If I use an IP number other than 127.0.0.1 for my invisible NIC card then the
search engine for VisualAge For Java (phew) doesn't work.  Looks like I hit
the right and only IP number that would work.  Thank heavens for pure dumb

I thought about this and meant to do something about it, 8412 didn't
screw up the icons here. I have lost thes icons in the past and I
never did get them back I reinstalled for another reason.

Basically these are special icons and I assume specially made by the
install script probably *.rsp or *.cid or similar. With the latest
fixes you can loaddskf them to a: then xcopy the contents of a: back to
a sub directory c:\8412\ or similar if you do this with CSF139 onwards
too then you can install from the hard disk. FPINST network or
similar.

The REXX code for building the icon will be buried some where I would
search for /* on all files and look for things like

WPFolderCreate folowwedbyaloadofjumble and see if I could cut it out
and run it.

First the base os fixpack
second 8423
third 8412 for sure.
fourth tcpipbits if you really really rally need them

Subj: FTP long file names

From: Cityboy@Spam-No-More.Net

Long file names get truncated. Attempting to FTP from OS/390 to OS/2.
The OS/390 file is a standard dataset name. The intended recipiant
is an HPFS OS/2 machine:

PUT AL.P.PROD2.ACCOUNT.MASTER.DATA(0) +
 AL.P.PROD2.TEST.DOWNLOAD.MASTER.DATA.FILE

For some reason the receiving filename only arrives as something
like: AL.P.PR     the rest of the name is truncated even though the
data arrives completely.

For testing I directed the dataset to an NT machine and the dataset
name arrives intact. So it must be an OS/2 issue not an OS/390 issue.

The OS/2 machine is Warp 4 - FP11. It has the original GA tcp/ip
except the FTP programs have been updated (it did the same thing
with the GA FTP programs)

Any thoughts on what's the problem.

Thanks Ron

   Are you using HPFS on your OS/2 drive.  It would be necessary
to support long file names, as FAT does not.

Subj: InJoy Gateway

From: chadpaul@netexpress.net (chad pauli)

Hello,

I bought the 10 user verson of InJoy Gateway.

I have it installed and running.  The gateway machine can do TCP/IP 
between my LAN and the net.
I am unable to get my LAN clients to go out.
I managed at one time to get one client to work, but no others.
I fully deleated the InJoy and installed again.
Now I am unable to get any client to go out, just the gateway machine 
can do internet.

Below are two of my configuration files. 
Can anyone spot any problems or have any suggestions?

Chad Pauli

How do you have the internal network IP addresses assigned??

Do you have IPGATE ON in the SETUP.CMD file on the gateway machine??

Thank you for trying but I don't think the test you ran which looks
like OS/2 to OS/2 is a valid comparison. This truncation occurs going
OS/390 to OS/2.

Gotta be a strange setup of some kind - I get long filenames all teh

No doubt? From OS/390?  What might that "strange setup" be?

Do you have local loopback enabled?  Your 127.0.0.1 should be on that "card"
rather than your "invisible NIC".

From: "R.T. van Ovost" <van.ovost@inter.nl.net>

I have a SOHO with 1 desktop (WARP4), 4 desktops (W95) and 1 notebook
(W95).
The WARP comp. is connected to internet via cablemodem. Everything works
fine.
Now I have changed 1 desktop from W95 to Warp4.
Only Warp on the comp. no applicatons yet in order to get the basics
running first.
TCPIP and PEER service installed, but I cannot get TCPIP running.
File and printer sharing is oke (NETBEUI) so the adapter is oke, but no
TCPIP.

Pinging to the other comp in the net does not work.
I have changed the TCPIP settings to all kinds of variations but to no
avail.
What am I missing??

Subj: Netscape WWW_RegisterProtocol doesn't work

From: lampsstgt@aol.com (Lamps stgt)

i am using dde to implement navigation support in my application. i used the
topic 
WWW_RegisterProtocol (with protocol 'file'). 
After a filename was requested by netscape, i get a WM_DDE_INITIATE with topic
'WWW_OpenURL'. Then i send back WinDdeRespond(HwndNetscape, myHwnd,
myName,"WWW_OpenURL", &Context) and get a WM_DDE_TERMINATE (!). 
But how can i get the requested filename? I'm missing 
something like WM_DDE_REQUEST or WM_DDE_DATA. 

The same behaviour when i'm using topic WWW_RegisterURLEcho - i get a
WM_DDE_INITIATE with topic 'WWW_URLEcho' but no data containing the URL.

what's wrong? 
Thanks, Thomas

What are the IP address assignments that you have used?

Depending on the IP addresses and the NETMASK setting
the two machines may not be visible to each other.

For example:

If Machine ONE is connected to the cable modem it will have
an IP address that is for the external network

say: IP = 202.101.202.45 NETMASK 255.255.255.0
and a router(gateway) of 202.101.202.1

Machine TWO may have an IP address of 10.1.1.101
netmask 255,255,255,0

Machine ONE will decide that Machine TWO is only available
through the gateway/router as they are not in the same subnet
(first three octets of the IP address matching - this is decided by
the NETMASK) and will send the PING packets off to the
gateway/router to find Machine TWO. The router will not be
able to locate Machine TWO.

Machine ONE will have to have an alias defined that is on
the same subnet as machine TWO.

The SETUP.CMD file in \MPTN\BIN for Machine ONE would have
to have configuration commands like this:

ifconfig lan0 202.101.202.45 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 0 mtu 1500
ifconfig lan0 10.1.1.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias
route add default 202.101.202.1 -hopcount 1

The SETUP.CMD file in \MPTN\BIN for Machine TWO would have
to have configuration commands like this:

ifconfig lan0 10.1.1.102 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 0 mtu 1500
route add default 202.101.202.1 -hopcount 1

   The test I ran was from OS/2 to Linux RedHat 6.0 and back to
OS/2 again.  I could go to the Linux machine or a Sun machine,
and try it from there, but I don't think it would be any
different.

From: Andrew Cannon <cannon@sonic.net>

Thanks for everyone's help.

I solved the problem is solved I lowered some adapter parameters using
MPTS.  Apparently,  the defaults did not go well with my adapter.

Thanks, again.

Doh!  This is supremely odd... TCP/IP 4.0 or 4.1?  Strange - 127.0.0.1 should
be on the 'lo' (local loopback) interface only...  Oh well ... I suppose it
works, don't complain, eh?  :-)

Subj: Re: InJoy Gateway

From: Britton Robbins <brobbin2@rochester.rr.com>

For this to work,  Each client must have the DNS server IP addresses for
your ISP's DNS servers setup in the networking parameters.

In OS/2, open the TCP/IP Configuration Notebook,  Click on the HOSTNAMES
tab,  Click in the Nameserver Address box then click on the ADD button.
Enter the DNS addresses from either your ISP or if the ISP is using, DHCP
you can retrieve the DNS addresses from the DHCP monitor program.

In Win95/98 Right click on Network Neighborhood,  Click on Properties,  in
the list, select "TCP/IP ->your network adapter" then click on the
properties button.  Select the DNS tab and add the DNS addresses from your
ISP.
Next, click the Gateway tab and make sure the IP address of the gateway
machine's "local" NIC.

There is more, but start with checking this stuff.

Subj: Re: a hung system with PEER...

From: Britton Robbins <brobbin2@rochester.rr.com>

What I have found is that the ORDER of the statements is important.  What has
always worked for me is moving the NIC driver statements,
in your case:
DEVICE=D:\IBMCOM\MACS\KTC100.OS2
DEVICE=D:\IBMCOM\MACS\DLKFET.OS2

Move them to right AFTER this line in the config.sys as follows:
CALL=D:\OS2\CMD.EXE /Q /C D:\MPTN\BIN\MPTSTART.CMD >NUL
DEVICE=D:\IBMCOM\MACS\KTC100.OS2
DEVICE=D:\IBMCOM\MACS\DLKFET.OS2

Hope this helps,

Britton

If got TCP 4.1.  Grabbed it while it was free.  I agree that I should not
need a dummy LAN interface enabled but what the hang...  Now slowly getting
familiar with JAVA and re acquainting myself with DB2.  Since I am moving
into the application field, most likely future queries will either in the
OS/2 app group or the DB2 group,  Maybe even JAVA although I haven't gone
looking for a group there yet.  Thanks again.

Subj: OS/2 Dialup With REXX

From: "Jordan Reed" <reedjd@bitsmart.com>

  I'm running Warp4 and interested in doing a little automation of the dialup
process, but not sure how possible it is.  I like to have a REXX script that
will automatically connect me to the internet and than preform a bunch of
tasks for me.  I'm currently using the builtin "Dial Other Internet
Providers" to connect to my ISP.  Is this possible to work from command line?
 Suggestions?

I just use ppp directly that reads a ppp config file with a connect option
using
slattach to parse the ISPs login prompt.  I believe there are some REXX
scripts
available on hobbes.  Back in warp 3 days I hacked the ANNEX_UCB_PPP.CMD
script.  Basically all I did for that is make it pay attention how the server
returns
strings like Login or login or Username,...

Start with a file called ppdial21.cmd, available at hobbes - I
 believe that was the last version, which will do the dialing for
 you.

It has hooks built into that will call other programs after getting a
 connection.

I built my own script using pppfake.

It basically take the output from slippm and writes it to a file.

This is what it outputs... Ignore  "start /fs /f /c" it was done so
 as to spawn a separate window while another process continued.

The values for the dialing are taken from slippm, so you must fill
 out the DOIP values for this to work


=== Cut ===
           start  /FS /F /C ppp.exe com1 115200 mru 1500 rtscts reneg
 modem defaultroute priority 1 notify exit user the_username  name
 the_username secret the_password connect "pppdial.cmd"
=== Cut ===

PPPdial.cmd = ppdial21.zip and it does the redialing.

I had a script that dialed got my mail and news and then hungup, but
 since I have gone to ADSL I can't seem to find it. I will keep
 looking.

That's all you'll ever get.  Intuit thought they were being clever, installing
a whole new TCP/IP stack, which of course won't work with Winos2.

Thanks Lorne,

The Warp4 with gateway to internet has 2 NIC's.
One is 10.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0.

The new comp has 10.1.1.5 netmaks 255.255.255.0
So, they should see each other normally. (They do when the comp runs W95 with
same IP)

The Warp4 with gateway to internet has Injoy Gatway.
No fumbling with the tcpip setup on the new comp., it shows that the other
computers in the LAN (W95) are not able to pick up their mail at their pop
account. They get a connection, the number of mail is passed, but the mail
cannot actually fetched?

When I install W95 on the new comp and reboot the WArp4 (with gateway etc.)
the mail can be fetched again.
So, their must be something wrong that messes up the router, gateway or
whatever.

I'm back to square one. Changing one comp does change the whole LAN!?

Ron.

Check out ISDNPM 2.9 (on LEO or ftp://ftp.uni-freiburg.de/pub/pc/os2/isdn/).
You can talk to this dialler via a pipe from a REXX script using the TCP/IP
REXX FTP API (part of Warp 4) to automate downloads etc.
From V2.9 it will talk to a normal modem as well as an ISDN card. 
There is an adequate example script included in the .zip file to get you
started.
I used to schedule it using IBM Works to do large downloads during the
night.

Let me know if this is right or wrong

Gateway Machine (Warp 4)
LAN0 is NIC connected to the cablemodem
LAN1 is NIC to the local network
x.x.x.x  is the ISP cablemodem address
y.y.y.y is the ISP gateway/router

The SETUP.CMD should look like this

ifconfig LAN0 x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig LAN1 10.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default y.y.y.y
ipgate on

Warp Two machine SETUP.CMD

ifconfig LAN0 10.1.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default 10.1.1.1
ipgate off

With this setup you should be able to PING from one
Warp machine to the other using the 10.1.1.X addresses.

Warp One should be able to PING 10.1.1.5
and x.x.x.x and y.y.y.y

With the gateway started Warp Two
should be able to PING 10.1.1.1 and x.x.x.x and y.y.y.y

The Win95 machines should have their router/gateway set to 
10.1.1.1 as well and their IP addresses set to 10.1.1.2
10.1.1.3 10.1.1.4 and so on

Try starting only the two Warp machines and make sure
they work properly. Browser access, E-Mail and all that

After that bring up one of thw W95 boxes and see if it
works. If it does not shutdown the Warp Two machine
and see if that makes a difference.

Let me know what happens...

You can have my telnet scripts. You can put your ISP specifics into
them. The ip address and port to telnet to and your user id and

You can have them for free. just mail me and i will return them to you.

You can call SLIPPM.EXE (DOIP) with and argument of the entry to dial...
   SLIPPM ADVANTIS

...dials into my advantis account automatically.

After you tasks are done, you can use a process killer to terminate SLIPPM.

You can also get:
 ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/internet/ppp/pppfk101.zip

which, when temporarily used instead of PPP, will create a CMD file with the
arguments sent to it (by any dialer that uses PPP.exe)

Again, you'll probably want a task killer to terminate PPP.EXE when the
dialup is done.

From: tvoltagg@home.com

I have a 2 computer peer network with the #1 computer connected
to a cable modem via a second NIC.  The #1 runs Win95b and the
#2 runs Warp 4 FP 11 with Netscape 4.61 Beta2 and TCP/IP 4.1.
I'm having trouble configuring TCP/IP in the Warp machine because
I can't get secures web sites (which need the Socks Server) to connect.
The Proxy software is Internet Gate 1.46 and I have been in touch
with the author who swears it's the TCP/IP configuration.  If I boot
to Win95b in the #2 computer, I connect OK to secure sites.
Any help would be qppreciated.

Subj: Changing Subnet mask in 2.3.1

From: "Charles Peck" <chpeck@worldnet.att.net>

Hello all,

I'm trying to set a subnet mask on a system that is running OS2 2.3.1. It
seems to look at the IP adress I have in it, and won't let me set it to a
class B adress. The IP adress that I have for the syetm is a class C, but I
need to set the sunet mask to a B.

Any way around it?

I'm pretty sure you should have internal_net un-commented. This is to keep
outside machines from fooling Injoy and using up a license. For example,
if all your internal machines used 192.168.100.x addresses, then this line
should be

internal_net=192.168.100.0

Also make sure that ip forwarding is turned on in TCP/IP configuration.You
can test this quickly without rebooting by typing

ipgate on

at a command prompt.

From: baden@unixg.ubc.ca   (Baden Kudrenecky)

Hi Bob:

   I think that you are doing WAY too much work, and it's
counterproductive.

   PPP works automagically all by itself, all that you have to
do is ensure that the word 'NONE' is in the connection box.  All
the other stuff that you are concerned about will be
automatically configured.

I have my reasons; there are complications that I didn't want to have 
to explain.

In any case, all I am doing is exactly what the dialer does; invoke 
PPP with the right parameters. It's just that I want to do some other 
tasks after the connection, and the script does that work for me.

I UNDERSTAND THAT; the problem is that it is automagically doing it 
WRONG. It is negotiating and setting up the wrong routes!

Subj: Two things about InJoy Firewall

From: "Graham" <norrisg@nospamlinkline.com>

The first thing is that despite its name, it isn't apparently a "firewall"
by any normal definition of the word unless you pay extra for the Pro
version. The standard version is a gateway with NAT and no filtering
capabilities. Since the unregistered version only works as a gateway, you
don't discover the problem until you've bought it. Buyer beware.

The second is that it appears to have a gaping hole. My machine has 2
NICs, one with a private IP address attached to an internal LAN and one
with an ISP supplied IP address and an ADSL modem. I'm using TCP/IP 4.1
with recent maintenance applied. When the gateway is up, systems on the
internal LAN can see out (ping works for example), and so can the system
running InJoy Firewall. When the gateway is down, systems on the internal
LAN can't see out: so far so good. The problem is that with the gateway
down, there is still access to the outside world from the system running
InJoy Firewall.

The fact that access to the outside world is possible with the gateway
down suggests that InJoy Firewall provides no protection of the machine
running it. This is highly undesirable as if the firewall machine itself
is vulnerable, so is everything else.

Since InJoy Firewall uses a device driver (FXWRAP) between TCP/IP and the
normal driver, it ought to block access when the gateway is down. I'm
currently down-ing the lan connection when the gateway is down to avoid
this problem, but I don't think it should be necessary to do so. The fact
that there exists this hole with the gateway down leads me to suspect that
it also exists when the gateway is up: in other words, I don't think InJoy
Firewall is processing any traffic to/from my ADSL modem when the target
system is the one running InJoy Firewall itself.

I hope I'm wrong about both of these things, so if someone can explain how
to make InJoy Firewall standard perform filtering and how to automatically
prevent access to the outside world with the gateway down, I'd love to
hear about it.

Graham.

Subj: switching from modem to network adapter

From: David Trevino <david@trevino.org>

I have an old machine with OS/2 Warp 3.  The machine had
a modem I used to connect to the internet.  Recently I
replace the modem with a network adapter, and installed
the Novell Netware client so it connects to my LAN just fine.

The problem I have is that Webexploer (or any TCPIP app)
still want to use the dialer and the modem (no longer installed)
to dial to the net.

where can I find the TCPIP stack files so I can use my
current LAN internet connection?

Thanks

I'm using the TCP/IP that came with Warp 4, abnd DHCP works just fine.


I had to do a REinstall, to get Warp 4 to install 4 additional folders.  Two
folders 
in OS/2 Systems Setup, and one on Programs, that has a Utilites sub folder, of 

Ping, Gopher, FTP, PMFTP, ect..  Basically, the two folders in programs is not
for seting up the cards (I've two different Ethernet cards ISA, and PCI).  Use 
the
MPTS to set up the two cards, then the TCPIP folder to set up the TCPIP
features
you want activated.  Opps, two other folder, DHCP, and DHCP Monitor are also 
created in the setup folder.  I guess thats 6 ex5tra folders, after the
reinstallation, 
with hardware detection set on.

This week they are switching from requiring us to have DDNS set on, to now 
be set off.  Anyway, the Cable Modem Sympatico only will give support to
Win 9* users, so all of us using real OS are flying blind as absolutly no OS/2
support is provided.  I guess you got the same NO TECH SUPPORT down their?

I think the icons for WebExplorer, NR/2, etc. actually start a programme
called "LINKUP" which tests for a modem connection, then starts the
programme in question. I find this immensely irritating, but I suppose
IBM has it's reasons...

I can't remember exaclty how it goes for Warp 3.0, but for Warp 4.0 there
are actually two sets of icons, one for a LAN and one for a modem, which
are differentiated by WebExplorer (LAN) and WebExplore (Modem), etc.
Otherwise, you'll have to go around changing your icons to point to the
programmes directly, rather than "LINKUP".

Hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure that the documentation in the shareware package mentions which
features are included in which product. That information is also available at
BMTMicro and fx.dk.

Besides, even with the base product, as long as all the machines on your local
network use reserved addresses (i.e., 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x) they are quite
safe.

IMHO, that's the way it has to be. There has to be a sacrifical lamb on the
Internet to alllow access to the other machines. Many sites are run though
hardware-based firewalls for this reason. Although such hardware-based
solutions are expensive, they are also tougher to crack.

It's still way better to have to secure only ONE machine, the one running the
firewall, than ALL of them.

You're right. That's in the docs too.

I'm sure it's in the documentation somewhere, but I still haven't finished
reading all that stuff!

You might have to open up firewall.cf and change it to block all traffic by
default to get that to work. I haven't done so because I have all my machines
on reserved addresses (which is already a reasonable level of security) and it
would be a pain to have to figure out which ports I need to open up. The only
problem I'm having is getting that NETBIOS filter to actually work. Scans
still show port 139 open.

Just done the same myself.

1. If you have an ATI Rage video card, revert to VGA before installing
the new NIC. All I got was traps in SINGLEQ$ on WPS startup using the
ATI drivers. Reinstall the ATI drivers afterwards. Odd, but true.

2. InJoy Firewall isn't, it is a gateway unless you buy the Professional
version.

3. InJoy Firewall does not appear to protect the machine running it at
all, only the other machines connected through it.

This old chestnut is apparently kept alive by MS networking folk who 
don't understand how their own systems work.

While NetBuei is, in fact, the transport layer for the NetBios API, the 
two terms are essentially synonymous, since any NetBios 
formatted message will be sent by the NetBuei layer. The original 
poster is not confusing the two, he is simply using shorthand.

All windows networking is based on NetBios calls. The SMB 
protocol that is at the heart of Windows Networking relies on 
NetBios. The fact that the NB packets may then be piggybacked on a 
TCP/IP datagram is inconsequential because NB is still required. 
When TCP/IP suppport is enabled on a Windows box, NB/IP is also 
enabled and is then used to carry NB formatted SMB messages 
between the peers and servers on the network. Because the peeling 
of the SMB/NB messages out of the IP packets is done at a higher 
layer in the stack than straight NB, a NetBios/NetBuei only machine 
will not be able to communicate with a machine that has NB/IP 
enabled - it will need to have NB/IP enabled as well or instead.

And the silly nonsense about NB clogging the network is based on a 
fundamental misunderstanding of how shared media networks work. 
Apparently the poster imagines that IP datagrams somehow 
magically are only sent to the intended receipient machines - in fact, 
EACH AND EVERY HOST ON ANY LOCAL SEGMENT SEES EACH 
AND EVERY LAYER 2 FRAME THAT IS TRANSMITTED ON THE 
SEGMENT. This is the meaning of "shared media" - it is a baseband 
technology where the entire available bandwidth of the media (the 
wire) is consumed by one and ONLY one transmitter at a time and 
ALL hosts that are connected to the segment will see the the exact 
same signal waveform. 

The incorrect notion that NB is inefficient apparently stems from the 
query / response nature of the protocol. What this silly notion 
ignores is the fact that IP does the same query / response dance in 
order to translate the IP network address into a hardware layer 2 
MAC address - it's called ARP and Reverse ARP, and because 
running Windows networking over IP means that you are 
sandwiching NB packets inside IP datagrams, the fact is that NB/IP 
(which, in addition to requiring a lot more CPU attention, results in a 
large increase in the size of the datagram due to the additional 
overhead of the packaging), is by FAR, the less efficient of the two. 
(sigh)

So long as there are no routers between the boxes that need to 
communicate, straight NetBios is *always* the better choice for file 
and print services. Note that NB *can* be bridged, so this caveat 
does not apply where bridging is being used instead of routing.

I haven't tried it myself, so I hope that I have not misunderstood the notes

There is currently a thread 'modem mit ISDNPM' in de.comp.os.os2.misc.

I contacted him by email some time ago at mywi@ruf.uni-freiburg.de, but
you have probably tried that.

There are frequent posts on ISDNPM in de.comp.os.os2.setup and
de.comp.os.os2.networking if you can read a little German.
I seem to remember a thread on paketfilter a couple of months back

Subj: Re: Two things about InJoy Firewall

From: do not e-mail to <student@sau.edu>

Hello,

    For me, at this time I do not mind that the gateway (my OS/2 machine ) is
always accessable. I also understand that all options need to be paid for to
get the filter, and Firewall. I have just purchased the 10 user gateway for
now. When I get that part running, I will buy the others. The filter would be
nice, because all I want is just TCP/IP to pas out, no IPX/SPX or netbios or
netb.

My only funny problem is right now, only the gateway machine can get out.
I did have one client only working, none others. reloaded and etc and tried
some reconfiguring and nothing is working.

Between working with and learning Linux at school and playing with my OS/2, I
think in the end I will have a Linux machine running all my firewall and
gateway.
But I do like OS/2 and the InJoy Product. Just a matter of figuring out what I
have configured wrong. I might put up a web page with all my screen shots of
my settings and stuff. Maybe someone can spot the problem.  But that is in a
few weeks.

I have purchased the Intel dual port server netcard. It has two built in
ethernet ports.
I might try that in OS/2 and see how it works with InJoy maybe.

It appears that you found the one case that "works."

I tried various combinations of WSEB/Warp 4/Linux and found:

1. WSEB client really does not work. The mount can be made to
   work with WSEB server, but pretty quickly data gets corrupted
   on server. I found a simple, reproducable case and tried to report
   this, and some other failures, to IBM, but no response. 
2. WSEB server sortof works. I can use NFS-2 (from Warp 4) on WSEB
   clients. The main problem with this is that now and then the 
   server NFS locks up. Since the server is now in the kernel, this
   requires a server reboot -- not good. Remember the good old days
   when NFS server was a plain program, so when it crashed you just
   restarted it??
3. I can mount on WSEB from Linux client, and this seems to work as
   well as 2. above. 
4. Most of the examples in the WSEB TCPIP documentation result in
   mount rejects. 

Basically, I think WSEB NFS is unusable. I am waiting for some large
Bank to try it and explain to IBM what needs to be done.

With IBM Solutions TCPIP 4.1, DHCP needs to configured by adding an option
to a cfg file...

Ha!! - thats good news !!!  - Actually @home is running out of IP's in the 
24.x.x.x
block, so they are/will be requiring their users to give up their static 
IP's as
they switch over to DHCP only :(((

Yep - but the @home folks here in Denver/Aurora CO have been real helpful, 
of
course there is no official help for OS/2, but between their helpful 
attitude,
and these news.groups, OS/2 was quite simple to set up !!! 

If you haven't been using OS/2 (or any other non-MS OS), and are just 
starting,
these news.groups are a must use life-saver !!!

Later,

It would appear you are quite correct.  I bought InJoy Firewall 1.2 about 2
weeks
ago - I assumed that it was a "firewall" as described in the docs - however
when
I sent the following to injoy sales/support:

*** SNIP ***
I'm pretty sure I purchased InJoy Firewall (1.2)...  I'm
really quite a novice (with a static IP and a cable modem !!)

My primary concern was with internet security, am I correct in
saying that I've bought Injoy Firewall plus the gateway stuff
for 5 machines for $55.00 ??   If not, then why is is it called
InJoy Firewall ??
*** SNIP ***

I then recived the following exerpt from:

Bjarne Jensen (on holiday)
President, F/X Communications.

*** SNIP ***
The product is called the InJoy Firewall, but the security is offered
with granularity.. E.g., when you get the "standard" version (which
I refferred to as the gateway) of the firewall, then you have security
for the internal clients, but in a totally unconfigurable way.. With the 
firewall plugin, which is part of the PRO version, you have extra options 
.
*** SNIP ***


While dissapointing, it does mention the "granularity" in the docs.
I took the "extra options" part to mean "real internet security".

Unfortunatley, I don't even have a network - nor do I need a gateway :(

I say - support our OS/2 programmers that are out their writing good
OS/2 software !!

Maybe I'll just fork over the extra $30 and buy what I thought
I'd already bought - and than again - maybe I won't...  And life goes on...

Later,
Mark

Subj: Just a Tip for WARP Server with Win9x clients

From: Falko Tesch <falko.tesch@bigfoot.com>

Hi,

After being bugged with some strange behaviour of my Win9x client I 
finally found out what isthe cause. So I want to spread the wealth :o)

The network is a OS/2 WARP Server 4 / LAN Server 5 with the IBM 
Neighbourhood Browser Enabler running.
The problems was that all the Win9x client were only randomly seeing 
the network in their Network Neighbourhood folder.
I finally figured out that accessing a mapped network drive right away 
when the Win9x desktop was coming (e.g. copying a file from a mapped 
drive to a local one via a batch that was started in the AutoStart 
folder) it could result in ?crashing? the browser.
Delaying this will result in a 100% availability of the Network 
Neighbourhood Browsing!

CU/2
Falko

Subj: telnetd Login banner for Warp?

From: Ray Garcia <rayg@ssec.wisc.edu>

Does anyone know of a simple configuration option to allow a login
banner file for telnetd? So far as I've looked, the best way to do this
seems to be to write a wrapper for TNLOGIN.EXE . 

Thanks in advance for any help or advice, and please feel free to email
me.
