To keep the rest of the network functional, what I'd like to do is use the token ring connection only for TCP/IP, between what are currently two machines (a third will be added later), both running Warp 4. The two machines in question are this one, and a server machine, which is configured as a gateway for Internet access, currently using Dial-on-Demand modem access (no cable modem or DSL available here, unfortunately). Over ethernet, the server is 172.20.0.20, and this machine is 172.20.0.22. What I tried was making the server 172.20.0.30, and this machine 172.20.0.32, on the token ring interface. What I need to know is what I need to put in the way of routing to make sure that packets destined for the two token ring addresses, from the two machines, go over the token ring connection (as opposed to being routed over the ethernet connection, which defeats the entire experiment). I'd appreciate any information on this. - Mike Remove 'spambegone' to send e-mail. --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: TLF (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: klcroxen@fas.harvard.edu 22-Oct-99 20:01:14 To: All 23-Oct-99 04:42:02 Subj: Re: Any hints on how to link a Warp 3 desktop PC to an NT server.

You have two networks , but the addresses that you are using are all on the same network. What you need to do is use 172.20.1.x for your token ring network. Then, on the machine doing the routing, enable IP forwarding in the TCP/IP settings and make the default route point to the token ring card's ip address, if you use the TCP/IP settings notebook, it will create a net route automatically when you create the default route. Then on all the other machines on your network, make a default route to the ethernet IP address of the routing machine and you will be set. Oh, don't forget to add the domain and dns from your isp to all the machines. It's not very difficult.

I tried doing what I thought you were saying about, and it didn't work out very well at all. If you wouldn't mind spending a bit more time on my problem, here's what I have: Server - OS/2 Warp 4 Client 1 - OS/2 Warp 4 & Win95 Client 2 - Win95 Server: 10BaseT (TCP/IP, NetBIOS) Modem (Dial-up TCP/IP) Token Ring (TCP/IP) Client 1: 10BaseT (TCP/IP, NetBIOS) Token Ring (TCP/IP) Client 2: 10BaseT (TCP/IP, NetBIOS) From what you've said so far, I changed the token ring IP addresses for the server and first client to 172.20.1.20 and 172.20.1.22, respectively, whereas the ethernet IP addresses are 172.20.0.20 and 172.20.0.22, respectively. Currently, there are no routing table entries on the server machine, save for whatever InJoy puts in for the dial-up Internet connection. The first client has a default route pointing to 172.20.0.20, and a net route (for 172.20), pointing to the same IP. The second client just has 172.20.0.20 configured as the "gateway", and won't be using token ring anytime soon. I also won't lose any sleep over not having the routing working under Win95 on the first client. I don't know nearly as much about TCP/IP as I'd like, but isn't 172.20.0.20 a class B address? Doesn't that mean that changing the net would require changing the second octet? Either way, I'm still not sure what sort of routing I need. - Mike Remove 'spambegone' to send e-mail. --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: TLF (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: asuri@vpub.powernet.co.uk 22-Oct-99 14:40:10 To: All 23-Oct-99 14:34:07 Subj: Re: How to configure routing for two TCP/IP interfaces From: Adrian Suri This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------895E5F10401E9DB2CD1571D3 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi on a similar question, I have two machines links via ethernet, IP address 192.168.1.1 (my machines linked to the internet via modem 192.168.1.2 (my son's machine) I have been trying to get my son's machine to be able to see the net without luck question 1) do you need a program such as Ilink? or can OS/2 do it by itself, I get the impression not, the program only needs registering if you are using more than two machines?

Since you only have one valid IP address (the one assigned at dialup), you can't simply use what OS/2 has built-in. You need a gateway of some sort, of which there are a few to choose from. For almost unlimited functionality, you'll want an IP masquerader. When I had my cable modem, I used InJoy's gateway program. Now that I'm currently relegated to using a modem, I use InJoy with its IP masquerading abilities (you'll need to register at a non-basic level). [snip] The rest looks like a big mess. The only address your son's machine should have is 192.168.1.2. The routing table for it should look something like this: destination router netmask refcnt use flags snmp intrf metric default 198.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 3 792 UG 0 lan0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 0 0 UH 0 lo 198.168.1.0 198.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 0 0 U 0 lan0 198.168.1.1 198.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 7 6 UH 0 lan0 In the TCP/IP settings notebook, you can get the correct routing by clicking on Add, pressing D for Default in the type box, and plugging in your machine's address (with a metric of 1, and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0). For that to work, of course, you will need an IP masquerader like InJoy (which is the only dial-up masquerader I know of). You could get limited functionality by running a proxy program like IGate, but I've found performance with that route to be lacking. You could get better, but still limited functionality by using a SOCKS server, such as SOCKS5, available free from Sun (a reference version). If you do that, just configure your son's machine to use a SOCKS server, on the SOCKS page of the TCP/IP settings notebook. - Mike Remove 'spambegone' to send e-mail. --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: TLF (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: wsrue@ATTGlobal.net 24-Oct-99 01:09:27 To: All 24-Oct-99 05:23:24 Subj: Re: OS/2 v2.1 TCP?

I have hit a brick wall, and the programmer gives no support at all (not even reply to my email to tell me to sod off) now that I have registered. I have the routing working for a standard dial up (although I do get a route: program already exists error on boot up...) and I can get ISDNPM to dial up, connect and then sit like a bump on a log. But that is as far as I get. Is there anyone here that can give me a hand with the configuration?

Even though they provide NDIS drivers on their diskettes, they disavow all knowledge of OS2 and the card will blow up in your hand in 5 seconds. (little humor there) Really, they do have a caution about using cyrix 686 processors, but I'm not sure it was there when I first started my research. That said, I have been trying to get this combination to work for several weeks but to no avail. I will have to try another NIC and put this one away until I get a different processor/motherboard. The device driver states that it is installed at startup and I can ping the address that I have assigned the NIC from the PC, but am unable to communicate with anything outside the PC.

By default, bind will scan the interface list when you start it and periodically every hour. You can change this behaviour with the options "listen-on" and "interface-interval". Bind should listen on port 53 on all interfaces, including any virtual interfaces, as long as these options are left unchanged. I suggest that you enable debugging ("ndc trace" a few times) and see if you find anything suspicious in the resulting debug file (probably "%etc%\namedb\named.run"). I believe you should see the interface scan at debug level 4 or 5.

Is the dialer is being launched when you use the app (Modem) icons?? These icons start a program called LINKUP that uses the dialer to establish an internet connection. Try using the app (LAN) icons for the programs these ones just start the application without checking for a dial up link. You should have a default route statement pointing to 192.168.1.9 that will route all non-local IP address requests to your network modem.

From: "George Barrowcliff" I wrote some socket level TCP/IP communications software back in 92 that transferred data from an OS/2 v1.3 system to a vax system. As I upgraded new installations to 2.0 and 2.1, this software has continued to work since. Now I am upgrading all systems to Warp 4, I am getting an error. The TCP/IP stack works fine over both NIC cards, Token Ring and Ethernet with FTP and Telnet network wide. The server.sin_family =AF_INET The initial settings seem to work OK also sock_init() , socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM,0), gethostid(), gethostbyname(...), setsocketopt(ss,SOL_Socket, SO_Reuseaddr, ...) are all working correctly. The return value for setting the receive time out returns a -1 however, and the error code returned says 'Protocol not available'. Is this a red herring possibly and there is something else incompatable between the 16 bit socket software and the 32 bit Warp4 TCP/IP? I sure don't want to have to try to find a 32 bit C compiler just to recompile this program. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

It appears that sending larger chunks of data with a delay relieves the situation. Previously, I had a send buffer of 8196 bytes with no delay between sends. I increased the send buffer to 24576 and inserted a 1500 millisecond delay with dossleep between sends. Now I am getting full transfers. It appears that larger send buffers with delays between sends helps in poor server environments.

Have you tried different size files? Always the last 10% regardless of size? It sounds more like you are connecting using sockets. Are you using a TCP or UDP connection? TCP has a built-in flow control and error recovery. UDP is faster, but at the expense of flow control or error recovery. UDP simply sends the packet, no questions asked, no replies expected. This would be a problem at the receiving end if it could not transfer the data fast enough, or ran out of buffers; in both cases packets would be dropped. -- sma at rtd dot com Remove ".spam-not" for email --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: Sohnen-Moe Associates, Inc (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: David.Zuidema@sci.monash.edu.au 27-Oct-99 16:58:14 To: All 28-Oct-99 10:23:15 Subj: "INET not running" in winos2 From: David Zuidema Everytime I try to use tcpip apps in winos2 I get a winsock error INET NOT RUNNING.

Well, I think I found my problem. After my put routine, I was then sending a quit message to the server. Winsock appears to be more particular about getting all the proper send and receive messages than unix or os/2. I inserted a stream recv prior to the quit and I now get an end of file transfer message back. Then I send the quit and get the response. Without the recv to get the end of transfer message, winsock would abort the transfer. I have run a few tests, and so far, no lost bytes.

Here's some generic info that might help you: For OS/2 Warp v3: Here are the procedures to get Netscape (for Win) and other Win 16-bit net clients working in a WinOS/2 session. 1) In your autoexec.bat file, make sure there is a line that says: SET ETC=C:\TCPIP\DOS\ETC 2) In autoexec.bat file path statement, the line C:\TCPIP\DOS\BIN is first 3) Make sure there is NO other copy of WINSOCK.DLL in \WINDOWS or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM . If there are, move them or delete them. 4) in your TCPIP\DOS\ETC directory there is a file called 'resolv' that has the same info as in \TCPIP\ETC\RESOLV 5) In CONFIG.SYS there are lines stating: DEVICE=C:\TCPIP\BIN\VDOSTCP.VDD DEVICE=C:\TCPIP\BIN\VDOSTCP.SYS RUN=C:\TCPIP\BIN\VDOSCTL.EXE 6) In the session settings for the Windows app, under DOS DEVICES, you should see c:\tcpip\bin\vdostcp.sys 7) WINSOCK.DLL MUST reside in your x\TCPIP\DOS\ETC directory. This MUST be the version that is supplied with OS/2. If you are running Warp 3.0 (any version) you need a new WINSOCK.DLL file that was written specifically for Netscape 3.0 support in WinOS2. It's available from: http://www.cincyteamos2.org/masterupdate.html Download IC14468.EXE and run it. It's a self extracting file that will give you a new WINSOCK.DLL and a new VDOSTCP.VDD file, as well as instructions for installing them. For OS/2 Warp v4: 1) Follow steps 1, 2, and 3 listed above. 2)in your MPTN\ETC directory there is a file called 'resolv' that has the same info as in \TCPIP\DOS\ETC\RESOLV 3) Follow steps 5, 6, and 7 listed above. -- Klaatu barada nikto --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: Team OS/2 (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: nineveh@wwa.com 28-Oct-99 00:24:28 To: All 28-Oct-99 10:23:18 Subj: Netscape 4.61 failing on host lookup From: nineveh@wwa.com Suddenly Netscape 4.61 is failing on host lookup.

I've got a setup here where I have a full tower (known as "bigbox") which has dos, Win95B and Warp3 (with Connect networking added separately, and tcpip 4.21 shoehorned in on top) which is linked to a mini tower ("littlebox") with Aurora beta 1 on it. The interesting part is who's talking to whom; Warp 3 can talk to Aurora and the other way around, no questions asked. Printing? No problem. Modem share? Negative perspiration. However, while Win95B (given a registry tweak) can talk to Aurora, it cannot talk to littlebox's printer; and Aurora, while I may be able to log onto bigbox, cannot read its hard drives properly, either fat32 or fat16. Can Aurora log onto a Win95B system and read its drives? If so, how? Does the fat32 IFS need to be installed? Failing that, would Samba do the trick?

AFAIK this is not correct: multiple NDIS protocol drivers bind on top of the MAC driver (look at the "Bindings =" statements in your protocol.ini), in mine, Netbeui$, LANDD$, odi2ndi$, tcbbeui$and tcpip$ drivers all bind to the MAC driver. The protocol manager has a vector$ driver which is only used in multiple protocol environments where it sits on top of the MAC driver and transparently handles "fan-out" and "fan-in" of packets to and from the bound protocols above (which are offered packets and may say things like ("I'm not interested in this frame", "I'll have the frame, don't offer it to any other protocols" or, I'll have the frame, but offer it to other protocols). For a truly generic solution to packet monitoring you need to write an NDIS protocol driver that: 1) must be the first protocol bound to the MAC (so that it gets offered *all* frames), 2) can set the MAC driver into promiscuous mode, 3) that offers all received frames to other protocols, and 4) defines an API that your packet sniffing (or whatever) app will sit on.

The TR driver is a MAC driver, you want to write (a much simpler, but nevertheless tricky) NDIS protocol driver, and you need the 3COM/MS NDIS 2.1 specification.

Docu says it's possible to 'direct' interface and dlc interface. Direct you receive all packets and dlc you specify sap 802.2 adressess (type 1 & 2 connections). So it must be possible to build a ip layer on top of the direct interface bypassing ndis protocol filtering. There is even a device driver interface for writing device drivers (eg tcp/ip) on top and then your comms go through landd$. Curious what happens if you use this and tcbeui$, i don't wanna try, you hope: I'll have the frame, but offer it to other protocols. I also don't want to try to write a ndis device driver.

I have no background on networking in general and TCPIP in particular. I have just a dialup connection to my ISP and no network cards. I just want to connect to the internet, POP server etc. The problem: the system works fine after booting. I can dial my ISP and everything works. After a few days of running and dialing and disconnecting, One day the dial up suddenly can't find the DNS. The RESOLV file seems fine. A reboot corrects the problem. Normally netstat -a shows this: [E:\]netstat -a addr 128.8.22.108 interface 10 mask ffff0000 broadcast 128.8.3.102 addr 127.0.0.1 interface 0 mask ff000000 broadcast 127.0.0.1 but once this problem occurs netstat -a adds another line on top with IP address 0.0.0.0. (Sorry I don't have the exact line with me.) What is causing this? How can I correct it? The system: Warp 4 FP 12, TCPIP 4.0 with latest fixes from WarpUp CD. No network card. I am dialing with DOIP and the rexx script, PPPDial. Any help appreciated. Please respond by email as I don't follow this group regularly. Thanks.

NetBEUI over TCP/IP.(NET-2) 3 workstations, all OS/2 peer-to-peer, 1 Linux Samba server, NetBEUI over TCP/IP. When we switched NET-1 from NetBEUI to NetBEUI over TCP/IP (for access to the new Samba server), we encountered minor problems with StarOffice blowing up reading certain files from the Warp Server. Always one station could be found to load it and save it back, then no problems. Then we upgraded to FixPack-11 for Y2K. >>>MAJOR<<< StarOffice problems blowing up when loading files, or in many cases when going into settings menu (trace says GPF). Tried to get support from Star Division, but they were too busy selling out to Sun (we paid $500 for dealer status with support, boy did that evaporate). Bought StarOffice 5.1 (three days before it became free) - no help. Now Linux Care is providing StarOffice support. They said they would try, but they know OS/2 like the backside of the moon. Well, as an experiment, we upgraded TCP/IP and Peer on one machine. >>>That machine no longer autostarts its connections<<< (except to the Samba server). We have to "reconnect" them all by hand. No help for StarOffice. So, to try to get to the bottom of this, we installed FixPack-12, TCP/IP upgrade and Peer upgrade on two of the NET-2 machines. >>>No autostart of connections<<<.

The resources shared from the server always work fine. I ran into this with both IP8410 and IP8412. The only way to get it to work is to roll back to the IP8407 level. It affects both disk shares and printer shares. If you have a support agreement with IBM file a program defect and maybe they will have it fixed for the next fixpack. There have been a number of complaints concerning this problem in the USENET comp.os.os2.networking groups. It happens with both NETBIOS and NETBIOS over TCP/IP so it is not a protocol problem.

Yes you need to have "Peer" this is the set of software that provides for disk and print sharing on OS/2. There must be something causing the problem with "locked file update" as it is used by almost all OS/2 software updates. Peer is best installed when the OS is first installed as the release version on the CD has a problem if any of the config.sys lines are > 200 and something characters. > > 2) Can I use -or- do I *need* SafeFire or Injoy > Firewall to accomplish/meet my networks > objectives ??

The setup of the TCP/IP addressing for the use of NAT is fairly picky, but the documentation provided by the Injoy firewall has good examples and is easy to follow. > > 4) Other than the obvious, is there any reason > I'd be better off using OS/2 Warp over NT > Workstation or Server as a gateway?? OS/2 is more stable and less likely to have problems with "take over the machine and destroy it" attacks from others lurking on the internet. When you have NETBIOS and TCP/IP installed on Windows XX machines, the act of "sharing" the disk drive by default makes it available to ALL of the machines connected to the internet. In order to protect your machines and the data on them, the Windows XX machines should only be on "your" side of the firewall. You should also make sure that the disk sharing in Windows is only bound to the NETBIOS protocol not NETBIOS over TCP/IP (which is the default). > > 5) Why the heck couldn't I find any documentation > on the above :) > No Comment Lorne Sunley --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: MBnet Networking Inc.

It's technically possible to share drives & printers without using peer, but you won't like it, and you probably won't be able to make it work - lpr and nfs are the keywords to look for if you want to see what I mean. I'd correct your problem with peer and use that, if I were you. > >2) Can I use -or- do I *need* SafeFire or Injoy > Firewall to accomplish/meet my networks > objectives ?? Yes, on the gateway machine - the one with 2 network cards in it. I looked (briefly) at SafeFire, then ordered the Injoy SOHO edition. Being familiar with Injoy support from the dialer software, it was a no-brainer to stick with Injoy.

OS/2 is more secure and more robust. Take a look thru zdnet and dejanews for keywords "windows and security".

It seems that IP assignment in TCP/IP 4.1 is off the wall or named is/got broken. Example By default named is supposed to listen on all available interfaces but in my case it will only listen on the last assigned IP such that ifconfig lan0 207.167.13.1 netmask 255.255.255.248 named will only listen on 207.167.13.1 (so far correct) But if I alias another IP to lan0 ifconfig lan0 207.167.13.2 netmask 255.255.255.248 alias then named will only listen on IP 207.167.13.2 and ignore .1, and ifconfig lan0 207.167.13.3 netmask 255.255.255.248 alias then named will only listen on IP 207.167.13.3 and ignore .1, and .2 and so on for .4, and .5 even though I can connect to other daemons (ftp, telnet) using the previously assigned IPs. I hope this makes sense. It used to work fine for ages (at least a year) and all of sudden stopped.

I'm not following something here. I have Warp 4 and Win95 OSR2 on two separate machines which are connected by peer networking (OS/2 File & Print Sharing, and Win95 Network Neighborhood) through a hub. I use this mostly for printer sharing, but I recall that when I tested the file sharing, each machine showed the other's file, including long names, with no problems. I remember being surprised that MS would have allowed a feature like this. Maybe it's a "bug"... o----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Dr. Peter Gegenheimer | Vox: 785-864-3939 FAX: 785-864-5321 | | Department of | PGegen@UKans.nospam.edu | | Molecular Biosciences | http://rnaworld.bio.ukans.edu/ | | & Dept.
