Thanks for your detailed analysis.

Where can I email a report/complaint about this to IBM?

So presuming that IBM will do a fix on this at some point (it does seem
like a kind of basic capability for a server OS), how would one
hear about it?  I mean, where are fixes for WSeB likely to be announced?

Best wishes,

Tim

The fact that your gateway machine is always accessible means that things
can be done to it which will make everything else accessible. What InJoy
Firewall does is leave the key in the door when it is locked!

Take a look at http://www.lgs.kiev.ua/.
For the same $55 SafeFire Firewall is a real firewall without such a

If you want the banner generated by the machine you're logging into,
that won't be very suitable as it's the client end.

But the solution is simple. Look at TELNETD.CMD in \TCPIP\BIN; it's
the file executed on login....

Subj: Need help with TCP/IP Configuration

From: [e-mail]

Can anyone help me configure TCP/IP 4.1 for use as a "client" which
is connected in a Peer network to a Win95b "server" which has a cable
modem and Internet Gate on it?  I'm having particular difficulty getting the
"client" to access secure web sites in Netscape 4.61 Beta 2 and to Ftp.
In particular, the Socks Server, Hostname and Routing tabs are a mystery to
me.  Otherwise everything else works OK.
Particulars:
"Server" - Win95b - 2 NICS  - Internet Gate - Address 192.168.0.2
"Client" - Warp 4 - FP11 -  TCP/IP 4.1 - Address 192.168.0.1
Address of Provider:
IP Address: 24.7.223.2
Gateway:    24.7.223.1
Primary DNS: 24.2.212.12
Secondary DNS: 24.2.212.14
DNS Name: cg950645-a
Any help would be appreciated.

With the filter plugin installed and configured, I am able to block whatever
ports I want.
Currently I have 139 blocked to prevent NBTCP from going out, it works both on
the machine running Injoy and the other machines on my network. I confirmed
this by running security checks and portscans from the outside. There used to
be a site where you could get a free security scan of your site (more
comprehensive than a portscan) but like most things the guy decided to start
making money off of it.

I'm sure that the 16-bit driver model created in the 1980's makes this
difficult to implement.
Maybe with TCP/IP 4.1 this would be possible, but the average Joe isn't going
to pay for it (since IBM has decided to cut the consumer market off entirely,
we sure won't see it for free).

You really don't think it matters someone getting access to your firewall
machine? Someone suggested the firewall machine is simply a sacrificial
machine, that it fit gets busted it really doesn't matter. In as much as
it should not contain anything which can't be easily restored, that is
true. You cannot have security however if the thing providing security
isn't itself secure. Both InJoy Firewall and SafeFire have security
problems which seriously undermine them.

Both IJF and SF provide effective NAT translation. Both can filter packets
effectively (although I see no sign of stateful inspection in IJF despite
FX' claims). IJF however doesn't seem able to filter any packets from the
machine running the firewall, SF can, but only when it is running. Both
leave the door open when they're down.

> I'm sure that the 16-bit driver model created in the 1980's makes this

Whether a driver is written in 16, 32 64 or 8192 bit code has nothing to
do with leaving the door open when the firewall is down. There is a
problem in that both need to work with both dual-homed and single-homed
systems, however a simple parameter to the driver to tell it whether to
fail safe or not ought to overcome that by allowing those who want
failsafe behaviour to have it while still allowing single-homed systems to
work normally (anyone using a single-homed system isn't going to get a
heck of a lot of security anyway).

I think you may find Link Guard responds to these security concerns (BTW,
I'm not connected with either product in any way), at least they admit
they are valid. I find FX disinclined to listen to criticism of their
products, which is not a happy state of affairs when it is holes in a
security product which are being discussed.

Graham.

I know that the extra "net" route is not needed.

What is your "net" route pointing to. You can delete the
line in setup.cmd or delete it from the TCPCFG notebook.

Some people have had better luck with the DSL->NIC
configurations when they have installed all the fixpacks
for MPTS or upgraded to the WR8610 refresh which
provides the 32 bit stack code. There is a fixpack for
WR8620 that is installed on top of WR8610.

SSH has been ported to OS/2. Check the usual OS/2 archives, of do a
search. As I recall, there is a version 1.2 and a 2.0, but I think
only the 1.2 is really functional.

There is a problem report form somewhere in the IBM Software Support
WEB pages, but it has been serverl years since anyone has heard anything
back from these reports.

If you have a support contract with IBM, and you are mentioned in the
Fortune 500, you should have not problem reporting whatever you like.

There will certainly be a FIXPAK for WSEB, and it seems it will

The workaround to that is that you run cmd.exe on the server
machine. There's also some kind of a port of 1.2.27, but I understand
it's not perfect either.

   I have @home with a static IP, so it was actually more work
to configure than DHCP.

   Maybe my setup.cmd file can help:

route -fh
arp -f
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
ifconfig lan0 24.113.29.27 netmask 255.255.254.0
[my IP and netmask]
route add default 24.113.28.1 1
[my router (gateway) and metric]
route add net 24 24.113.28.1 1
[ibid]
ipgate off

>The 'network' tab has the interface enabled

   Summarising my "TCP/IP Configuration" settings for Connect:
provided parameters:
hostname
domain name
DNS (ip)
netmask
primary nameserver
secondary nameserver
router (gateway), metric is 1

page 1
    enable interface LAN0
    ip address 24.114.29.27 [my ip]
    subnet mask 255.255.254.0
page 2 (routing)
    default     24.113.28.1 [my router or gateway]
    net 24      24.113.28.1
    [both have metric 1]

    hostname cr534821-a
    local domain name crdva1.bc.wave.home.com
    nameserver addresses:
        24.113.53.13 [primary]
        24.113.53.14 [secondary]

   Note that nothing else is enabled or entered, that should be
all that you need.

Not actually tried it, but the readme says: "sshd is not quite ready yet, I've

it anyway. It is OK for serving files (as a scp daemon), however interactive
mode
doesn't really work (you have to press CTRL-J to finish a line)."

This doesn't sound too promising.

Subj: Java 1.18 Clobbers Netscape

From: "Casey Bralla" <[e-mail]>

I just upgraded my Java to the most recent 1.18.  Now Netscape is clobbered.
It cannot do a DNS lookup, complaining about no DNS entry.  If I type in an
IP address, it works just fine.   Running nslookup from an OS/2 Window works
fine too, so I know the DNS setup is still good.

I've tried re-installing Netscape 4.04, but no avail.

Anybody got any suggestions?

    How did you make this upgrade?  What version did you have before?

    I upgraded mine yesterday from the last build (may 99 I think) and
everything is working perfectly.

Subj: HELP--Configuring Local Server for IBM IC Phone

From: [e-mail] (Nobody)

Greetings,

    I have used IBM's ICPhone but now find that OS/2 users are somehow not able
to get on the server because the OS/2 program does not enable password
protection of the email address...or some other problem.
    The WinBarf version of ICPhone allows the user to specify NONE as the server
to connect with, and simply enter the ip address of the person you want to
call.
    I can use a Windows computer to call my OS/2 computer, no problem.
    The problem is, I can't use the OS/2 computer to call any other computer
because, when connected to the IBM Phone Server, it tells you that ipaddress
is no longer connected.  (Of course, it never was.)
    The SETUP dialogue allows you to choose a server.  Among the choices:

    ppc009 HRL local server

    Make ppc009 a loopback server and assign it 127.0.0.1 in the HOSTS file...
    ...it didn't work.

    If anyone has any ideas what an HRL local server is or how I can get the
program to accept that address, I would be very grateful.

Cheers,

Jim

So when running CMD on the server the SSHD works like the standard OS/2
telnetd except then
it is encrypted over the net. Is this correct? If so it is just what I'm
looking for.

From: [e-mail] (Jim Burke)

I didn't realize the windows version would still work that way.
ICPhone was the only cross-platform telephony program I ever ran across.
It was a good one too.

But I don't think a rumored upgrade to the os2 version ever got released.
The developers at haifa at ibm Israel didn't even have an os/2 machine.

Maybe this is an application os/2 users could pool buyers and purchase the
server software from ibm.
I'd pay $50 for it. Wonder how many it would take to interest Big Blue?

From: [e-mail] (Nobody)

    I posed that very question to IBM, tell us how to create a server, and got a
stock answer: IBM no longer supports the program.  But the server's still out
there!  Even if you connect properly, it will not reveal that you have logged
into the server to other users...therefore they can't call you.  But, weirdly,
you can use the Win95 version to call your OS/2 version via its IP Address.

Cheers,

Jim

Thanks Sergey,

I have downloaded and installed SafeFire Firewall 1.1b (after uninstalling
Injoy Firewall).  For me - the novice - SafeFire was easier to figure out,
and most importantly - it's a firewall !!

I did like the bell-n-whistle PM monitor that Injoy had, I hope this is
something you can include in a future release of SF.

Thanks again for your response,

Subj: Netbios over TCP/IP question - Using "Net View"

From: Tony Saucedo <[e-mail]>

Does anyone know if there are any limitations
on seeing workstations (OS/2) that are running
Netbios over TCP/IP?

Can you only see the workstations in the RCFNAMES.LST?

I've used Netbios over TCP/IP before and even now,
however we have a location that has 7 workstations,
2 of them are at a remote location using Netbios over
TCP/IP.
These two are not able to see the other workstations
on the network via "NET VIEW".  I believe one of these
workstations sees only 4 of the other 6.
The other workstation only sees itself. ?

Now from the main site location all 5 that are their can
see each other using "NET VIEW", which by the way they
are ALL on the same OS/2 domain (Warp Server 4).
But these same 5 cannot see the 2 workstations at the
remote location (LAN) via Netbios over TCP/IP?

We have edit 5 names in RFCNAMES.LST and the RFC broadcast
list, and they match up.

It seems like there's a limit on the number of names
that can be entered. Can this be bypassed by editing the
RFCNAMES.LST and RFCBCST.LST adding more that are out on
the net.

Any ideas or thoughts?
Thanks.

From: [e-mail] (Chad Dailey)

Tony--

Possible reasons for your problems:

PEER is not running on the remote workstations.

Directed broadcasting is not allowed by your routers.

[TCPBEUI_nif] settings are incorrect in PROTOCOL.INI

The number of names in the names file can be changed by adjusting the
NAMESFILE
parameter in the [TCPBEUI_nif] section in PROTOCOL.INI

Good luck,
Chad

    Open the Connections folder. Select Network->Network

I run NS2.02, and Comm4.04, and I updated to JAVA 1.1.8, when it first
came out. No problems. I just did the JAVA 1.1.8 update, with no
problems.

The DNS lookup sounds more like something in the dialer went AWOL.
Which dialer are you using? Most are supposed to update the DNS
address in the Netscape program, when the connection is made.

Hope this helps...

Subj: Reinstall LAN interface woes

From: [e-mail] (Colin Brace)

Hello all,

Last week my harddisk crashed and I am in the process of rebuilding my system.
but am having trouble getting the network component working again.

On a brandnew HD, I installed FP6 on top of the base Warp 4. Updated MTPS to
08610 and TCPIP to 4.02t.

Dialup via COM2: with In-Joy, the PPP dialer, works fine. The TCPIP stack
seems to be correctly set up.

But I can't seem to get a connection going now across my network card
(RTL8029). The DOS diagnostic program says the card is fine. Booting, OS/2,
the network card driver loads fine. But DHCP can't find the host. (I've
activated the interface in the TPCIP notebook and added the name of my ISP's
nameserver.)

I have a cable network connetion which worked flawlessly for more than a year
with more or less the same OS/2 configuration, but now I can't seem to get it
working again. Anyone have any suggestions?...

Yes. Assuming this is Warp 4, nslookup uses \mptn\etc\resolv2 (at
least on my system), while other commands, including ping, use
resolv in the same directory. Dialers (DOIP, InJoy) always update
resolv, but may not update resolv2. Clients get the DNS address
from one of these files. You might try a ping to separate the
Java/browser issue from the DNS problem. For example, ping
www.ibm.com.

Cheers,
Peter

From: Graham Norris <[e-mail]>

You need something to perform NAT. InJoy Firewall can do this, as can
LinkGuard's SafeFire. Note that InJoy Firewall isn't a firewall if you
only buy the basic version; that may not bother you.

Any machine connected to your OS/2 machine will need TCP/IP configured
as that is the lingua franca of the internet. InJoy Firewall and
SafeFire come with setup instruction, and both are available for free 30
day demo. NetBIOS has nothing to do with internet connectivity.

something else has happened. Try posting more details to just one

You will need a second Network Interface Card in your primary machine plus
a hub to interconnect the other pc's. Since I only have two machines on my
lan, a crossover cable can be used instead of the hub. More than two and
you need a hub.

You will also need Network Address Translation software (NAT). In my opinion,
Safefire is outstanding. I have been running it for months without one
trap, failure or problem..... rock solid software.

I have realaudio configured on my machine. As
soon as the player starts to receive the file, I
flashes a window that tells me that the file
is not a realaudio file. The transmission halts
from there. I think tcpip is ok because the
player does start to get the file.

Any thoughts of what might be going on.

The file is probably a G2 file and won't play with RealAudio 5 for Win 3.x

There's another possibility that I've found which confuses 16 bit realaudio.
If the file name does not conform to 8.3 specifications, realaudio won't
see it (a DOS limitation). So try saving the file locally with an 8.3 name
and try again.

Not true.  I've used RealAudio 5.0 on remote files whose names are
longer than 8.3.  The 8.3 limitation only applies locally.

PS:  Is there an easy way to save these files locally?  Many of them do
not have standard http:// or ftp:// URLs.

You don't actually have to have a 2nd NIC if you have a hub, you can
configure two interfaces on one NIC as explained in SafeFire's and InJoy
Firewall's documentation. If all you're after is NAT and aren't
particularly security concsious this is fine.

To do the job as securely as possible you do need 2 NICs to physically
separate the internal and external networks.

Sounds like you'll need an outside in approach. First convert the file

Subj: Good OS/2 Home Network Hardware

From: [e-mail]

I've been digging around for an hour or so, and found that SMC,
Linksys, or Kingston might be a good choice of NIC (OS/2 drivers
available), and there's a RealTEK 8029 chipset that has OS/2 drivers
(not sure about what manufacturers use that chipset, though).  Also
there's a way to hook up more than two computers without the use of a
hub, and that sounds cheap, er, I mean interesting.

My old reliable is OS/2 Warp.  I've got an Omnicube 2 port (KVM) to
switch between that and my new W98 machine, but I've got no way to move
files (yet!).  My wife has a W3.1/Warp3 dual boot machine that I want
to network-in also.  My work laptop has a 10/100 card in it, that, if
'easy', I'd network in.

So what kind of 'networking' can I get from OS/2 to Windows?  I figure
I'd always be able to FTP, but can I 'mount' the OS/2 drives on the
Windows system? My new hard drive is quite a bit bigger, so maybe I'll
just FTP the whole blasted thing!  But to make it interesting, I have
an HPFS partition on the OS/2 box.

Then we get into the hardware.  I've got some old token ring cards in
the OS/2 and the dual boot machines.  They'll come out to give me a
certain IRQ for the new ethernet board you will help me specify (ha!).
I don't need to spend lots of money on a smidge of extra speed, so the
'10' stuff looks fine.  So what should I get?  Can I get by with the
cards that you don't need a hub with, or should I just get the cards
and a hub?

I can't bear to unplug my OS/2 machine and put it in the attic!  Help
me pick-out a networking scheme.

Thanks.

The better approach for you sittuation is use Network Address Tranlation
(NAT).
Since you have only one public IP address (24.7.223.2) you will need private
ip
addresses running on you LAN (192.168.0.1).
I use this software :

                  WinRoute 4.0
    NAT, Firewall, Proxy server, Mail server

      Home Page: http://www.winroute.com/

You'll need to setup the server as a NAT server. On the OS/2 side you'll need
to
create/replace the default route (setup.cmd):

route add default 192.168.0.2 -hopcount 1

and change the resolv2 file like this:

You can install peer-to-peer services on the OS/2 box and share your
resources between OS/2 and Windoze. Or you can use TCP/IP only (this
is what I do). In order to 'mount' the OS/2 drives with TCP/IP, you
need an NFS server on OS/2 and an NFS client on Windoze (neither of
which is included in the base package).

You said your work laptop has a network adapter in it. If it's a
twisted-pair one, go for it with your other machines and buy yourself
an inexpensive hub (they don't cost an arm and a leg nowdays).

I have a small home LAN with OS/2, Linux and Windoze boxes and it
works fine. I'm using TCP/IP as the networking lingua franca.

Subj: Warp 4 New Install - Upgrade path to latest MPTS/TCPIP Level?

From: "David" <depaetz_no_spam_here@.mgl.ca>

Hello there,

I am in the process of purchasing a new system, and will be installing OS/2
Warp 4.  I am wondering what fixes are required to update the base system
to the latest level for MPTS/TCPIP.

This aspect of updating I find very confusing, and am not sure as to the
best way to proceed.  I do have the installation package for TCPIP v4.1
available to me.  In the fresh install, should I skip the installation ot
the network services, and then install TCPIP 4.1?  I would really
appreciate if someone could take the time to outline the best course of
action, to update to the latest versions of MPTS/TCPIP.

Replies by email appreciated.


Regards,

David

booting up it appears that I have to go to the DHCP Client
Monitor utility, click on 'configuration - lan0' it then shows
the lease is valid. At that time I can click on the java login
script provided by larkin\nuclearwinter. Funny, the latest
script shows it is trying to log on but when I start Netscape
Communicator 4.61 it works just fine. SHOULDN'T the DHCP lease
be automatic? DO I have to click on this screen every time? If
not normal what do I need to do to make it work more smoothly? I
await any and all responses. Thanks in advance for any help...

You shouldn't have to do that, unless DHCP isn't doing everything
correctly.

"Java" script? There was an RROS2 utility there that used EMX, but I've
never seen a java version. Hm.

Make an object of your logon ("RROS2.EXE"?) program with your
username/password parameters and put it in your Startup folder, so you
logon every time you reboot.

> Funny, the latest
> script shows it is trying to log on but when I start Netscape

That's good.

> SHOULDN'T the DHCP lease be automatic?

Yes. If your MPTSTART is properly configured.


> DO I have to click on this screen every time?

The only time you have to re-logon is when you've logged off a session, or
been off the network for more than an hour or two. (Or if the net or router
goes down, which happens during storms.)

> If not normal what do I need to do to make it work more smoothly?

Basically, just work with it for a while. A lot of things seem to configure
themselves, somehow. But I still keep a RROS2 shadow on my desktop in case
I have to manually log back in.

Good luck,

Buddy

From: [e-mail]

Thanks Domi.  Let's get into the sharing thing, if you don't mind.

Peer-to-peer services...  Where does one get that, and how much does it
cost?  With my OS/2 to OS/2 network over token ring, I was using Sam
Detweiler's small but highly functional sharing tool (the name of the
tool escapes me at the moment).  But as I recall, there was never (ever)
going to be a 'Windoze' based client!  Enter: peer to peer services?  Do
I remember correctly that this came with Warp 4?  Can it be added to
Warp 3?  Although I have a copy of Warp 4, I didn't want to upgrade this

3).

So, where does one get OS/2 peer to peer?  And will it go on Warp 3?

I really like the warpup CD from indelible blue.  20 bucks and it
