Still no go. . .

In all I use TCPCFG to set LAN0 to DHCP, turn IP forwarding on, and
run "routed" in the background, then add the following to SETUP.CMD (in this
order):

ifconfig lan0 n.n.99.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias
route add subnet n.n.99.0 n.n.99.2 0  
route add subnet n.n.60.0 n.n.99.2 0  

(where n.n is the network number)

After rebooting, I see from netstat -r that I have two routing paths:

n.n.60.0   n.n.60.66   255.255.255.0
n.n.99.0   n.n.99.2    255.255.255.0

When I use the route add command from a prompt to say, for example:

route add subnet n.n.60.0 n.n.99.2

or for that matter

route add subnet n.n.99.2 n.n.60.66

it says it cannot add the route because "entry exists."

I'm coming to the conclusion that OS/2 just can't do this for some reason.

I downloaded latest41.exe, but when I installed it (replaced some sys
files in MPTN/PROTOCOL) my system trapped at startup.

Subj: Re: Where do you put a hosts or lmosts file

From: Alon Stewart <abstewa@ibm.net>

That is not what the resolv files are for.  They are for name resolution in
the
domain.  The hosts file is where you want to put the IP's of servers or
workstations you want to attach to.  The TCP/IP configuration is the best
place
to add IP's because you need to check the box telling it to look through the
hosts file before looking for a name server.  Lookups will be faster.

Do you use ProcessCommander? I had some trouble after installing FP40 on Warp3 


that caused problems after some hours...after deinstalling PC everything 
worked okay again...

I don't understand. First you state the you use DHCP for LAN0, then you
assign a specific number to LAN0.

I am not sure, but you could try to add a route like:
route add host n.n.60.66 n.n.99.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

I my office I am using a OS/2 warp 3 PC to route between our local lan
and a separate Tokenring subnet. The OS/2 machine has an ethernet and a
tokenring adapter installed.
It works there perfectly. I must however check how the box is
configured.

Please send me a mail to remember me to check the configuration when I
am in. (will be wednesday).

Hi,

I am using W4, FP11, mts8420, peer 8412.  When I try to configure peer using 
tcpbeui the system hangs, during the next boot, when setting the IP address.
This happens with both ipconfig and dhcpcd.  I have included protocol.ini,
ibmlan.ini and the section of the config.sys added by mpts and peerinst.  I
have
tried everything I can think of...

When the box hangs its solid, no numlock keyboard resp, no trap, no trace,
just
a boat anchor untill reset is pressed.  Works great if TCPBEUI is not in the
picture, NETBEUI alone is ok too.

I really *would* like to be able to share files with the other boxes here.

What problems.  According to the "Network Adapters and Protocol 
Services Guide" (quoted below), if TCP/IP is installed, most of that 
file, including the part containing the IP address is ignored.



" The Sockets MPTS section contains the TCP/IP configuration
parameters.  When used, this section generates an  MPTCONFIG.INI file
with the values specified.  During MPTS installation/configuration (if
there is no IBM TCP/IP  product on the workstation), the values
specified in the Sockets MPTS section are used to generate the
SETUP.CMD file. 

The MPTS section contains several segments that are [CONTROL],
[IFCONFIG], [ROUTE], [DHCP], and [NETBIOS].  If  the workstation
currently has an IBM TCP/IP Base Kit product on it, only the [CONTROL]
section needs to be  specified (if required) to configure Local IPC
sockets, NetBIOS Sockets, or TCP/IP Sockets access.  If the 
Workstation does not have the IBM TCP/IP product on the system, a
complete Sockets MPTS section (with all  segments properly completed)
must be specified to enable TCP/IP sockets access. 

You can specify a valid MPTCONFG.INI file within the Sockets MPTS
section.  The information specified in this  section overwrites an
existing MPTCONFG.INI file.  To update a currently configured
MPTCONFG.INI file, use the  MPTS Update Section.  The Sockets MPTS
section should be placed after any NetBIOS sections."



As shown above, only the control part of the file is used when TCP/IP 
is installed.  The IP address is in the ipconfig section, and 
therefore ignored.

Since you have two subnets, I assume you're using an alias on one NIC 
or two NICS.  Either way, OS/2 sees them as two separate networks. 
You use the TCP/IP configuration, routing page to set up routing for 
each network.  You should have a DEFAULT route where you want off 
network traffic to go, and a NET route for each network (or in your 
case subnet).  If you don't have a second NET route, you can create 
one on that Routing page, by clicking on Add, and filling in the 
details.

Unfortunately one subnet uses dynamic addressing and one uses static
addressing. Both are on the same physical network.

I have tried this (with two lines, routing both ways). I believe the
routing entries are added successfully; I will check next time I am at
work (possibly before Monday.) But I still couldn't ping n.n.99.1 -- the
packets go out with source address n.n.60.66.

Thanks, but my problem is that I am trying to use two subnets on a single
interface.  As I say, Windows can do it, which is very annoying. . .

Yes, I am using an alias on a single NIC to take a static address on a
second subnet. The same NIC has already been provided with a dynamic
address on the first network. (Note that if I connect to the second
network alone and boot, it works fine.)

If I just add the alias after the dhcpstrt command, and do nothing else
(ie no routing under TCPCFG or in SETUP.CMD) then immediately after
boot, netstat -r shows two routes:

n.n.60.0  n.n.60.66  255.255.255.0 (for my dynamic address)
n.n.99.0  n..n.99.2  255.255.255.0  (for my static address)

As I understand it, that should mean if I ping n.n.99.1, the OS should
send the packet on the network n.n.99.0, presumably through the
appropriate adapter (in this case the appropriate alias on a single
adapter.) 

When I check the packet (through iptrace and ipformat) it gives
a destination n.n.99.1, but the source address is n.n.60.66. 

Am I missing something, or is this a limitation of OS/2?

resolv2:

Holds your domain and your nameservers.

hosts:

Holds IP addresses for certain hosts which you don't want to, or can't, go to
the nameservers.  For example, if a certain machine isn't IN the nameserver,
you can give it a nickname here.

In my home, I have a LAN but no nameserver.  So I use my ISP's nameserver for
anything outside of my LAN, and just put all my machines in one another's
hosts file.  Eventually I'll put a nameserver internally so I don't need to
do that anymore.

Subj: DHCP Problem

From: "Eric A. Erickson" <drowelf@nospamvnet.net>

My new notebook can not seem to receive the DHCP Offer from my Warp Server 
Advanced (TcpIp 4.1) Server. I can see the DHCP Server offering the address to
the client, but it never seems to accept it. I am running Warp 4 FP11 and
TcpIp V4.0 
with MPTS IP 8424 stack.  I know that DHCP is working properly since I can get 

a DHCP Served address when I'm at a client site. 

So how can I debug this problem?

From: "Larry Belan" <IHateSPAM@montypython.org>

Can anyone point me to the answer of what INETWAIT does?  It's called in the
\mptn\bin\mptstart.cmd file, and if there's an errorcode, it passes up the
setup.cmd which init's the lan interfaces.

I ask, since I'm trying to use my laptop with two networks (Ether pcmcia and
ISA  TR in a dock) and if I boot without the dock, the ethenet card never
starts.

The ethernet is lan0 and the TR is lan1.  I never use BOTH at the same time.

Thanks for any pointers!

I just installed Warp 4 and internet access via ISDN using isdnpm. When

Glad to have been of help!

Seriously, *I* had never heard[1] of that information on Frank's (?was it
he?) site before, and it got *me* going at work after one whole building
was switched to a different subnet: so I was pleased to pass on the info.

[1] Not strictly true: I'd read that "saga" of MIT about two years ago,
but didn't need those files with our network architecture at that time; I
was very pleased when someone else (article now expired here, so I cannot
credit him) posted the pointer to those pages, and I then went and reread
them.

Have you ever tried to look at IBM's developer connection web site?
You may find there an update for TOOLKIT 4.0 which conatins info you 
are looking for.
Another source - Aurora's TOOLKIT, but it requires higher level of

AFAIK. 
Anyway, if you meet any problems with getting required files, drop me

Subj: Problem with loopback and hostname

From: "Jeff Davis" <Jeff.davis.no@spam.ibm.net>

I have TCP 4.1 on my Warp 4 PC.  I am not LAN connected.  I installed DB2 and
it needs loopback for one of its services.  I configured this in the notebook
and the ping localhost works fine.  Unfortunately the HOSTNAME command
returns nothing whereas it needs to return the host name.  The set command is
there.  When I connect to the Internet the HOSTNAME command returns a value
slip129-37-170-156.pq.ca.ibm.net so it seems as if something is not exactly
kosher with my loopback setup.  Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Under "Host Names", do you have "This Computer's Host Name" set to something?
 Let's say it's "foo".  At the bottom, you'll see a "Hosts" tab.  Select it. 
Add 127.0.0.1 as localhost with an alias of "foo".

I think that'll do it, but I don't have a disconnected machine to try.

Subj: warp 4 and two net cards 

From: chadpaul@netexpress.net

Hello,

I am trying to install and configure two netcards.
I am using OS/2 v.4.

I have tried pci with isa, two pci and two isa. 
The last attempt I put two 3com 3c905 cards in.
one at irq 10 and 300h,  the other is at irq 12 and 380h.
WHile installing, the system only saw one card in the installation.
when it rebooted, it seemed to detect more than one card.

Is there a config file to edit and say what card is using what address and
irq?

IS anyone using two cards in a os/2 machine.

Has anyone ever tried using the Intel server dual port ethernet card or any of 
the adaptec dual or quad port ethernet cards in a os/2 4.0 machine?

Any info is appreciated.

Unfortunately, been there and done that.  My local name (not being too
original) is jeff (lower case).  The DB2 set up instructions are quite clear
for OS/2 and told me to add the alias if I chose to give a machine name.  I
can ping either localhost or jeff so I know the alias is working.  Thanks
though.  Initially I had not read down to the alias part in the instruction
and didn't have it in.  When I saw this I thought eureka but was sadly
mistaken.  Any other thoughts.

   AFAIK, 8423 and 8424 are 32 bit stacks.  I just looked on my
one computer with 8424, and it is definitely a 32 bit stack, and
the syslevel states that the previous version was a 8421, which
I believe also was a 32 bit stack, as I went 32 bit in spring
1998, with the previous January MPTS (8421?), and it
significantly improved the TCP/IP performance.

I did not know that 8421+ were 32 bit. Are you sure?
Is this upgrade hell or what? I don't even know what level of MPTS I am
at now.
Does anyone have a stable MPTS 86xx install?? How?

   Definitely!  My IPSpeed has two versions, 16 bit and 32 bit,
so I can test it with that.

   No, I  downloaded the images from:
ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/mpts/fixes/english-us

   I have included the two readme's below.  I used SVD to put
all the images in one directory, and I installed MPTS from that.
It looks like the 8424 package uses the Corrective Service Tool.

To find out your MPTS version, type "syslevel" at a command 
prompt.

>Does anyone have a stable MPTS 86xx install?? How?

   My friend who supports large OS/2 LANs and WANs, told me to
stay away from the 86xx stacks as they are way too buggy.

Subj: setting up connectivity between NT and OS/2

From: Andrew Cannon <cannon@sonic.net>

My employer has installed an ISDN line to my home for remote access to
work.  This is the first time I have attempted to setup a network on
OS/2(always had used a modem to ISP).

There doesn't seem to be any instructions on setting this up to an NT
network, and I have struggled with this for quite some time, so I
would appreciate any advice.  Here is what I have done so far:

1)installed the NIC and ISDN hardware
2) TCP/IP Configuration
    network - enabled lan0 manually (IP,subnet mask)
    routing - pc to isdn (treated as a gateway)
        (note: "create default ... a given host" button seems to
        be disabled all the time, so I imagine there will be a conflict
        when connecting to my ISP)
    hostnames - added
        my host name
        local domain
        several nameservers (all NT)
        added several important hosts (NT, UNIX machines at work)
    autostart- routed
    everything else is the default
3)MPTN -
    LAPS - removed No Network Adapter configuration
        added my LAN adapter
        added protocols
        0 - ... NETBIOS over TCP/IP
        0 TCP/IP

during bootup
ifconfig reports that the interface cannot be found (I believe
lan0 should be the default interface)

TME 10 NetFinity Network Interface reports
   Network Interface 'NETBIOS' atartup failed

netstat -n reports no interfaces

Seems like there is is fundamental problem here.  Any help or
suggestions would be great, Thanks

I have enable 8 LPD ports in TCP/IP Printing Configuration and selected
Autostart LPDPORTD.

During printer configuration (Printer template), when I view the printer
ports I cannot see any LPD ports; all  other local ports (LPTx, COMx) are

Any ideas?

If you type "nslookup jeff", does it return your address (while not
connected)?  You may not have the "Use hosts first" box checked.  That's
critical, too.

I assume what you're trying to do is get the DB2 UDB v5.x HTML search server
(Net.Question) working.  DB2 itself should work without all this extra stuff.
 The version of Net.Question in DB2 UDB v6.1 doesn't need quite so much of
this setup, I think.  Mind you, by the time I started playing with it, I
already had everything set up from v5.

this may be address in the MPTS updates and fixpaks. Are you running the
basic installation from the Warp4 CD?

If so, You may want to update your stack to the latest 16-bit (MPTS 5.1x)
  WR08423(install) + WR08424(fix)

or, install the 32 bit stack (not really recommended for a client machine)
  WR08610 + WR08620

Well, it could also be that 8421+ have a TCPIP32.dll which thunks to TCPIP.dll 
thich could be
16 bit. However, I'm less and less impressed by performance and more and more
by stability
each day. I might try to downlevel if IBM doesn't come up with any solution
soon. Are 8421+
for SMP machines? Or do I need a different version for that? I'll look around

> >Does anyone have a stable MPTS 86xx install?? How?

Peeps that do some webbrowsing only using the 86xx may do that without too
many problems...

It also depends on the applications. I'm splitting up services over different
servers now and
that way I get to choose the stablest stack for each server. My mail server
(InetMail) e.g.
benefits a lot from 8610. So does Lotus Go (which is a terrible buggy program
by the way).
Apache, Xitami, other EMX apps and the JVM apparently don't.

What I don't understand is that the MPTS team doesn't make fixing this a
priority (or maybe
they do, and it only seems that they don't). From my understanding WSeB with
the 8620 stack
also has all the problems we are having and then some. So much for (b)leeding
edge e-business
tools...

Maybe I should put this in a FAQ somewhere!

I have two 3c900 in my web server. I had to go into the settings in MPTS and
specify which PCI slot # it was or else both drivers initialized the same
card. You may have the same problem. Note which PCI slot the driver reports
for the card. Assuming you have both cards in adjacent slots, the next
higher number should be the correct slot for card number 2.

What exactly is a Nameserver?  Is it a server with certain software that is
able to resolve ip addresses?

Subj: Peer network vs server

From: "Barry" <72764.2166@csi.com>

Is there any difference in setup of a peer network vs a network with a server
that all workstations connect to?  Right now I have an OS/2 computer
connected peer to peer to two WIN98 computers.  What would be the setup
difference If I would make one of the WIN98 computers an NT server, that the
other 2 workstations connect to?

Actually it's the DB2 UDB v6.1 HTML search server (Net.Question)..  I
downloaded the whole thing at work (personal edition) and have JAVA 1.1.8 as

A nameserver is basically a database server that keeps track of which names
refer to which IP addresses, and can "speak" on a certain port (53) in a
certain way (as defined by certain internet standards) as to relay the
information in the database to any user asking for it.  It's more complicated
than this, but you have to realise that a certain amount of the internet's
names <==> IP addresses mapping is stored on the nameserver's system.  Most
especially, its own domain.

<slaps forehead> Duh.  Of course.  Try "host jeff".  Also, if you would,
what's the output of running "sniffle /P" (the case is important on the

heheh.  Yeah, it's one of those rare cases where a programmer uses a variable

Work?  Where?  Not too many people have v6.1 yet, I would have imagined.  We

Java doesn't use any search engine.  Visual Age for Java, however, does. 
Important question: which did you install first - VA Java, or DB2 PE?  Also,
which version of VA Java?

What I'd really like to know is *what* exactly isn't working?  I assume both
installed fine, but just the search in DB2 doesn't work, and the help (the
ENTIRE help) in VA Java doesn't work.  I assume everything else works fine? 
Of course, if you're developing, the help is somewhat important.  :-)

Subj: "RoadRunner" cable service

From: heloman@my-deja.com

I am currently using a modem and due to lousy phone
service and lines cannot get better than 2300bps.
This makes almost everything today really sloooowwww.
At a computer store her in Tampa, Time Warner was
demonstrating their RoadRunner cable service. As
usual they provide, "NO support for OS/2!". While I
believe I can provide a lan type card, what really
has me bugged is they have a WINDOWS only login/on
program. According to the rep this program must be
utilized every time one logs on to the system. Is
anyone using RoadRunner and if so HOW did you get
around this lousy way of logging on? What lan card
would you recommend and where are the driver(s)
located? I look forward to your recommendations.....

   I just checked now on two machines:

   One has OS/2 Connect and FP_40 with syslevel.mpt 8000, and
the other has OS/2 3.0 Red and syslevel.mpt 8423 over 8421.

   Using Watchcat, the TCPIP.DLL for the 8000 machine is a 16
bit DLL, and for the 8423 machine, the TCPIP.DLL is 32 bit.
There are still 16 bit EXEs and DLLs on both machines, notably:

LANMSGEX.EXE
    type:        Windowable
    mod DLL(32)         DOSCALL1.DLL
    mod DLL(16)         LANMSGDL.DLL
    mod DLL(32)         MSG.DLL
    mod DLL(32)         VIOCALLS.DLL

   No, if you go to

you will see that there are separate packages for SMP:

   The only reason that went for the new MPTS 8423 (on my
laptop), was for the enhanced DHCP support, and the TCPIP speed
increase was an unexpected bonus.

   That's why I stay away from the edge, never lone the bleeding
edge.  {:-) It was just a few weeks ago that I upgraded to OS/2
3.0 Connect from Red, and to Warp Server 4.0 from Lan Server 4.0
over 3.0 Red, and then applied my first OS/2 fix packs.

   I have not done this, however, it is my understanding that
you need to have both NETBIOS and TCP/IP on LAN0, and that
NETBIOS over TCP/IP has to be on a separate interface, i.e.
LAN1.

On top of that, you can put in nicknames for machines which are known to
your name servers for added ease of use.

A line like

my.ftp.host.uuu.edu  128.128.128.128  uuu # primary ftp host at U. of Uu

would allow you to type

 ftp uuu      or       telnet uuu          or       ping uuu [etc.]

instead of

 ftp my.ftp.host.uuuuu.edu

etc. Very nice when you deal with lots of machines, and also it
increases response time since the name server lookup over the net is not
needed. Only possible drawback: When the sysadmins of U. of Uu change
the IP numbers of their machines and the stuff in your hosts file points
to rubbish afterwards. This can be somewhat configured.

NB: Dunno off the top of my head whether it is 

  name ip nickname # comment

or

  ip name nickname # comment

but it's in the docs.

 Cheers,

This is the solution that worked for me last week, Chad.  Figure out
what slot OS/2 is looking for and go to MPTS, select the first card
driver, then Edit (or is it options?) and there's a place to specify
the slot and the card ID.  I recommend entering both. :)

That may be what it says there...I am only going from experience with all of
the machines that we use here.  If we do not change the IP in MPTCONFG.INI,
the workstation will be confused.

Not all roadrunner systems use the log-on process. Mine does not for example,
and OS/2 works just fine. There is an OS/2 version of the log-on process,

OK, I instaled both, and LATEST40.EXE from the TCPIP\STACK directory for
good measure -- but the problem still exists.

Something has improved, because there used to be an ARP exchange involving
SOURCE n.n.60.0 and DEST n.n.99.1, and now it involves SOURCE n.n.99.2 and
DEST n.n.99.1.  However, when I ping n.n.99.1, the packet still goes out
with source address n.n.60.66, which the host at n.n.99.1 can't see.

I tried adding a route to n.n.60.0 from n.n.99.2 but it doesn't help.

I was recently given a copy of OS/2 Warp v3 (non-connect) to tinker
with. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it to send and
receive TCP/IP packets via ethernet. I installed the FreeTCP package and
it all works fine except that I can't find a DHCP client for this
version of Warp anywhere. The NDIS drivers for this Intel EtherExpress
Pro 10+ are installed and working great, but I can't get an IP address
since everything on campus is dynamically based. I figure I should put
something in the lanstart.cmd file, but bootp doesn't do anything. Can
anyone help me out here? What do I need to get now?

easy. Now I wounder if there are any knowledge in how to create a
diskette(s) with ethernet support so that I can store image files and so
forth on a another computer over a LAN. It does not need to be Warp4 as long
as I can create HPFS partitions and use ZIP then it is enough.

I have tried to find information on the net but have not so far been
succesfull.

If you know something about this subject please answer cause a would be very

Roadrunner won't support OS/2 or Linux and hates supporting Macs, but 
there's lots of people using it with them.

Telephone Mical Solomon, Support Services Manager for RR Tampabay, at 
813-371-2214 and ask him lots of questions. He's very good at his job but 
probably unempowered by his boss suits. You should at least ask for a 
reduced fee for not needing the Windows install they're going to give you 
as part of the package.

If they don't reduce your fee, write me and I'll send you a "Sign up a 
friend" deal, and save a month's worth of fees in the bargain.



Good luck,

Buddy

This is NOT correct.  I have my machine setup exactly like his
and it works correctly.

>>during bootup
>>ifconfig reports that the interface cannot be found (I believe
>>lan0 should be the default interface)

Do you see the nic driver load during boot?  Is it outputing any
error messages?  If its a PNP card you may have to fiddle with the
bios to ensure an iterupt is available.  To me it sounds like your
nic card is not being seen correctly...  Have you got the latest
drivers for it?

Also it would seem that where the nic drivers are in the config.sys
can make or break a system.  In my case I had to move the drivers to
just after:

DEVICE=D:\ibmcom\LANMSGDD.OS2 /I:D:\ibmcom /S
DEVICE=D:\ibmcom\PROTMAN.OS2 /I:D:\ibmcom
DEVICE=D:\IBMCOM\MACS\KTC100.OS2
DEVICE=D:\IBMCOM\MACS\DLKFET.OS2

If I leave them were MPTS puts them I get a hang, with PEER active, when
ifconfig tries to set the ip address (or dhcpcd).  If they are at the end of
the
config.sys I get traps during boot.  I also had to reorder these statements:

RUN=D:\ibmcom\PROTOCOL\NBTCP.EXE
DEVICE=D:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\TCPBEUI.OS2
DEVICE=D:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\NETBIOS.OS2
DEVICE=D:\IBMLAN\NETPROG\RDRHELP.200
IFS=D:\IBMLAN\NETPROG\NETWKSTA.200 /I:D:\IBMLAN /N

One other piece of advice I got was to add a 'dummy' .bat file containing
just 'exit' to my startup folder.  Apparently without this PEER can sometimes
hang the machine.  (I do really mean .bat it needs to start a dos session).

The sniffle output is....

The TCP/IP address specified for your primary interface does not match the

HOSTNAME is also gone.  I got rid of the machine nae and TCP config did the

I'm with the Government of Prince Edward Island.  I'm a systems manager.  I

Your very close to being right on the money.  Both installs went Fine.  The
help works in BOTH products.  It just the search engine that is kaput.  I
suspect it is the same problem with both products.  VA JAVA isn't as clever
as DB2 so it doesn't check before starting the search server.  It starts the
server possibly when help is first loaded then times out on an error.  This
is only a guess.  The external symptoms are that I am merrily wandering
through help when this terrifying black screen appears from NetQuestion.
which says an error has occurred, hit enter to kill the server. Then I am
back
to the HTML help

I tried type netq.cfg  as per your instructions and all I got back was a
"beta"" character.  Could this be what is fried.

Anyway I will chug on.

Done, 

That, but I can't make heads or tails of the information in the

Subj: Re: warp 4 and two net cards

From: "Eric Erickson" <drowelf@vnet.net.nospam>

I have multiple systems with multiple cards with out a problem. 

1 Notebook with 2 PCMCIA Cards (Token Ring/Ethernet)
1 Server with 3 Cards (2 Ethernet. 1 Token Ring)
1 Server with 2 Cards (1 Ethernet, 1 Token Ring)

Its just a matter of using MPTS to configure all the cards so 
that there is no conflict. Depending on how flexible you 
driver software is it may require switching cards around
in PCI Slots to remove any IRQ conflicts.

You need to have the tnsnames.ora file in the Oracle directory

or get the one that is on the server (network) to which you attach and copy it 
to
that directory.

Probably because the system more tightly checks the headers now?  Could you
post the headers your script provides?  Or perhaps the portion of the code
that produces the headers?

Hmmm... have you tried making jeff an alias for whatever IP address you *do*
have for your primary adapter?  I assume you have a network card setup?  This
would be LAN interface 0.  [Had to go bring up tcpcfg2 to find the name :-)]

For example, I have that adapter set up for 10.10.10.1, and have my hostname
as an alias for this address rather than localhost.  This way, when I type in
"host jeff", I get 10.10.10.1, or, at least, I would if that were my
hostname.

SU is a name that went out before I got to IBM.  :-)  Now called Personal

Oooo... Well, if it weren't for the fact that you're getting a serious
problem coming out of sniffle, I'd say this was your problem.  We have a
documented problem if VA Java 2.0 goes onto a system before DB2... and even
in the reverse, you need DB2's first fixpak (due out "RSN").

Hmmm... I heard rumours (obviously false) that NetQuestion was required for
all of Java's help...

I can't find where I asked for the netq.cfg.  However, if you are feeling
adventurous, you may also want to play with the httpd.cnf in the netqos2
directory.  (I assume you know where this is.  If you don't, try typing
"db2netqd dir".  More undocumented commands.  Neat, huh?)  Don't play with
the port number... things won't work if you do.  This, however, won't fix the
sniffle problem.

>Anyway I will chug on.

I'm interested in getting this fixed even if just to update the NetQuestion
readme we have.  :-)

Subj: NR/2 and Netscape for OS/2 through Proxy Server

From: Tom Voltaggio <tvoltagg@home.com>

I am running Warp 4 FP 11 in a computer connected as a "client" in a 2
computer Peer network.  The other computer is running win95 and is
connected to a cable modem through a second NIC.  I have Internet Gate
proxy server software on the "gateway" computer.  I am able to ping both
computers and the "client" runs PMMail/2 through the proxy server fine.
The problems:
1 - How can I configure NR/2 ver 2.0 to run through the proxy server to
the cable modem?  I tried putting the IP address of the "gateway" in the
news server box, but it will not connect.  Any ideas?  If not, does
anyone know of a news reader program which can run through a proxy
server (other than Netscape)?
2 - I cannot get Netscape for OS/2 4.61 or 4.04 to run on the "client"
I keep getting "broken pipe" messages.  I can run the "client" in Win 95
through the Boot Manager and Netscape works fine in Win 95, so I know
this is an OS/2 problem and not a TCP/IP problem.  I'm using Beta 2 of
Netscape 4.61 and Java 1.1.8.  I reinstalled 4.61 and 4.04 and also
deleted each one so only one was installed.  No luck.  The real kicker
is that when I run Netscape 4.03 for Windows 3.1 in Win-OS/2, it runs
fine!!!  Any ideas will be appreciated.  Thanks.

Use the following REXX script to add (logical port objects)LPT4-LPT9 

/* Add LPT4 to LPT9 into OS2SYS.INI */
/* Title this file LPTX.CMD */
/* This script works by it is absolutely not supported by IBM */
call RxFuncAdd 'SysIni', 'RexxUtil', 'SysIni'
do i=4 to 9
        call SysIni 'SYSTEM','PM_SPOOLER_PORT','LPT'||i, ';'||'00'x
end
exit

if you change 9 to 64 you can have 64 (logical) LPT port objects

run this script before you configure lprportd THEN

Open the 'Programs' object on the desktop, 
then 'TCP/IP Internet (LAN)' folder 
then double click on the TCP/IP configuration icon
then select the 'Autostart' tab
then arrow down to 'lprportd' Service, and put a checkmark in 'Autostart
Service' checkbox.

Next select the 'Printing' tab
for the 'Remote Print Server' specify the host name of the print server
where you want your line printer request (LPR) request to be sent. <I
left this field blank>

for the 'Remote Print Server's Printer' specify the name of the printer
queue on the remote print server or a device name "155.203.12.33" where
you want your (LPR) request to be sent. If you specify a device name,
the LPD server determines the associated queue.

i.e. LPT4 is the name of an OS/2 printer and PIPELPD4 "155.203.12.33" is
the device name of the IP attached remote printer.

This info is saved as the LPR_PRINTER environment variable in your
config.sys file.

Now you need to reboot for these changes to take effect.

Now create a Folder on your DeskTop for your LPRportD printer objects.

Drag a Printer Object from the template folder into your newly created
LPRportD folder.

The Printer Object setup page appears.

Give the LPRportD printer a meaningful name <For 'Name' type in
"PipeLPD4">, select the type of printer it will use and then double
click on the printer object '\PIPE\LPD4' This will bring up the settings
screen for the LPD printer. The minimum info you need to enter is the
LPD Server "155.203.nn.nn" and for "LPD printer" the word "text"

Click OK then the CREATE Button. Repeat this process for as many
LPRportD printers you need to define. Remember you can change the
LPTX.CMD script loop counter from 9 to 64.

Next add the following line or as many as you need to the startup.cmd

SPOOL /D:LPT4 /0:PIPELPD4
SPOOL /D:LPT5 /0:PIPELPD5
SPOOL /D:LPT6 /0:PIPELPD6

The lines above uses the SPOOL command to redirect a print job destine
for an LPT port and sends it to the LPRportD printer object which is
identified with an IP address.

Note: You can not use LPRportD printer objects to redirect printer
output from a Windoze app running under WIN-OS2. WIN-OS2 only supports
Lpt 1-3

Hope this points you in the right direction.

Subj: How do you connect NT wkst to Warp Server

From: Rick Starich <rickstarich@home.com>

Has anyone been sucessful using IBM's "Primary Logon Client for NT (June
99 version)" to access resources on a Warp Server? My IBM Primary Logon
Client for NT tells me it can't see DOMAIN01 my Warp Server domain.

I have a feeling it has something to do with my TCPIP settings on Warp
Server.

Under TCP/IP config 'Host Names' tab  I have
'The Computers Host Name' = msc01
'Local Domain Name' = domain01

'Name Resolution' tab
'Named Server Address' = 192.168.0.1 (Warp Server)
'Lan Domain Serach List' <No Entries>

'Hosts' tab
192.168.0.1    msc01         (Warp Server)  
192.168.0.3    c397631-a     (NT workstation)

Look thru Host list before going to Name Server (is checked)

NT workstation can ping Warp Server.
Warp Server can ping NT workstation.

Have some suggestions?

They often are in the form smtp.ISP_domain or mail.ISP_domain

Both smtp.flash.net and mail.flash.net exist (same host, actually).

WR08210 ServicePak/Refresh services MPTS for WARP Connect, and
WARP Server LS 5.0 (Converged Stack) U.S. and U.K. versions.  For
LS 4.0 MPTS (Non-Converged Stack) use WR08150.

This ServicePak/Refresh provides service for IBM MPTS LAN Adapter and
Protocol Support that shipped with WARP Connect, and LAN Server 5.0
MPTS that shipped with WARP Server, (Converged-Stack).  Countries
that use U.S. and U.K. versions may apply this ServicePak/Refresh.

Running fine here. MPTS WRG8600. TCPIP 4.1.
As already said in another posting, maybe you mixed up tcpip and mpts.
As far as I known you cant run all possible combinations.
Look at the readmes which combination is possible.

Hope this helps

Subj: Theta Band Software releases WarpCharge payment software

From: nospam_madbrain@thetaband.com

Santa Clara, Calif. - Theta Band Software LLC released WarpCharge, a new
product that enables web sites to securely process credit card orders directly
over the Internet.

WarpCharge is the first credit card processing software available for the OS/2
platform.  WarpCharge provides the missing piece in your OS/2 e-commerce
solution : the payment system.

"Until now, merchants running secure web sites on IBM OS/2 Warp Server for
E-business had no means to process payments online. They could accept online
orders, but had to process the payment manually." said Julien Pierre,
President of Theta Band Software. "Shoppers like to get their purchase
immediately, and by processing credit card payments automatically and in
real-time, WarpCharge enables that sort of instant gratification."

WarpCharge is not just for e-commerce - it can be used for nearly all types of
businesses : whether you are taking credit card orders by mail, over the phone
or real-time over the Internet, WarpCharge is the perfect solution.

WarpCharge comes with sample CGI scripts for use on any secure OS/2 web
server, so that you can start taking Internet orders immediately.

WarpCharge also comes with an extensive REXX interface that lets developers
integrate credit card processing facility into any REXX-enabled OS/2
application, or into custom applications.

There are two editions of WarpCharge :

WarpCharge Business

WarpCharge Business is for any business that needs to process credit cards
over the phone, web, or in custom REXX applications. 

WarpCharge for Internet Service Providers

WarpCharge for ISPs lets Internet Service Providers offer credit card
processing capability to all their customers.

AVAILABILITY

WarpCharge is available for purchase from the Theta Band Software web site at
http://www.thetaband.com . WarpCharge Business requires a PC running IBM OS/2
Warp 4, OS/2 Warp Server or OS/2 Warp Server for E-Business. In addition,
WarpCharge for ISPs requires an OS/2 secure web server program.

ABOUT THETA BAND SOFTWARE LLC

Theta Band Software, headquartered in Santa Clara, California, was founded in
1997 and develops Internet and multimedia software products for IBM OS/2 Warp
that are marketed and sold on the world wide web.

DHCP was added into Warp 3 with UN00959.  However I believe this required
TCP/IP version 3.0, which is what came with Warp Connect.

And it also required the underlying MPTS fixes... WR08210, or the much newer
WR08423 and WR08424.  These latter brought TCP/IP up to version 4.0.

And then you'd want IC17248, the latest TCP/IP 4.0 stack, DOSBOX, etc. to
bring your whole environment most-current.

But to be honest, I'm not sure this maintenance is applicable to plain Warp 3.


I know it applies to Warp Connect (since that's what I use... including DHCP
to support my cable modem), but I'd hate to steer you wrong regarding Warp 3.
I just haven't used plain Warp 3 for many years.

But the answer to the basic question is that DHCP (which is inherent in Warp
4) was added to Warp Connect with UN00959.

From: Heiko Glueckher <hg@uni.de>

After the successfull installation of the actual os/2 ssh client I get
the error message "Could not create directory '//ssh'" each time when
opening a ssh-session. The start of ssh is incredibly slow, maybe
because it tries several times to create this folder. After some 2
minutes of waiting I get the connection and everything works fine and
fast. Is there a possibility to force the ssh-client to create or use
another directory?

Thanks,

You need to run the Browser service on the server and have Netbios on both
the workstation and the server.  TCP-IP shouldn't have anything to do with
it.

Subj: Connectivity

From: REMOVE_THISjbradley@msc.net

I have 4 machines in my home network, as follows:

A- PPro 200 with both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps ethernet. The 100 Mbps card is
setup as 192.168.0.1 Netmask 255.255.255.0 and the 10 Mbps card is setup
as 192.168.1.1 Netmask 255.255.0.0 . This machine currently has the modem
(USR Sportster internal). IP forwarding is turned on.

B- PPro 200 with 100 Mbps ethernet. 192.168.0.3 Netmask 255.255.255.0

C- P133 with 100 Mbps ethernet. 192.168.0.5 Netmask 255.255.255.0

D- 486 with ISA bus with 10 Mbps ethernet. (If it had a PCI bus, or the
ISA fast ethernet cards that I've found had OS/2 drivers, I'd change the
card.)

I'd like to setup D as my internet server, using InJoy for IP network
address translation with dial on demand (or linux with diald). The problem
that I have, is that I can't get B or C to recognize D, nor D to recognize
B or C (I can ping anything from A, A from anything, but I can't ping D
from B or C, nor B and C from D). Both B, C, and D have A setup as their
gateway.

What do I need to do to get B and C to recognize D?

Subj: simple test for possible bug

From: ad354@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (James Owens)

I think I am up against a bug in the way OS/2 assigns an alias to a
network card (up to and including TCPIP 4.02w). The card can receive using the
alias, but cannot send using the alias. 

If someone could try this simple test, it would help me eliminate hardware
or setup problems. (If there is something obviously wrong with the setup
or my expectations, I would greatly appreciate more information about that.)

You need three hosts on an ethernet. 

- One has address a.b.c.1
- One has address a.b.d.1
   (where a, b, c, and d are at your convenience) -
 One is OS/2 machine to be tested, with TCP/IP on one LAN adapter. 

On the machine to be tested, type

route -c
ifconfig lan0 a.b.c.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig lan0 a.b.d.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias

Both hosts are able to ping OS/2 machine, but OS/2 machine is able to
ping only c.1

Now type

route -c
ifconfig lan0 a.b.d.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig lan0 a.b.c.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias

Again, both hosts are able to ping OS/2 machine, but OS/2 machine
is able to ping only d.1.

Can anyone confirm this?

You didn't say what the IP address of D is. Given the
two IP addresses on A I assume that the IP address of
D is something like 192.168.1.2 or something like that.

What you have here is two separate subnets. 

The netmask settings on B and C preclude them seeing
the 192.168.1.X series of addresses

You can change the netmask settings to 255.255.0.0 on all
machines or you can change the IP addresses.

You should change the IP address to all be the same subnet
(192.168.0.X) This will give machine A two addresses
192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.10 both with a netmask of 255.255.255.0

Machine D IP address of 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
and a router/gateway of 192.168.0.10 (10 mbps card address)

Machine B and C would have a router of 192.168.0.1 
(100 mbps card address)

When you set up machine D as the dial on demand server
the default route for the A, B, C  machines will have to point to 
192.168.0.10 (D address) to route IP addresses that are not
part of the 192.168.x.x subnet to the D machine so it can pass
them on to the external internet. The D machines default route
will be the ISP router/gateway value.

Usually will just not know which IP to use.  If the Router Statement and
NetName are set up correctly, they will usually go out to the server, and
find out their correct IP, change and reboot.  They are fine then.  But
sometimes they will just get stuck, and not connect to the network.  Change
the IP in that file, reboot, and they are almost always fine

From: "Randy McCulloch" <rmcculloch@rocketmail.com>

Microsoft gotcha, if you first tell your computer you don't want logon
screens by not giving a username and password and click OK, on
initialization then a registry entry will prevent you from getting a network
login after installing a card, protocol and client.  The Fix!  Run regedit,
search for autologon or autologin, I can't remember, when found delete the
key, close regedit reboot the computer.  Voila.  Should do the trick.

I'm running OS/2 Warp 4 (not Warp Server) and I want to map to some drives

moment I do not have OS/2 Requester installed. Is it included with the

Subj: Re: How do you connect NT wkst to Warp Server

From: Rick Starich <rickstarich@home.com>

Thanks for the reply

I am checking all components again. Noticed the readme.1st said to
uninstall logon client before applying a service pack. I need to
uninstall and reinstall the client logon and see if this fixes the
problem.

Also the following is from the readme.1st 

    IBM Networks Coordinated Logon Client for Windows NT         Page 1
of 5
   
    -----------------
    2.0 Prerequisites
    -----------------

         You must have the following prerequisite components installed
on
         your system before you can install IBM Networks Client:

           *   The Microsoft Workstation service
           *   An appropriate network adapter device driver
           *   A supported protocol (either NetBEUI or TCP/IP)

NetBEUI is different the netbios right? My NT workstation is not using
NetBEUI but does have NetBIOS in the Services tab of the Network
section. TCPIP is an installed protocol.

Are you using NetBEUI?

I keep fiddling with it, and let you know the outcome.

Thanks again. RickStarich@home.com

Subj: Re: How do you connect NT wkst to Warp Server

From: Leigh Engelhart <engel003@mc.duke.edu>

I've forgotten the precise relationship between NetBios and NetBEUI--they're
closely related somehow--but NetBios is what you want on the workstation.
Double check that NetBios is also installed on the server and is bound to the
correct adapter, etc.

Re: the IBM Client having to be installed after applying an NT SP.  I've hit
that gotcha quite a few times.  Absolutely, whenever you apply a service pack,
first uninstall the Client by deleting it from the Services page of the
Network
configuration notebook.  Then re-install it after the service pack has been
applied.  Otherwise you may not be able to log in at all on reboot.  I've
actually had to re-install the operating system due to forgetting this.  Even
with an Emergency Repair Disk, to get back to the regular NT logon, you may
have
to overwrite so much of the Registry that you have to re-install much of your
software.

BTW, for performance sake, you may want to use regedit to create a DWORD
value,
~Winlogon|'SlowLinkDetectEnabled' (with value 0).  You can also change the
value
of ~LogoffPolicy|DeleteUser from 1 to 0.  Not deleting the profile speeds up
logon some.

To be able to see the Warp Server in the Network Neighborhood, you also need
to
be running the Browser service on the server.

It's included. The install procedures reference it as 
"File and Print Services Client". You can install it by executing the
"INSTALL.CMD" file in the root directory of the Warp 4 CD

You will also have to add OS/2 NETBIOS and/or NETBIOS
over TCP/IP in the MTPS setup in order to talk to the NT
server.

WARNING - this will fail if the length of the PATH in your PATH
statement exceeds 250 bytes or something like that. reduce it
before you do the network install and save yourself some 
headaches......

So now you have a card on A and a card on D both with 192.168.0.10  ?

Subj: NFS Server 'execute' bits

From: webster@lexmark.com@   (Gary R. Webster)

Hey, OS/2 people !!   Here's a good one for you.

I'm using the NFS server included with Aurora to do file sharing to some
Solaris & Linux clients.  It is working fine except for one thing.
It appears that the NFS server is 'guessing' at the NFS 'execute' bits
(user, group, & other) according to file extension.  This leaves some
extensions, like '.sh' un-executable by these clients, which is bad.

In the IBM 'book' "IBM TCP/IP v2.0 for OS/2: NFS Guide", I found the
following in section 2.4:
	"The user-execute, group-execute, and other-execute bits are set
	depending on the file's extension.  If the file ends with .exe, .EXE,
   .com, .COM, .cmd, .CMD, .out, .OUT, .nfs, or has no extension,
   the three execute bits are set."
So, this appears to be a problem in the NFS server itself, not an O/S
'association' issue.  This 'method' also appears to have been
carried-over to the Aurora NFS server (NFSD.exe).

Judging from the behavior of my Aurora NFS server, the NFS 'executable'
extensions have been 'updated' to include '.bat', & now omit '.nfs' .

Anywho, this seems like an awfully short-sighted mechanism, & I can't
believe that there isn't some way to configure this 'list' .   Does anyone
have an idea on this one?  I have read through all 'redbooks' & the like,
which I can find, that are even remotely related to OS/2 NFS.

To make matters worse, I have a Windows NT4 Server, using Windows Services
for Unix (SFU) NFS Server, which doesn't exhibit this problem.  It shows all
files as executable to the NFS clients.  This may not be correct,
but it offers the functionality that we need.

Thanks for any advice.

The original grouping gave out class A addresses to big companies using
the lower 24 bits to denote individual IP addresses. Class B's went to
smaller companies using the lower 16 bits for addresses and Class C 
went to those sites needing just 253 addresses (.0 and .255 being
reserved). To mask out the address bits you use the netmask to OR
(or is it AND :-) out the address to identify your subnet. For example
you can have subnets AAA.BBB.100.DDD through AAA.BBB.104.DDD
and the corresponding netmask would be 255.255.252.0 - check the bits
to see exactly how it works. Your machine knows that with the 255.255.252.0
mask that all addresses from 100 to 104 are in the same subnet.

So in this case Bell Atlantic's Class C has just over 65 thousand addresses
that they can hand out. You machine knows that all addresses from AAA.BBB.0.1
to AAA.BBB.255.254 are on the same subnet.

It doesn't actually matter much in this case unless you have it set wrongly.

Make a shadow of the setup.cmd file and keep it on your desktop. If I see that

run it to clear the table back to the original. Works a treat - a fix from IBM

Sorry about that the IP address of D should be something like
192.168.0.11

Each IP address assignment has to be unique.

From: "Jaime A. Cruz, Jr." <Spammers@Bite.Me>

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I did some experimentation and discovered the problem was related to using
Object REXX as my default environment.  When I use SWITCHRX to switch to
Classic REXX, my cgi scripts work fine.  I relayed this information to Brian
Havard and this was his response:

  Some CGI security was tightened in this version. It appears that Object
Rexx
  requires the DPATH environment variable to exist but it's no longer
included
  in a CGI's environment by default (it used to include everything which is
  considered insecure). To make it work just add

  PassEnv DPATH

  to your httpd.conf

I just thought I'd pass this information along.

IBM has an NFS Server/Client package for OS/2 TCP/IP v2.1 which works
pretty well for us on Warp4.  We use Woolongong on DOS and OmniNSF on
WIN98 and everything works out pretty well.  

All of that is separate purchase packages - not included with the OS.

Thanks for confirming that.  I had to squint at it fairly hard myself

Can anyone point me to performance tuning information for OS/2's TCP/IP?
I am running the 8610 update on a Warp Server box  whose primary
function is a Lotus Notes server. I never see more than 130 or so
sockets in use, although more than this number of Notes sessions are
active. Is there a way to tune this and other IP parameters?

Subj: two netcards update - no go

From: chadpaul@netexpress.net

Hello,

I have tried a few things. I have one 3com 3c905 card and a 10 base t linksys
pci.

I put the linksys in pci slot 1, and mpts reports it as adapter nic 1
the 3com is nic 0 in mpts.

under mpts, I edit the 3com card so that I tell its
MAC address and the pci slot it is in.  I left pci bus # blank.
I even tried it with the MAC address blank.

Two people wrote that they managed to have things going.
Can someone post the MPTS settings they used for their two cards.
What brand or brands of cards were used and the settings for each in MPTS?

I am drawing a few blanks.
Any more ideas or suggestions? 
I am willing to copy someone's configuration to make it happen.
Even buying the same cards and everything. 

Maybe in the long run I am better buying the server type net cards with dual
ports.
Intel and Adaptec make them. Pricy but might be a easier solution.

Any specific configuration file to look closely at?
If I need to add in a clip of a config file to the posting, what file or files 
should I get and put into the posting?


Any ideas most welcomed,

chadpaul@netexpress.net

Hello,

I am considering to buy maybe an Intel or Adaptec
dual port ethernet card.

I am wanting to use it to route between my LAN and the internet via TCI@home's
cable modem.

Has anyone used such network cards?
Any tried such cards under OS/2?

Maybe I am better off just buying a small ethernet to ethernet router for
about $500.00.

Any ideas or comments welcomed.

Ok, pardon my ignorance, but where can I get this "LAN requestor"? I got the

I have a D-Link and a Linksys both working fine under Warp 4. I did not
do anything other than install the drivers, select the NICs in MPTS and
assign protocols to each one. Both are PCI NICs. I use similar setup at

Try to run netstat -r and look at output. I guess default router is 
set to IP reachable only with
mask 255.255.0.0. Anyway, using such mask for large network simplifies
setup although introduces 
some drawbacks.

   I am not sure if you even initially need Lan Requestor
installed, or where to obtain it.  It comes packaged with Lan
and Warp Servers, and you might be able to find it somewhere if
8421 does not install by itself, which it may just do.

8421 contains no lan requester, only MPTS fixes.

8423 is better then 8421.

I've still not resolved a similar problem on my laptop TP 390E.

Using two PCMCIA Cards (same make and model) MPTS has them configured as Lan0
and Lan1 but, Slot 2 will not power on when there is a card in Slot 1.  Slot
two alone is fine.  Both cards are set for different I/O's and different
IRQ's.  Trying to run a cable modem off of the lan1 card using DCHP.

This has been very frustrating.  What's more frustrating is it works in
WINbows!

HELP! Anyone?

I have two 3c905s.  I put one in PCI slot 3 and one in PCI slot 4.  The
slot numbers that OS/2 sees, however, are *different*.  In my computer,
PCI slot 3 is noted in MPTS driver options as PCI slot uhm... 10, I
think.  I think it reports 11 for slot 4.  I don't know WHY it does
this, I only know that it did.  So I have to put the higher slot
numbers into MPTS.

Subj: connect to NT server: IP08402 didn't work

From: ad354@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (James Owens)

After updating MPTS and TCPIP, and then installing File and Client
Services (which required a work-around using PEERRMT.EXE from the
Installation CD, to accept the newer MPTS.EXE), I could connect to some NT
peers but not others -- specifically the server I want to map.  When I
tried I would get "SYS0234: More data is available".

From Dejanews I learned that this was supposedly fixed with IP8402. But I
have installed IP8402, and I still have the same problem.

NOTES: First I tried to install it using the CSF disk CSFTOOL1.DSK from
IP8402, but after inserting Disk 1 I got an error message about an
out-of-date component (I didn't note the exact wording, but I could
reproduce it if necessary.) Then I used the CSF disk FIXT139, which came
with the MPTS fix IP8424, and this seemed to work OK. The level is now
8402. 

Also during the installation the CONFIG.SYS PATH did not include
C:\IBMLAN\NETPROG or C:\MUGLIB, which had been added by the File and
Client Services installation. (I had hidden an older, longer CONFIG.SYS
and restored it after.)

The bottom line is that I still can't connect to the server, and the error
message is exactly the one IP8402 was supposed to correct.  Should I just
start over with the original TCPIP, MPTS, and File and Client from the Install
CD, and then add fixes in numerical order?

Hello Experts,

I have a big problem.
I have a computer (workstation, win98) who is connnected in two different
ways.

Either it is connected:
1. to a NT network through TCP/IP.
or
2. stand alone to a cable modem (the other place I live)

Now every time I am at a different location I have to reconfigure my TCP/IP
settings for this one NIC!. Is there a way to switch TCP/IP settings at
startup. So I dont have to reconfigure my NIC manually every time?

Thanx in advanced,
(plz reply by email! :)

Done properly by someone that know what they are doing NT can
communicate with Warp Server or Warp 4 using:

1) NetBUEI/NetBIOS
2) TCPBUEI/NetBIOS
3) TCP/IP  (there is no native file system for TCP/IP in NT)

Any combination of these, is possible, for Warp Server you need.

XRnW040 (or better), WR08423 and IP08267.

It doesn't.  The administrator says he'll add it when he gets the chance.

Subj: Problem with ftpget (FTPAPI) in VisualAge C++ 

From: mark.parent@sympatico.ca (Mark Parent)

I'm having a consistent problem with ftpget, where I receive an access
violation each time I attempt to execute the routine.  I've even
hardcoded the function in my code, matching the syntax and example
shown in the documentation to no effect.  (I'm not having any problems
with other ftp API calls, such as ftprename or ftpappend, which I
assume means that I've compiled and linked correctly)

Here's my current (hardcoded) function call:

rc = ftpget ( "10.2.1.11", "PARENT", "MARK", NULL, "edp.xxx",
"edp.xxx", "w", T_BINARY );

I'm using the parameters in this order:  address, userid, password,
account, local filename, remote filename, mode, type

Does anyone have any similar experience with ftpget ??

I have two batch files:

ipup.cmd
@ifconfig lan0 24.113.29.27 up

ipdown.cmd
@ifconfig lan0 24.113.29.27 down

   You can modify these for your situation.  Just 'ipdown' the
cable modem ip and 'ipup' the NT ip, et vice versa, or make an 
inclusive NT.cmd or cable.cmd.

There are two ways for you to proceed.

1) as above needs NetBEUI (I always spell it wrong) installed on the
   target NT machine,

2) TCPBEUI installed on the WARP 4 box this is done by selecting
   NETBIOS OVER TCPIP in the MPTS configuration.

BOTH NEED additional work. You must have a userid and password defined
on the NT DOMAIN ( if ther is one) or on the NT Workstation if that is
the target.

You must have the WORKGROUP name or the NT Domain name in the Domain
part of IBMLAN.INI.

You must have the SAME user id and password defined to the LOCAL
UPMACCTS for which the usual starting place is userid of userid and
password of password. (it's in \MUGLIB)

Then you will be able to do

net use z: \\ntserver\ntresource, provided the ntresource is shared.
another password can be imposed by NT's share level security.

Welcome to the world of interoperability.

I wouldn't bother; you've been fed a red herring here, I suspect (because
Alon has misunderstood your problem).  Whilst NetBEUI is one possible
transport between NT and OS/2, it is NOT a REQUIREMENT.

An NT server system is perfectly visible on OS/2 even when only using
NetBIOS over TCP provided you're on the same sub-net.  If you're on a
different one, there are workarounds using the RFCHOSTS and RFCBCST
files: there have been recent threads here that mention these (wish I
could lay my hands on the URL of the site with the information on using
these: it's already helped me, and someone else to whom I passed on the
information).

With regard to your ACTUAL problem (which Alon seemed to miss/ignore) of
getting the "More data available" from the NT server.  I too suffer from
this problem, and after investigating at Deja, found the IP08402 fix that
you mention.  However, unlike yourself, I didn't try applying this as it
stood, because I knew my system had already had other fix packs applied
which would have meant (as you found) that the 8402 fix wouldn't be able
to be applied.

On the assumption that every fix pack for an OS/2 component (whether a
mainstream FP, or one of these "offshoot" fixes such as IP08402)
incorporates all APARs distributed in a previous fixpack, I applied (like
yourself) the latest IP084xx fix that I could find at Boulder; like
yourself, I found that it *DIDN'T* cure the "More data is available"
problem.

I suspect that when the later fixes in the IP084xx range were created,
IBM inadvertently omitted the particular APAR fix for the SYS3502
problem.  I had been intending to post a query just like yours (although
I would have hoped to have received more helpful replies than you seem to
have got to date).

Question: how can one determine just which fixes are in a particular pack
like this, and, more importantly, if it is indeed the case that the
particular fix has been "lost" in later packs, how does one go about
getting IBM to put it back in?

Now I'm confused. All other things being equal, is it enough for me to
have NetBIOS over TCP/IP (and of course TCP/IP) drivers on my NIC, or is
it _also_ necessary for the NT server to have a NETBEUI driver to
interface with my NetBIOS?

Note that I have the userid, password, and domain.  I can perform a LAN
Server logo successfully using the icon in the OS/2 Peer group.  Once
logged on, I can see many other machines on the network, and I can access
the shared resources on them (well -- I can see drives, I haven't tried
printing.) The problem comes when I attempt to connect to the shared
resources of the LAN server (to map drives) -- then I get SYS0234: More
data is available. 

According to the APAR for this, the server is trying to send more than 4K
of something -- so I figure I'm connected.  However, the APAR fix has not
helped. I'm now waiting for the admin to add NETBOOEY (whatever) -- but if
there has been a misunderstanding and this will not be helpful, please let
me know.

Subj: RoadRunner and card setup?

From: heloman@my-deja.com

I am moving closer to getting RoadRunner service. I
purchased a Linksys 10/100 Lan Card. NOW that I have
it installed in the bus slot what next? The drivers
give several choices: OS/2 Lan, DOS Requester, etc. I
was thinking of the OS/2 Lan. Also what do I need to
do regarding OS/2? Since I am already leaving msgs
via the internet via my modem the TCPIP is already up
and running. Do I need to make adjustments to this
for the new land card? If not is there something that
MPTS needs to know? Since I have not subscribed as of
yet what numbers, netmask, io, address, etc. do I
need to enter in the tcpip/mpts setups? Is there a
very nice and easy step by step webpage that might
answer the bulk of these questions. Thanks in advance
for any answers given.  <<ah the simplicity of just
being a standalone desktop model>>

The admin hasn't done anything yet, so it's now on hold while I figure
this out. . .

Happily, I'm on the same subnet. I'd like to be on two subnets, which is a
different problem I can't get solved: when I define an alias for the same
NIC using ifconfig, all packets go out with the source address for the
first subnet.  As a result, machines only on the second subnet cant find
me to reply.  

But I digress.  Let's say I'm on one subnet, the same one as the NT
server.

Well, I applied it, but using a CSF for a different fix (8424). Here also,
I'm confused.  The 8424 CSF was 1.39, which warned that 1.37 et al would
never work again after I used it.  However, the 8402 CSF identified itself
as 2B. And 1.37 for FP 6 came on 2 disks, while 1.39 came on one. This is not
the group for it, but if anyone can explain something about the CSF disk
in these fixpaks I'd be grateful.

But I used 8402, superseded by 8401, which was the first one referenced
for the problem.  Surely it wasn't lost that fast?  Or do you mean it
might have been undone in advance, as it were, by the 8424 I had already
applied?

My question is whether I can safely unwind this mess by removing MPTS, TCPIP,
and File and Client, and starting from the beginning -- or is that risky,
or futile?

Thanks. I'm running Warp 4 (client) FP 6, WR08424, IP08402.  We do have
TCP/IP communications (ping is ok and FTP gets a login prompt at least),
but for File and Client Services I have to use NetBIOS over TCP/IP, and my
guess is that NT has to use NetBUEI at the other end. 

Admin still hasn't got around to installing it (has to take the system
down).

From: "Sebastian Lotz" <Baschti@Gmx.de>

Hi,

we have a big problem with some of our Warp 4 - PC in our firm.

After I installed the DOS/WINDOWS support of TCPIP 4.00 from the original
Warp 4.0 CD, I reinstalled Fixpack 9 (german)
On some of our PC occurs now a trap 000e when I started command.com an
execute Ping with a valid adress. (We use Citrix Metaframe 16Bit-Client and
it crashes, too)
Some older Models seems to have not such a problem, everything is running
fine.

Some Ideas?
If not, where should I search for differences of the running and the failing
systems?

greetings from germany

Sorry folks, but I did not misunderstand the problem and I stand by my
statement
of NETBEUI on the NT boxes, it has to be installed.  I've had to install it
myself on several PC's I wanted to connect to.  For the "more data available"
problem, make sure that the share name on the NT box is C  not C$ and that
none
of the folders are shared.  You then can net use the \\ntbox\C or use the File 
&
Print Client to see all the NT's resources from OS/2.

Thanks for the information.  It really helped.  Unfortunately, I have
two problems:

    1) NETBEUI does not load at boot up, i.e. SYS1201 occurs, which later
    causes NET2 and NetWksta.200 to fail to load.

The more data is avail is caused by resource names (or comments) which
are longer than 8 characters. Try a 
	
	net view \\maschine_name

I'll bet youl'll see long names or names with spaces or special
characters.

BTW, have you searched the apar database that this problem was indeed
fixed. I consider this still a myth.

It is not necessary for the NT server (or workstation) to have
the NetBUEI protocol installed in order to communicate with any box
that has NetBIOS over TCP/IP installed.

You do have to tell IBMLAN.INI about TCPBUEI

; OS/2 Peer initialization file

  net1 = TCPBEUI$,0,LM10,100,150,14 ; This information ....

Adding NetBEUI to the NT server is one solution other posts here have

IBM keep messing with the CSF disks they are up to 141 now. You are
confused, as are many who havent done this before.

The IBM.PEER fixes necessary for WARP 4 are in order of appearance

8401
8402
8406
8407
8410
8412


Most of these are cululative and should include all previous fixes
You should be running with 8412 applied, I am and I have not seen this
problem.

The MPTS fixes are in order of appearance

8415 (I think, a long time back)
8420
8421
8423
8424

These are cumulative as above except 8424, I run with only 8423. 8423
is not applied with CSF just run MPTS off the first disk.

8402 superceded 8401 and now you should be on 8412, this fixes LAN
requester and Peer things and is nothing to do with MPTS.

8424 is an MPTS fix which need 8423 applied first.

It can be dangerous :( if you have 8412 and 8423 there should not be a
problem, as someone else posted the NT resource must not be C$ (unless
you are an admin on the NT domain) the nt resource should be shared
with a name such as CDRIVE or whatever.

No; it's caused by the complete list of shared resources available being
longer then 4kB in toto.  I can use net view of certain servers (at work)
and see resources with names well in excess of eight characters, but I
still get the "more data available" after about twenty lines of such.
(perhaps the server shouldn't be proferring quite so many shares;-)

It claims to have been fixed in one particular IP084xx fix-pack; as
suggested by me earlier, I *suspect* that the fix was somehow or other
dropped from later versions of that fix-pack.  (I base my concept of its
having been fixed upon Deja-archived postings from people who said that
applying the fix had cured the problem for them; I base my conception
that the fix was lost/dropped/stolen/strayed upon my empirical evidence
that applying a later FP did NOT cure the problem.  I have never tried
applying the one version of the FP that claimed to have fixed that
particular APAR.)

Thanks, I'll give this a try -- but I'm not optimistic.  I've found that
these commands are effective in real time from the command line, and by
now I must have tried the equivalent.  

My problem is not getting two addresses on the same card -- I can do that.
My problem is getting OS/2 to use the aliased address properly, by
incorporating it as the source address when sending to the secondary
subnet. (Am I right in thinking it's supposed to do that?)

Fortunately I have an indefinite lease on the DHCP network, so in practice
I can switch between networks from the command line by issuing an ifconfig
for whichever subnet I want to be on. (Sometimes I have to clear existing
routes first.) This workaround will do, since I don't really need to be on
both subnets simultaneously.

Thanks to everyone who is helping me with this. A word of explanation may
be in order. 

I'm the last OS/2 client in the company.  The administrator, who was
originally hired to administer a Novell office network and help with an
OS/2 token ring product, has lost all patience with OS/2 -- "Good OS, but
no drivers and no support."  We are migrating the product to NT, and to
simplify his life he is also migrating the office network to NT. 

People in our company are encouraged to choose their own tools, management
being essentially libertarian, and I adopted OS/2 for my workstation long
ago while everyone else was waiting for Chicago.  Since then I have
invested in it, and for me to migrate to NT would involve considerable
effort (learning new apps and rejigging REXX calls, for example.) I do
have Win95 on another partition, and increasingly I am forced to use it --
for example, to run some Win32s 1.30 apps, or to work with the latest WP
and Word documents.

There is some quiet, practical pressure for me to abandon OS/2 whenever
something like this comes up.  For years I have been finding solutions and
demonstrating that, at the system level anyway, OS/2 is every bit as
capable as Win32 if not more so.  Luckily, with the help of people such as
you, I am a fast study.

Under these circumstances, getting the network changed on my behalf is out
of the question. It is enough to ask the admin to add a protocol driver
for NetBEUI -- and I gather and deeply hope that this alone can solve the
SYS0234 error.  If the NT resource is C$, offers shared folders, or has
other inconvenient properties, that's just tough for me -- and OS/2.

At Uli Wortmann's suggestion I ran NET VIEW.  Here is the output:

Sure enough, there are long comments - but it seems to accept them, as far
as it goes.  Unfortunately at the end there is that "more data" message.

The IBMLAN.INI file suggestions offered by Richard Ashton are already in
place (though I can only aspire to BOFH!).

There is an APAR for SYS0234:

--
APAR#: IC15963
. . .
ERROR DESCRIPTION

Shared Resources and Network Connections GUI displays sys0234 
on connections page when connected to a server that has more 
than 4K of data returned on the NetShareEnum call. 
Click on Shared Resources
Click on Connections page
Click on create connection
Click on a server that has numerous shares on it (>4K of data) 
Error pops up sys0234:More data is available
--

It occurs to me that SYS0234 might be returned for more than one reason,
and that this APAR fixes only one of them. (Another APAR fixes a false
SYS0234 from WRPRINT, for example.)  Perhaps there are other causes with
no fix yet. 

Meanwhile, I have advised the admin that the NetBEUI install is back on
after all, and I'll let you know what happens when he gets around to it.

Once again, thanks to all.

PS The Dejanews reports said 8402 worked -- but that's what I installed. 
Maybe you can't use CSF 1.39 with it though. I'm downloading 8412 as I
write -- I see it includes CSF 1.39.
