Dave, I've yet to be put on hold on this line - it's one of those
occasional pleasant surprises you run into.  You should be able to find
an email address somewhere to get to them.  I'll see what I have around.

As I noted a bit earlier in this thread, I updated my tcpip/mptn
version 4.02w by sequentially applying wr08610, un0980, and wr08620.

I can now reconfirm that it seems to fix the Netscape 4.61 "download"
problem.  Someone (Doug Bisset if I recall correctly) has previously
noted this.  I was able to ftp download a 13MB file that had always
failed before about 5MB before.  This fits in with the conjecture
that the Netscape problem was really a tcpip issue.

Thanks for posting the update.  That little utility for reading the
chkdsk.log is neat, but the information on finding it is buried in one
readme that is easily overlooked.  As I recall, the section of the
"service" pages containing this tool doesn't have the usual trail of
breadcrumbs.

When I examined my logs, I generally found only two entries, which I
recall as being: (1) start log; (2) end log.  This gave me the
confidence to delete the log file to keep it from gumming up file
managing programs.

I don't know about using the same spot on the disk, but I suspect that
the pointer to the file appears in a vulnerable place in the root
directory. I used GammaTech to explore my root partition: there are a
lot of entries in the root directory (including a lot of old config.*
that I should erase), but mainly individual subdirectories for
everything that needs to be on C:, so it is given a tree structure.
This makes it more complicated that the usual directory where you
would impose your own tree structure through subdirectories as soon as
it started to get large.  Since the chkdsk.log is newly created at
boot time, some of the housekeeping in that directory may have gone
awry.

OK, Clive.  I'll try my best.  First, did you follow
all those instructions in README.MPT?  They're simple
enough but I did have to sit there with my CONFIG.SYS
6 the README side by side for about 15 minutes the
first time before I was satisfied that I was
following the instructions.

And I will want to see those 2 files mentioned in my
earlier post, quoted above.

Where is DDFP1 in all this?  Remotely possible but
unlikely to be part of the problem.  Still, if you're
going to be up to date, you would want it.

I'm suspecting SETUP.CMD more & more.

        <<<snip>>>

I don't know that I can help with this.  I have not
encountered these symptoms.  It's possible that I may
be accidentally circumventing them by running with
the + signs on all my partition letters in the
IFS=HPFS & DISKCACHE statements in my CONFIG.SYS.
Also, as part of my STARTUP.CMD, I erase
NETSCAPE.!!!.  Most of the time, this file doesn't
exist so it gets an error.  Which is then safe to
ignore.  But the 1 time in 100 or 1000 that it's
there, I'm glad I erase it from STARTUP.CMD.  During
execution, Communicator creates a file named
NETSCAPE.!!! which it uses & updates.  Sort of like
the system's own OS2.INI & OS2SYS.INI.  When you
close the browser normally, it writes changes back
into NETSCAPE.INI then erases NETSCAPE.!!!.  This
file is in the PROGRAM subdirectory of the browser's
directory tree, wherever you have it.  If the browser
doesn't get a chance to shut down clean, it doesn't
get a chance to do this write-back.  On its next
startup, the browser finds the !!! file & starts
using it.  At least, this used to be true in some
release in the past.  I saw numerous weird side
effects, lost preferences & the like, until I twigged
to this.  Or somebody said something about it here in
Usenet, I forget now.  Don't know if it's relevant,
but it's what I do.

402w?

Let's see those 2 files first.

AGREED!  Let's see those 2 files before we move
either forward or backward.

All the hockey broadcasts can be found from
http://www.nhl.com/audio/radio/index.htm.  Don't just
click on the Real Audio links.  MB2 click on them &
do a Save As.  Then go edit the file.  You will find
2 lines:

pnm://blahblahblah
rtsp://stuffstuffstuff

The first one plays an annoying blurb encouraging you
to upgrade to G2.  The second one is the broadcast.

Cut/merge the 2 lines together into 1 like this.

pnm://stuffstuffstuff

Then play this file.  This sometimes works &
sometimes doesn't.  And when it doesn't, it sends CPU
to 100% while lots of stuff comes in over the modem
but you hear nothing.  Meanwhile, the Win-OS/2
seamless session for the Real Player refuses to
accept focus.  From the Window List, kill the task,
which involves replying YES to the Win-OS/2 prompt.
Try again at least 5 times before you give up.
Sometimes it eventually works after all.  Sometimes
it really is G2 & indeed you can't play it.  At
least, I assume it must be G2 when I absolutely can't
get it to play.  Also, sometimes, killing the RA
player leaves my world's worst sound card (SB16 ISA)
locked up in such a way that I have to reboot to
clear it.

But this is really the only one you need:

How about Ulti-Mail Lite?  Do you have that on your system, and
what works or doesn't work, besides the sendmail?

Also, what's wrong with the sendmail?

Do you have Ulti-Mail Lite on your system, and does it work OK

Subj: System TRAP w/NS 4.61 and JAVA

From: dcasey@ibm.net (Dan Casey)

After many months of trouble free operation, I find that I'm now having
problems with JAVA (1.1.7 and 1.1.8) and Netscape (4.61). Problem started
a week ago, while I was having a problem downloading files (via HTTP or
FTP) with both Netscape and Emtec's FTP Client. While attempting to solve
that problem, I upgraded my MPTS to WR08610 and TCP/IP to 4.02w. I've since
backed down to WR08424 on the MPTS, but I have a feeling I left behind
something from the WR08610 package.

Problem turned out to be ISP related, and I've since upgraded my connection
from ISDN to Cable Modem (Static IP address).

Sometime after either or both of these "updates" ... my system started
crashing when accessin a JAVA enabled site with Netscape. The Trap screen
is as follows (note: transcribed from written notes .. it didn't register
in the  popuplog).

I abandoned UML lite years ago, using PMMail which I highly 
recommend.  (Do a deja-news search to see if others are 
having problems.)

There is a fix for the sendmail problem.  I was hoping IBM 
would release a new fixpak superceding 8620 but i'll bet 
they are waiting for Y2k.  There are several fixes out there
that were written after 8620 was released.

HAPPY Y2k!!!

This is a current hot-topic.  Lotsa people have made the 
transition, a few have failed.  The odds seem to be about 
80-20.  If you are running high speed access it is worth the
gamble, otherwise why bother.  I am hopeful IBM will tighten
up the migration failure window in the successor to 8620.

Happy Y2k!!!

From: chdove@home.com (Clive Dove)

I want to express my appreciation for your offer of help and for 
the advice offered in this thread.

However, I have decided to put this upgrade aside for a little 
while until my frustration
level subsides and I have fully studied all the readme files on 
all the upgrade packs.

I have gone back to version 4.02w. To ensure that I have left no 
contaminants in the system, I
did a complete refomat of the C: drive and a complete re-install 
and upgrade to FP12 level
with Java 118 level and the December 1999 java upgrade.

I have copied the 2 files that you suggested (%ETC%\DHCPD.CFG and
 MPTN\BIN\SETUP.CMD) at the 4.02w level so that I will have a 
baseline when I come back to this problem.

At 4.02w level the only lines in the CFG file not commented out 
are as follows:

clientid MAC
interface lan0

The only lines in the CMD file not commented out are as follows:

route -fd
srp -f
dhcpstrt -i lan0

route add default 24.64.170.1  1
route add net 24  24.64.170.1 1

I don't use UltiMail Lite (only PMMail)

>Also, what's wrong with the sendmail?

Combination of sendmail from TCP/IP 4.0 (from Warp 4.0) and
32-bit TCP/IP stack (after 8610+8620) doesn't work. The daemon
is started but doesn't accep any calls (TRAP in TCPIP32.DLL)

SENDMAIL from TCP/IP 4.1 package works fine.

That is PRECISELY how I debugged some damage done at
some point by one of the batches of updates.

Take a look in MPTN\SAMPLES\ETC.  There's a
DHCPCD.CFG in there containing some lines beginning
with the word "option" down near the bottom.  I have
found on my office system, where I am running DHCP,
that I have to copy those lines into the live file in
MPTN\ETC.  At least, that used to be true.  Again, at
some point, the updates put those lines in the
MPTN\ETC file, thus obviating the former need to do
the copy manually.  Even at home, where I'm not
running DHCP & I've never even looked at DHCPCD.CFG
(until just now), the OPTION commands are in there.

Not sure about this.  Here's mine:

route -fh
arp -f
dhcpstrt -i lan0
ipgate off

According to the TCP/IP Command Reference online
manual there is no -d switch on the ROUTE command.
Also, with DHCP, it is my understanding that you
shouldn't need any ROUTE ADD commands for explicitly
defining any nodes as defaults, routers, gateways,
etc.  I thought one of the purposes of DHCP was to
allow you to avoid having any of that junk coded
explicitly in your SETUP.CMD.  The OPTION commands in
DHCPCD.CFG take care of exploring your LAN &
gathering that information at boot time.  That
information is provided automatically from the DHCP
server.  If this is not how it works, please,
somebody who knows for certain, please diabuse me of
my misconceptions......

At home, over the dialup, my SETUP.CMD is exactly the
same, except no dhcpstrt command.

Whenever you're ready to take the plunge again,
Clive, I'll be here.

Not true.  I did download it.

        <<<snip>>>

I was wrong there, too.  It does indeed update these
things as well as a lot of others.

I have installed UN_0980 over top of WR08620 at home
(dial-up connection).  I carefully inspected DIR
listings of every diskette in UN_0980 & compared all
the Last Update Dates/Times against files already in
my system.  UN_0980 updates all files except:

PPP.EXE, PPPKILL.EXE, PPPTERM.EXE, ROUTED.EXE,
SLIP.EXE, VDOSTCP.VDD

If you install UN_0980 without manual intervention,
it will backlevel these 6 files compared to WR08620.
Otherwise, UN_0980 is all newer than WR08620.  Why
IBM couldn't have set this thing up properly to just
include the WR08620 versions of these 6 files in
UN_0980 is beyond me.  It would have saved me about 6
hours of the most tedious work.

So I extracted files PPP.EX_, PPPKILL.EX_, etc from
my WR08620 diskettes (I actually did that one from
diskettes) & copied them to the FIX\TCP.1
subdirectory of my UN_0980 tree on my hard drive.  (I
ran LOADDSKF to create the diskette then XCOPYed the
diskette to my hard drive.)  I made sure these 6
packed files from WR08620 replaced the ones from
UN_0980.

Then I ran SERVICE.EXE to install UN_0980, rebooted,
& inspected some things even more closely.  I found
that 2 new files of the DOSBOX were not unpacked from
FIX\TCP.1:  VDEBUG.EXE (which I unpacked manually
directly into its proper destination) and VDOSCTL.EXE
(which required the extra step of booting to a
command line because there's a RUN statement for that
one in CONFIG.SYS).  These files were there as part
of UN_0980 but for some reason, they weren't
installed.  Similarly, I've noticed that NSLOOKUP.EX_
didn't get unpacked to MPTN\BIN.  I don't know.
Seems kind of shaky.  I'm going to keep my UN_0980
install tree handy for a while in case there's some
other things I've missed or that we find needs manual
installing.

Anyway, here I am.  Everything seems to be working
fine.  Dialing, TELNET, FTP (command line & FTPPM),
E-mail, web browsing, & Real Audio in a seamless
Win-OS/2 session all work fine.

Why did I bother?  The APARs listed several Y2000
fixes in things I use.  So I figured what the hey.

I don't understand any connection between these.  I use *ONLY* PMMail;
SENDMAIL is removed as well as Ultimail Lite.

Yes, as it is in my system.  I was responding to queries 
about problems at the 8620 maintenance level (32bit stack). 
It has been stated that sendmail is not quite right at 8620.

Happy Y2k!!

Ah, so desu ka.  That is what I got out of the ongoing thread; somehow I
stumbled into
an implication that there was any reason to keep SENDMAIL around after
exorcising UML!

with a few variations :

Intellistation Z Pro
WAS SMP FP42
Adaptec 2940UW

IBM DCAS 3 gig wide
Quantum 1 gig wide
IBM DDRS 4.5 gig wide

on a dirty reboot the DCAS and Quantum drives do a chkdsk fairly
quickly but after about a half hour I give up on the DDRS and reboot
from utility floppies. (I left it running all night once but it never did 
complete.) Chkdsk from the utility disks completes in a few minutes.  
It's been faster to just reboot from floppies than fix the problem so 
far, but something is definitely not right. Luckily, I don't think I've 
had a lockup/crash since applying fp 42. Hooray ! Thanks fp guys.

I have used every version of SENDMAIL there's been.
The one off the WARP 4 CD, every MPTS Refresh up to
WR08423 along with every stack update contemporaneous
with the MPTS Refreshes up to that point, the
SENDMAIL update dated July 21, 1997 in the
ps/products/tcpip/fixes tree at
service.boulder.ibm.com, WR08610, WR08620, and now
UN_0980.  It's never caused me a problem.

So when you say "there's something wrong with
SENDMAIL," you are overstating the case.  When you
say, "I'm having a problem I believe to be caused by
SENDMAIL," I can buy that.

What an utterly irrelevant statement, not to mention
false conclusion.  You have no idea why I use the
site.  So you shouldn't make such unsupportable jumps
of logic.  The DN news feed is complete, whereas my
ISP's is not.  Despite their overlarded weight of
advertising, I still manage to get their pages loaded
over a reprehensibly slow phone line in a reasonable
time, aided by taking full advantage of
Communicator's multiple instantiation capability.  So
the free market gave me a choice of using my ISP or
DN.  I chose.  That's the free market in operation.

Not to mention the free choice I made in my operating
system.........

Have you used sendmail from TCP/IP 4.0 as a server or simply
to send message via SMTP? There is a difference.

Fred,

Sorry for the delay, I tried Ultimail, I don't normally use it but it
still works almost as well as it ever did.

The only change, I think it's a change, is that it would not open
off-line, had to dial-up first, then it opened!

For the record, FP 12, Tcpip 4.1, 8610, 8620 in that order. I have
regressed to 8610 and then 8620 again, can't remember why but everything
seems to be working fine, except for the change in behavior of U-Mail.

Just to add fuel to the fire,

Sockets 6.2002
Afos2     6.2000
Afinet     6.2007

That last one came from "service" or "software" in a directory with a
long name like

"Version V4 and V4.1 update", sorry Alzheimers catching up fast,

Best regards,
Eric

Hi Eric-

I am getting the same "off-line" problems here, and things only work
right after the dial-up connection has been made.

As a matter of curiosity, do you use Advantis, or another independent
ISP?

Also, how do you set up the umail.pro and umailsrv.pro files--ie
do you delete the PROFILE: provider tag to eliminate the use of
tcpos2.ini?

And, have you done any special configuring with the tcpip settings notebook
so that when you choose "Connect to LAN" for your off-line work, your
machine is actually trying to do something with UML?

We probably won't ever get it working right without some help from IBM,
but I don't think I'll hold my breath for that.  It can be a surprise if it
comes.

That NSLOOKUP.EXE is for MPTS 5.4 (WR?86*10*) only! It's already fixed in

    Try disabling the print spooler subsystem - in System Setup, right click
on the spooler and disable it.

    This will print print jobs directly to the printer, byte by byte, and
won't use any disk space in the process.  It can be slower, and will
probably slow down your system during the printjob, but it should solve your
problem for this specific document.

Only the latter.  I don't know how to do the former
or why I would want to.  I would listen if you would
explain.  I've certainly never had any errors that
have pointed the finger at SENDMAIL.  I did have a
discussion about this here in Usenet a few years ago,
when I claimed, in my ignorance, that I was not using
the file at all.  But I moved it out of the path &
discovered that certain things would generate errors
saying SENDMAIL was missing.  I don't remember now
what they were.  But evidently it gets used when I
don't know it's getting used.

sendmail can act as an SMTP server, or simply
as a commandline utility to send messages via
SMPT protocol to the oher host.

If you have in your TCPSTART.CMD file line similar
to that:
===
sendmail -bd -odq -oc -q60s -CC:\MPTN\ETC\sendmail.cf
===
you have sendmail running all time as a personal server
that scans queue of outgoing messages from your mail
program (UltiMail Lite?) and takes care about their
delivering.

By changing config file you can use sendmail as a true
SMTP server for a mail domain that will:
1) Accept incoming messages and put them into user mailboxes
2) Accept calls from user's mail programs
3) Put user's outgoing mail to a queue
4) Deliver queued messages to destinations

In the second case I have found that sendmail traps
with accepting calls from user's mail programs if:
1) you have sendmail from TCP/IP 4.0
2) you have applied 8610+8620 MPTS fixpack

It's, probably, because you use sendmail for the first
manner, isn't it?

If you use UltiMail this file, probably, has name SENDMAIL.UML
Check your X:\cpip\bin\TCPSTART.CMD file (most tcpip servicec)
for the line containing sendmail.

TCP/IP Command Reference, which was pretty

exist.  That configuration file is obviously built

SENDMAIL.  Which explains why I've never seen any

Well, have you tried printing the document in parts? That is, print pages

Done.

Of note..  Ever since I've loaded IJB prior to and killed it post-load
of Netscape in the .CMD file that runs it, there have been ..

      no more SYS3175's in trying to open Netscape..

Thanks for your thoughts.  It would appear that they are related,
somehow to IJB's inability to give up some relationship with a
previously loaded instance of Netscape.  It may have something to do
with the sequencing of the thread processes and semaphores for each
application.  I'm not informed enough to tackle it, nor, at the moment,
do I have the time to take on yet more mess, Y2K being what it is, in my
little circles I go around.  :(

I have one of those in both TCPIP\BIN & TCPIP\DOS\BIN
& they are identical.  The relevant lines in there
are:

REM start sendmail -bd -q30m
REM echo     ..... SENDMAIL Started

So I'm not running the server form of SENDMAIL.  But
I already knew that.

Thanks Hans.  I got about 1/3 of the way through that
page before I reached my quota of "I don't get its."
It reinforces what I said earlier: I'm sticking to
E-mail client apps & not messing with SENDMAIL.

It's interesting that the documentation is filed
under documentation for AIX.  No mention of OS/2.
But then E-mail is supposed to be platform
independant, isn't it?  Otherwise, we couldn't
communicate, could we?  That's precisely what
standards are for, after all.

There is an entire book written about it!!!

Depends how much functionality you want. For basic SMTP and POP3 
clients and servers, look at mine. They are TINY and use minimal stuff
in the way of configuration. They don't have a load of features but

When you add a default route in the TCP/IP settings notebook, OS/2 creates
a net route for the network of the machine you're working on, since
dial-up TCP/IP software will change the default route to whatever the
gateway is when a connection is made.  The net route is there to preserve
LAN connectivity, should this occur.  If you don't ever use any software
which creates its own default route, you can safely remove the net route. 
And if the machine in question doesn't need to route any LAN traffic, you
can remove it regardless of whether or not a default route is created by
any dial-up programs (in which case the machine in question need not have
any routing entries).

Ohh...forgot to mention that I have a standalone PC without LAN.
So the dialer makes a "route add default xxxx", and every access to a

That sounds remarkably like a default TZ for a US product. Are you sure
you have a valid TZ at all?

Not surprising really, the TZ should read GMT0BST, the S in BST means
summer not standard, and BDT does not exist although BDST (British
Double Summer Time) did during the last world war and for a short time
in the late sixties as an experiment.

My own TZ is identical with the exception I pointed out and it works
just fine.

Hi all

My provider (cwcom) doesn't like my normal TZ variable:
    SET TZ=BST0BDT,3,-1,0,3600,10,-1,0,7200,3600
The problem only occurs during news sessions.

So for their sake I had the necessity to do something like this, in my <
mail.cmd>:


temp_tz = 'BST'

ReadOldEnv = setlocal()
TempTZ_Env = value('TZ',temp_tz,'OS2ENVIRONMENT')
SoupGate ' export'
RestoreOldEnv = endlocal()


Just a remark....

Happy New Year.!!

A Trap 000e is a Page fault. If it is not related to a specific 
program, it would indicate a possible machine failure. Most of the 
time, that failure would be caused by one of three things:

1) A piece of memory is going bad. Try removing the memory, and 
putting it back into the machine. There is a problem with contacts 
getting dirty, or corroded, over time, and doing a remove/replace of 
the memory will scrape the dirt, or corrosion, off of the contacts, 
and should get you another few years out of the machine.

2) The cache memory may have the same problems as main memory.

3) You may be getting interference from static electricity. This is, 
usually, caused by low humidity, plastic chairs, ungrounded power 
source, defective power bar (NEVER use a normal extension cord), 
carpets on the floor etc. If you are getting static shocks (generally,
in the area where the computer is), it is likely that this is your 
problem. Even a shock, that you can't even feel, can cause problems on
a computer. Try increasing the humidity in the area of the computer. 
You can also use an antistatic product (like women use to prevent 
static cling) to spray the area.

Hope this helps...

No, the additional route would only be made for the current network your
IP address plus subnet mask puts you on.  In your case, your IP address
was your entire network.

The extra entry is quite harmless, and you needn't worry about it.

I use os2 ns 461 at home and winnt ns 470 at work (not my

I've tried all the settings that I can think of and
nothing helps.
