which I have been trying to solve for a week. I have OS/2 run
ning on a PS/2 mod 70 with 12mb of ram and 120mb of hard disk. This system is a
workstation on a token ring network. The file server runs NW ver 2.15. I have
installed the NWRequester and created a DOS (OS/2-DOS) full screen with the
following settings:
dos_files 255, dos_high on, dos_lastdrive e, dos_shell d:\os2\mdos\command.com
dos_umb on, netware_resources private and vipx_enable on. LPTDD.SYS is loaded
from config.sys and netx.com is loadedfrom autoexec.bat.
 I can login the file server and run all our dos apps without any problem, but
after I logout and return to the OS/2 desktop and try to shutdown the system
from the pop-up menu it does not shut the system down. I have taken the request
er off the system and the shutdown  works fine.

What am I doing wrong? It is very important that I get this fixed so that I
can continue testing OS/2 which will become our new base operating system.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Remote Server Login from NLM (NW 3.11)

I have an NLM which logs in to a remote server (LoginToFileServer())
as a user. I have noticed that MONITOR shows the Permanent Memory Pool
usage increase with each remote login to a new (not previously logged
into) server. I suspect this is because NetWare is allocating a new
entry in the File Server Table. Problem is, if the login fails (due
to incorrect UserID/password) the memory is always allocated, even if
the remote server has had login attempts to it already. This may not
seem like a big problem, but an NLM which does automated logins can chew
up memory **FAST** (ultimately bringing down the local server) if it is
trying to repeatedly login to a server incorrectly.

Has anyone heard anything about this apparent NetWare bug? I am not
(yet) a CompuServ subscriber, so I don't see the Novell bulletin boards..

Jamie --
I am currently using an IRMA/3 with CM and Netware.  If do not
see any error messages at OS/2 startup about any of your IRMA / CM or NETWARE drivers and you are able to start CM and connect to your host without the NETWARE drivers in your config sys, you should check for an interrup conflict between your IRMA/3 and ET
HERNET adapters.

Go to an OS/2 command line, switch to the directory you loaded your IRMA software and execute I3FIND -- this will show the IRQ level used by your IRMA adapter.  It will also tell you if your adapter is configured in "IBM ONLY" mode (a requirement).

From the IRMA subdirectory, execute I3DIAG.  This will tell you if the IRMA adapter is experiencing any errors.

Compare the interrupt and DP Ram addresses used by IRMA with the interrupt and base addresses used by your ETHERNET adapter.  This is probably the source of your problem.

Note that newer IRMA/3 adapters may have different name for the
"FIND" and "DIAGNOSE" utilities.

Lots of Luck with this one!

We had this same error on one of our Netware 3.11 servers that had
ton's of OS/2 requesters.  After swapping out ALL hardware, Novell
told us that a fix called EAERRFIX.NLM (Extended Attributes ERRor FIX)
just came out of Engineering.

We applied this fix about 2 weeks ago, so far everything looks good!
But it's still too early to tell yet, since our server would stay up
for 2-3 weeks at times before crashing with the "Invalid semaphore

Subject: Modifying Sessions, Names & Commands Values for Netbios

We have a pretty unique configuration we are trying.
We have a P/370 adapter installed on a model 95 acting as a server.
This adapter allows us to run VM on a PS/2 (with pretty good performance
I might add).  Using Comm Mgr, we are able to let users logon to this
server as regular VM users and run VM apps on the server.

Now the rub.  The documentation on this P/370 product states that we must
set the OS/2 NETBIOS sessions, command and names parameters to fairly
large values.  I can't find out how to set these parameters when we are
also using Netware Requester on the client machines.  (The server does not
use Netware requester).

If I go through the effort to disable the Netware Requester on the client
(by modifying CONFIG.SYS and PROTOCOL.INI) all is well.  The client is a
model 90 with 12M of RAM, 160M harddrive, XGA, ES, OS/2 LAN requester,
TCP/IP for OS/2 version 1.3.1 and Novell requester.

I am using Netware's ODINSUP to accomplish coexistence between the various
communications products.  Once again, how can I modify the needed parameters
so that the OS/2 NETBIOS application will work properly?

Yes. If you get NSD004 (from Novell, GO NOVLIB on compuserve), it has a
COEXIST.TXT which explains how to do this using Novell's ODI. Am not sure
if the NDIS-based method can be made to work with OS/2 1.3, perhaps with

There was also a Personal Systems Technical Journal article (spring 92 I
think) describing how to do this.

I'm not sure where I can find detailed information on using LANSUP to
make ES, LR, Novell Requester and TCP/IP all share the same token

I have tried changing the values of names, commands and sessions in the

For LANSUP, it's easier to configure than ODINSUP. For details, you can
look up Flash 2129 on IBMLINK (document id G010367), which has a section
describing it. You need to specify NET.CFG for Novell in a certain way
but PROTOCOL.INI should be picked up intact.

Subject: NSD201 and Source routing

NSD201, which came out recently, broke the source routing on my workstation.
Apparently, just having route.sys just after your token.sys in the config.sys
may no longer be enough.  I ended up putting the following in my net.cfg
file:
      Protocol Route
         source route board 1
         source route board 2

Also I found out that, if you have other boards, that you cannot source route
logical boards 5 & 6 (route ignores these entries).  So make sure your token.
ring driver is the first one listed in your config.sys.

Rick, are your database clients DOS, Windows or OS/2? If they are OS/2,
I know of a few people that tell me that they have this configuration
working. There is a description in the Novell OS/2 requester manual
(I don't have one so I don't know the page number) that tells you how to
configure Novell requester and ES 1.0 to coexist. I believe if you follow
these instructions for both database client and database server machines
you will be in business.

If your clients are DOS or Windows, make sure that you don't have
Novell's NetBIOS loaded (NETBIOS.EXE). It doesn't seem to like being in
the same machine as IBM's LAN Support Program V1.2 which provides
NetBIOS support for our database client code.

Last point; the requirement to use SPX/IPX for communication between
database clients and Database Manager server is a well understood
requirement.

Just to pass on more info about NSD201: on Compuserve NOVC LIB10 Novell
admits that NWTOOLS.EXE has problems doing an attach (I've seen this
problem myself), and that TOKEN.SYS has problems. They recommend installing
NSD201 but backing off NWTOOLS and TOKEN. Or don't install it at all.

And to join earlier complaints by others, why doesn't NWTOOLS generate
a LOGIN rather than an ATTACH, at least as an option? That way you can run
LOGIN.SCRIPT. Since it doesn't issue LOGIN, you're left with forcing a
non-PM character mode login by calling LOGIN.EXE during startup or from
CONFIG.SYS (although the latter has problems too - on XGA I don't even
see the prompts!).

I found the flash information on this forum.  It was added to this forum

with ES, LR and TCP/IP.  Using LANSUP, I was able to modify the
names, commands and sessions within my PROTOCOL.INI and I got my
NETBIOS application to work just great.

As usual, one answer begets more questions.
(1)  Why are there 2 ways to attain coexistence?
(2)  Why would I ever use ODNISUP instead of LANSUP?
(3)  Other than my unique situation with this NETBIOS application, why would
     I use LANSUP instead of ODNISUP?

ODINSUP VS LANSUP

Well, I use the ODINSUP method and am quite happy with it.  I do it for several
reasons:
      1. I had been using the LANSUP method in 1.3 and had problems with
         the system allowing IBM's TCP/IP 1.1 to work.  I had to use the
         TOKENEE.SYS driver, which apparently was being phased out in favor
         of the CMGRLAN.SYS driver (the one where TCP/IP would not work).
         This may have changed.
      2. I have a second NIC card which is an NE2000 compatible.  IBM does
         not ship a NDIS driver for this card and the Microsoft NDIS driver
         did not work.  (possibly because it is configured with INT 15)
      3. I had few problems getting the ODINSUP to work.
      4. Some of the Netware network management tools are reported to access
         the ODI drivers directly and may not work with NDIS drivers.
      5. LAPS breaks my setup anyway.  So might as well tinker and put in
         ODI drivers.
      6. I have had more problems with the NDIS drivers than the ODI.
      7. Both solutions apparently come from Novell and ODI is their baby.
         I see them supporting the ODINSUP method more enthusiastically.
      8. The non-dedicated version of Netware 4.0 for OS/2 may require ODI
          drivers, at least at first.
      9. The ODINSUP method does not require you to tell it the MAC address
         of the NIC cards.  The LANSUP method (at least in one of its
         OS/2 1.3 incarnations) may.

I have not looked at the LANSUP method for 2.0, so some of my concerns may be
out of date.  Please correct them if they are.

for advice from more experienced Netware users out there...

We are using a PS/2 Model 95-0LF with IBM's busmaster server token
ring adapter on a 4 MB token ring network.  The system has 32 MB of RAM
and a single 400 MB SCSI drive.  We will be adding an IBM 1 GB drive and
an additional SCSI controller at a later date.

Our clients will be a mix of OS/2 2.0, OS/2 1.3, and DOS 5.0 clients.

While researching Netware on IBMLINK and on Compuserve, I have read a
number of references to Netware bugs and patches that are available
for them.  Specific bugs that I've heard of relate to Netware printing
and also of problems supporting the Netware Management Map for OS/2.

This brings me to my three questions:

Are they any specific patches that I should install on my file server
to prevent seeing these (and other) bugs?  Where can I get these patches?

Are there any comprehensive fix diskettes for 3.11 that work in a
similar manner to the OS/2 Corrective Service Diskettes?

Where is the best place to go for Netware support?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, OS/2 1.3 can be used as a coexistence platform. You must have
OS/2 EE equivalent to CSD WR05015 or later.  I think it also requires
a Novell fix to the OS/2 requester.  It would be best to get the latest
NSD for it.  If you have the latest OS/2 SE 1.30.2 and the NDIS based

none of which had any congestion/problems at the time and get
intermittent failures.  At customer site, this can happen with
any of a number of requesters at random - no pattern has been
noticed.  This is a multi-media application.

Thank you,

Subject: Are ODI and LANSUP the only choices?

This is a basic question, I am new to Novell type networking.
From reading this forum, I see one can set up a workstaion with ODI type
drivers and LANSUP drivers.  If one is just setting up a workstation for
Novell (no IBM LAN Requester or ES) do one of the above methods have to be
used (ODI or LANSUP), or is there a non-ODI non-LANSUP configuration also?
With a requester with a token ring adapter, what is the default when
the Novell Requester software is installed?
Thanks in advance,

If you have neither IBM LAN Requester nor ES, you use a pure ODI setup
as supplied by Novell.  If you have one or both of the IBM products you
would use ODI MAC drivers with ODINSUP or NDIS MAC drivers with LANSUP.
These both add a translation layer of sorts between the incompatible
ODI and NDIS interface methods.

The best solution is the newest.  IBM recently announced the NTS/2
product which replaces the LAPS functions of LS 2.0 and ES 1.0.  NTS/2
uses NDIS MAC drivers as before, but has a new component called ODI2NDI.
It is not an additonal layer but integrated ODI support.

Subject: Netware Requester for OS/2 1.3 & Documentation
Ref:     Append at 15:24:59 on 92/10/27 GMT (by AMOON at WASVMIC1)

The documentation for the 1.3 requester is supplied with the NetWare 3.11
server.  Find whomever has the box of books which came with the server.
There have also been README files on all of the NSD diskettes.  Be sure
you have the NSDs and read the files.

It has been my experience that the 1.3 requester works very well.  Your
problems seem likely to be in the configuration unless the latest NSD,
which I have not tried, has a problem.  Since you only have a problem
when going through bridges, you may be trying to send larger frames than
the bridge is configured for.
