- Peer Server error messages you might see.
- And how to share stuff on a Peer Server.
-
-
- At the Peer Server:
-
- Trying to share resources on the Peer Server:
-
- Doing it wrong:
- Before I logged on locally to the Peer server with a valid Admin ID:
-
- [D:\]net share ibm4019l /print
- NET2761: This command requires that you have administrator privilege or
- that you are a user who has been granted one of the following operator
- rights: PRINT,SERVER.
-
- To logon locally to the peer server:
- Go to that peer server sit down, put your soda
- aside and issue this command:
-
- [D:\]logon userid /p:password /v=local
- The user ID was not added as a message name. **
- The command completed successfully.
-
- **( The user ID was not added as a messenger name
- because someone else is also logged on the LAN
- with this ID USERID )
-
- If this is the first time you have logged on locally
- then the userid and password will be at default, which is
- USERID PASSWORD. Remember the Net.acc file on the peer server
- knows nothing about the Net.acc on your Domain Controller.
-
- After Logging on locally with a valid Admin ID:
-
- [D:\]net share ibm4019L /print
- ibm4019L was shared successfully.
-
- The IBM4019L was taken from the View page of the Settings
- folder for the printer I want to share. On the View page look
- at the Physical Name. That's what you include in the share
- command.
-
-
- Doing a Net share commmand for a file alias wrong:
-
- [D:\]net share util = d:\util
- The syntax of this command is:
-
- NET SHARE [netname]
- netname=device [password]
- [/COMM]
- [/USERS:number | /UNLIMITED]
- [/REMARK:text]
- [/PERMISSIONS:XRWCDA]
- netname [password]
- [/PRINT]
-
- ....................( bunch of more stuff )
-
- After taking out the spaces around the equal ( = ) sign :
-
- [D:\]net share util=d:\util
- util was shared successfully.
-
-
- Adding access control to your Peer resources:
- ( this only needs to be done if you are using User level
- Security on your Peer Server )
-
- Doing it wrong:
-
- [D:\]net access D:\UTIL /grant users:r
- NET2222: The resource name cannot be found.
-
- Doing it right:
-
-
- (1) First add the alias name:
-
- [D:\]net access D:\UTIL /ADD
- The command completed successfully.
-
- (1) Next grant the access control desired:
-
- [D:\]net access D:\UTIL /GRANT
- users:r The command completed successfully.

-
- From another Requester trying to use the resources shared on the Peer
- Server:
-
- Before adding the other user's ID (Joe Bob is wanting to do a
- Net Use )to the Peer Server's copy of the Net.acc file:
-
- [C:\]net use lpt8 \\rjameson\ibm4019l
- NET3502: OS/2 error 5 has occurred.
- SYS0005: Access is denied.
-
- After adding the user's ID to the Peer Server with the following
- command:
-
- [D:\]net user joebob joebob /add **
- The command completed successfully.
-
- ** ( Joe Bob has a hard time with passwords )
-
- Now Joe Bob does the Net Use over again:
-
- [C:\]net use lpt8 \\rjameson\ibm4019L
- The command completed successfully.
-
-
- Doing a Net Use for a file alias from another requester
- before adding the access control needed to the
- alias on the Peer Server:
-
- [C:\]net use f: \\rjameson\util
- The command completed successfully.
-
- [C:\]dir f:
-
- The volume label in drive F is D DRIVE.
- The Volume Serial Number is A4A6:0814
- Directory of F:\
-
- SYS0065: Network access is denied.
-
- (See "Adding access control to your Peer resources" above for
- instructions on how to add access control to an alias)
-
-
- Doing a Net Use with wrong alias name:
-
- [C:\]net use lpt7 \\rjameson\ibm4020
- NET3502: OS/2 error 67 has occurred.
- SYS0067: The network name cannot be found.
-
-
- Doing a Net Use from a second requester after first
- requester has done a Net Use to the Peer Server:
- (the first requester has the 1 session tied up with the
- Peer Server)
-
- [C:\]NET USE LPT1 \\RJAMESON\IBM4019L
- NET3502: OS/2 error 71 has occurred.
- SYS0071: The network request was not accepted.
-
-
- Doing a Net Use to a Share on a Peer Server using Share level Security:
-
- Using the incorrect alias password:
-
- [C:\]Net Use w: \\RJAMESON\UTIL junk
- NET3502: OS/2 error 86 has occured
- SYS0086: The specified network password is not correct.
-
- The password of junk was incorrect, after doing it with the
- correct password it worked okay.
-
-
-
- Notes:
- A Peer Server sharing a printer resource or file resource can only be
- used by one person and the owner** of that Peer Server ( as stated in the
- IBMLAN.INI file). So if it shares a printer and one (1) user on another
- requester does a Net Use to it then it is tied up. There are two (2) work
- arounds to this:
-
- (1) Instead of doing a Net Use to the alias just do a copy to the
- netname. For instance say I share my printer on my Peer Server with
- the following command:
- net share ibm4019l /print
- Then a user on another machine could do the following:
- Copy config.sys \\rjameson\ibm4020
- The session would be established, the job printed and then the
- session disconnected, ready for the next user.
-
- (2) On the Domain Controller (DC) or on one of the Additional Servers
- (AS) do a Net Use to that printer alias. Then turn around and share
- it. Note: This trick only works on a printer share.
-
- Remember the Peer Server does not have anything to do with the Domain.
- In other words a Peer Server does not have a Domain. PCLP ( DOS LAN
- Product available from IBM ) uses a concept similar to Peer Server. The
- Net.acc (The User database ) on the Peer server does not have access tothe
- user IDs and Passwords that are on the Domain Controller***. With the
- Share level of security one dooesn't need to worry about the user IDs,
- only the password for the item shared. So one can select how you setup
- the Peer Server. In the IBMLAN.INI file there is a section called : [peer]
- You can change the security from User to Share or visa versa. See below:
-
- [peer]
- ; I commented out the next line.
- ; security = User
- ; Then added the next line
- ; and stopped and restarted the requester.
- security = Share
- username = RJAMESON
-
-
- **The owner is the name listed as username, if you as an Admin are doing
- backups of the Peer Server from a Server you might have this as your
- Admin userid.
-
- *** Domain Controller is a machine with LAN Server 1.3/2.0/3.0 installed
- and setup thru Advanced Installation as the Domain Controller.
-
-
- There is a section in the new Redbook coming out about the Peer server.
- It's quite good.
-
- Hope this helps with any of your Peer questions.
