Subj: Hybrid DOIP Cable Modem Setup

From: "John Dubeck" <jbdubeck@erols.com>

My cable company has not yet upgraded to 2-way internet service.  The
service uses the domain name ex-pressnet.com.

I need to use DOIP to send uplink information and I need to configure an
ethernet card to connect via DHCP for downloads   I have fiinally been able
to log in, but cannot open any web pages.

I have configured DOIP as one normally would for a dynamic IP assignment,
i.e., leave the IP, Destination and netmask fields blank.

I have set the TCP/IP configuration for DHCP and configured the router page
with the destination IP 24.239.0.1 and the router as 10.0.0.1 and I have
check IP forwarding.

When I dial in, I get a connection and the login and password are
acknowledged.  For example, on one login I got the dialog in the DOIP info
that I had a connection with a local IP of 24.239.5.91 and a remote IP of
24.239.0.7.

The x:\tcpip\dos\etc\resolv file has the nameservers entered.  But, Netscape
4.04 cannot find any sites.

The only configuration information provided for windoze is that the static
IP address should be specified as 10.0.0.1.  When I dial DOIP, I get a
warning that a lan adapter is detected and that network resources may not be
available.  Not too encouraging.

Any suggestions for getting over the hump would be appreciated.

Subj: Re: Hybrid DOIP Cable Modem Setup

From: maxikins@os2bbs.com (Mark Klebanoff)

I've got Warp4 working with that hybrid ex-pressnet system just fine. 
Here's what I did (published in the VOICE newsletter about a year ago.
 This is long, and you may have already done this, but look it over 
and let me know if you have any questions- I can check my TCPIP 
settings.  First thing I did was "borrow" a copy of Win95, install it 
on an unused partition in my computer and get ex-pressnet working 
there.  Note that my ex-pressnet version doesn't use DHCP, so you may 
be better off  unchecking it.


There were two noteworthy points about the Win95 setup:  1) in the 
TCP/IP
settings for the ethernet card, they give you a static IP address to 
type
in.  Once I did that, Win95 supplied a subnet mask automatically.  In 
my
case it was 255.0.0.0.  I wrote that down, because I'd need it later. 
2)
When configuring the dial-in connection, all you do is type in your 
user
name and password.  You accept all the other defaults, which includes 
having
the server assign the domain nameserver (DNS) address.  That would be 
a
minor problem later in Warp.

Once you get it set up in Win95, log on to the cable, open a DOS 
window and
type 'winipcfg' (no quotes).  You'll get a graphical display 
explaining all
the characteristics of your connection.  The most important part is to
look
at the part where they give you the DNS addresses (there are usually 
2, and
you have to push the radio button next to that area to toggle between 
them
and see what they are).  You'll need that in setting up Warp, so write
it
down.  While you're there, write down the Host Name and Domain Name 
you see
there.  You now have all the information you need to set up warp.

Now it's time to start up Warp.  Warp 4 supports this, and I'm pretty 
sure
that Warp 3 Connect also does, but plain old Warp 3 does not include 
the
necessary networking services.  Once I fired up Warp 4, I went to the 
system
setup folder, and clicked on Adapters and Protocol Services, then on 
the
"Configure" button and then I clicked to configure Lan Adapters and
Protocols.  The list of supported Network Cards is in the upper left 
hand
window.  My card wasn't listed (it was produced after Warp 4 came 
out), so I
clicked on the "other adapter" button.  Warp prompted me to insert the
disk
containing the drivers and I inserted the driver disk that came with 
the
network card.  I selected my card from the list, clicked OK and then 
my card
was listed in the supported cards window.  I highlighted my card and 
clicked
"Add."  My card was now listed in the window at the bottom of the 
screen.  

Next, I highlighted my card in that window, and clicked on "TCP/IP" in
the
"Supported Protocols" box at the top right of the screen, and clicked 
the
"Add" button.  That bound TCP/IP to my network card.  I could tell 
because
TCP/IP was listed underneath my card at the bottom of the screen.  I
highlighted TCP/IP at the bottom of the screen and clicked on 
configure.
Warp prompted me for a number for my adapter.  I'm not sure if it 
matters
what number you put in there, but I entered "23," which I think is the
code
for a dial-up adapter.  After I did that, I closed that window, and 
then
clicked on OK to go back to the configure screen, then "Close" on the
configure screen, and finally, "Exit" on the MPTS screen.  MPTS made 
some
changes to my CONFIG.SYS FILE, so I shut down and re-booted my 
computer.  On
the boot up, my network card was recognized at IRQ 9 which was the IRQ
I
told the BIOS to hold open for Plug-and-Play devices.  All my other 
cards,
such as modems and sound card, are configured manually, but the 
ethernet
card must be configured by the BIOS.  

Next, I went back to the System Setup Folder and opened the TCP/IP
configuration program.  The first tab to come up was entitled 
"Network."  I
highlighted "Lan Interface 0," then checked the "Enable Interface" 
box.  I
checked the "Manually" box, and entered the IP address that the Cable
Company gave me, as well as the Subnet Mask that Windoze95 had 
generated. 
Next, I brought up the "Hostnames" tab, and entered the Host Name I 
got from
Windows95 in the proper place.  I also entered the domain name that 
the
Cable company supplied in where prompted.  Next I clicked on the 
Nameserver
addresses area and clicked on the "Add" button.  I entered the address
of
the first Name server that I copied from Windows 95 and clicked OK.  I
clicked on Add again and entered the IP address of the second Name 
server. 
That's all I needed to enter into the TCP/IP configuration settings.  
I
closed the settings program.  Warp asked me if I wanted to save the 
settings
and I responded yes.

Finally, I brought up Dial Other Internet Providers and clicked on the
New
Connection Button.  I made up a name and description for the 
connection and
typed in my user ID and password in all upper case letters, just as in
Windoze95.  I entered the phone number the Cable company supplied, 
left the
word "NONE" in the login sequence (which is what Warp put there by 
itself)
and checked the box that said "PPP."

On Page 2 of the DOIP configuration settings, I left "your IP 
address,"
"destination IP address" and "Netmask" blank.  Leaving them blank will
allow
the dial-in server to assign them automatically.  I kept the default 
MRU
size of 1500 and the already-checked VJ compression.  Finally, I 
inserted
one of the domain nameserver addresses and my domain name.  I left the
host
name blank.  I left the third page of the settings notebook blank (I 
can
configure those servers separately in my e-mail and news programs, but
I
think they're necessary if you use Ultimail Lite and Newsreader/2). 
Finally, I configured my modem on page 4.

When I tried to connect, everything connected up, but I couldn't 
access
anything.  PMMail stalled on "Resolving Host Name," and Netscape 
stalled on
"looking up address."  The problem was in my MPTN/ETC directory, where
I had
an old version of the file entitled RESOLV.  That simple text file 
includes
the name and IP address of the Domain Name Servers that your internet
connection will use, and I had a some old, erroneous information in 
there. 
I simply erased that RESOLV file and tried again.  Lo and behold, I 
was able
to connect to the internet over my Cable TV.   Once I got DOIP 
configured
and running, I transferred those same setings to In-Joy (which I like 
better
than DOIP).  I had to erase the 'RESOLV' file again, but once I did 
that,
In-Joy worked fine, too.  I blew away Windows 95, and my computer 
again
became a (mostly) Micro$oft-free zone.

I'm making this sound easier than it was, since I've spared you all 
the
mistakes I made along the way.  Still, even with mistakes, configuring
Win95
took about 1 or 2 hours, and configuring Warp didn't take longer than 
about
half a day.  The whole project is a good 2 weekend bit of work (or two
consecutive days on a single weekend if you have the time)- one to 
string
the TV cable, and a second to set up Win95 and Warp.

Subj: Re: OS/2 v1.3 Disk Labels?

From: jsjones@selectric.net

There is only a single, full-screen DOS box in 16-bit OS/2 and the prompt
"looks" 
like a DOS, not OS/2, prompt, by default. You get to it via a desktop icon
that is 
always there if DOS is enabled. DOS requires a PROTECTONLY=NO statement in 
the config.sys, just as with the most recent OS/2 version.

It uses whatever portion of the 640k base memory that is not used by OS/2 real 

mode device drivers, etc. If you pare that to a minimum, you can actually run 
Windows 286 2.11 in the session. I am fairly certain the DOS version reported 
to programs is 4.0.

OS/2 1.3 was a wonderful system. Very fast and stable. There are 1.x versions
of 
Word (both PM and text), Excel, PageMaker, Lotus 1-2-3 (PM and text),
Freelance, 
WordPerfect, and so on. It does preemptive multitasking and virtual memory on 
a 286. So much better than Windows 3.0, with similar memory requirements. Such 
a 
shame it wasn't the winner.

Do get the service pack to 1.3.2 from the IBM ftp sites; it's about 5 disk
images.

Hi!!

Does anybody know where I can get an OS/2 device driver  for a NetGear
FA410TX PCMCIA LAN card for my ThinkPad.  Apparently the people at NetGear
don't know that there is another OS besides Win NT or That other imitation
of an OS called Win95/98 :))

Any info would be appreciated!

Subj: Win98 cannot print on OS/2 printer

From: Mat Nieuwenhoven <mat.nieuwenhoven@icl.nl>

Hi,

I've got a small LAN where a HP deskjet is attached to an OS/2 machine.
The printer and some directories of this machine are shared. A Win98
machine on the LAN can see files and the printer on the OS/2 box, can
use the files but cannot use the printer: it always claims it is
offline. Has anyone an idea what can cause this?

Thanks, Mat Nieuwenhoven

Actually, using MS OS/2 1.3, I've run Windows 3.0 in the DOS box.
Notepad was fine, can't remember if Word 2 ran. I believe IBM's OS/2 1.3
had a much bigger DOS box because some devices drivers were outside the
real memory area.

Subj: Problems dialing to the Internet (Help please)

From: Sergi Ballester <balleste@boehringer-ingelheim.es>

Hi all,

First: Sorry for the crossposting

Second: The real problem:

I'm going through a problem that it may have been suffered by anybode
else.
The problem is that I can't connect to the Internet with my home machine
via modem (PPP).
One month ago I installed FP 10 (I don't know if one thing carried the
other), but I can't connect (I have been working with no problems for
the 3 last years). After this problem appeared I downloaded Injoy and
registered it (everybody say that it's a terrific app) with no success,
even tried SIO. I got a free account from one of the biggest spanish
providers with it own dialer called Teleline.

I'm trying all these dialers and providers:
"Dial other internet provider"   --> Redes tb + Airtelnet + Teleline
Injoy 2.2    ----> Redes tb + Airtelnet + Teleline
Infovia plus ---->  Teleline

The problem I'm getting is:
Call established.
My machine gets an IP adress from the provider.
After a few seconds the conections suddenly stops.

I have an account at ibm.net that works perfectly using IBM Dialer
(SLIP), but I don't want to use it due to fact that IBM is not a local
provider.

My machine is:
Clone P166 + 96MB + S3 Virge 2MB + US Robotics Sporter external 28.8 +
Warp 4.0 Spanish + FP 10 + SIO drivers

All this makes me thing about a problem with the TCP/IP setup, but I'm
not aware of me changing anything. Any idea out there??

TIA,
Sergi Ballester (Sabadell, Spain)

PMFJI, but this has got me interested!  MS AND IBM had an OS/2 and
BOTH were v1.3?(  I've got the IBM version and the files are dated
Apr., '91)  Do you know of a web site with any history of early OS/2?

Hi Sergi:

   The only simple solution that I can think of is that your
resolv files are not correct.  You may have a resolv and a
resolv2 file, and their contents should be something like:

domain <host (you)>
<nameserver ip #1>
<nameserver ip #2>

Subj: Saving a Word document on peer OS/2

From: milindr@bellsouth.net (Milind Rao)

I have an OS/2 machine and an NT machine on a peer setup.  If I try to
save a Word document on a shared drive on the OS/2 machine, it takes 
ages (3-4 minutes) for a 1 page document.  WI have tried various save 
options with no luck.  Saving the file on the NT machine and copying 
it to the OS/2 machine after I'm done is very fast.  But I'd like to

I wish I had the solution.  I am in the same boat on a Warp 4/W95 setup.  I
can print to the   
Canon BJC-250 attached to the W95 computer from OS/2, but cannot print to the
Canon BJC-610   
printer attached to the OS/2 computer from W95.  I certainly would appreciate
a solution as   
well.

Subj: Re: Hybrid DOIP Cable Modem Setup

From: "John B. Dubeck" <jbIGNOREdubeck@erols.com>

A most excellent response.  I was up quickly with your insights.  I had some
interesting problems of my own.  To configure the RealTek ethernet card, you
run a DOS program called pnpsetup.exe.  That program would stop early on with
a complaint that the LPT1 port was in use.  Why the adapter program needs to
access the parallel port, I will never know.  Anyway, I didn't have any
programs running that might access the parallel port, except for the print
spooler.  So, I used WatchCat to kill the spooler and, and, I got the same
error.  Eventually, I figured out from exploring the print driver that I
needed to select printer sharing.  Once I did that, the pnpsetup.exe program
was quite happy.

Thanks again.  I think it is curious that with all of the searching of the
relevant news groups both currently and through dejanews that I would have
found your instructions posted earlier.  

Anyway, I am very grateful.  Thank you.

Hmm. I have similar setup with a LaserJet 6 and NT and 98 print fine to
it. Just had to make sure the Printer Specific Format property was
turned on. Could also be that the Win98 drivers expect to have 2 way
comm with the printer.

Subj: Tools to analyze network performance?

From: Blowhards <engel003@mc.duke.edu>

We have an Ethernet, Warp Server 4.0 (Advanced, SMP) domain with NT 4.0
clients.  One of our workgroups is experiencing intermittent, serious
degradation of communication with our domain server, symtomized by
extremely slow logons, and sluggish reads and writes.

Can someone suggest some software tools that I can use to get to the
bottom of this problem.  What I have in mind is an application that I
could install on the clients that would monitor the network link at
intervals and keep a log of the performance.  Or, perhaps there is
something I could install on the server that would monitor the
connection with logged on clients.  Either way, I need a way to quantify
the performance drop-off (from some baseline) and also see if there is
any pattern to the disturbances (e.g. one user said that it's always
worse on Friday afternoons).

This is the first time I've delved into network performance like this,
so I'm unfamiliar with the tools available.

Thanks for any help.

This may be off the mark, but.....

If your OS/2 machine's drive is HPFS, it will try to ascertain the file
size before writing it to disk.  This is part of HPFS's toolset which
reduces / virtually eliminates fragmentation.  It tries to find a good
"fit" in available space.

Files being copied have sizes know precisely in advance.  Files coming
from Micros**t Weird are possibly of a size not known in advance to HPFS.

Just a guess.  BTW  - initial saves from StarOffice one OS/2 box to
another under Warp Server Advanced or Aurora are *also* slower - the first
time - than a CLI copy.  Subsequent saves after edits are lightning quick,
as are the "replicator" copies that make safety images on multiple
servers.

We are all HPFS or HPFS386 here.

YMMV!

After installing the apache code including emx lib I get sys182:

SYS0182: The operating system cannot run ***.

EXPLANATION: The application program cannot run on this version
of the OS/2 operating system.

ACTION: Reinstall the application and retry the command.  If the
error occurs again, contact the supplier of the application.

Anyone that manage to get apache to run under wsfeb, if yes what your setup?
Anything else that I might have to give an extra thought about?

Using this bit of REXX:

/**/
call RxFuncAdd 'SysLoadFuncs', 'REXXUTIL', 'SysLoadFuncs'
call SysLoadFuncs
call SysCreateObject 'LSPeerWorkstation',,
  'Shared Resources and'd2c(10)'Network Connections',,

If that doesn't work, then try replacing WC_NETSERV with WP_DESKTOP. That'll
create the object on the desktop and you can then move it to wherever you

From: JHB@jita.demon.co.uk (Jim Backus)

firstly a warning - I don't have a tape drive so it could all be very
different.

To share drives you need to open an object called Sharing and Connecting - it
should then be a matter of creating a share for the (tape) drive.

Of course this assumes you've already set up user accounts - IIRC you need
administrator priviledges to create shares.

From the Win 95 machine the drive should now be visible on Neighourhood
Network.

HyperACCESS Pro now includes remote desktop control.  It even
includes a reduced size package for the controlled computer.

I have been using HyperACCESS Pro for years, without any problems.

Subj: Neighborhood Server?

From: "Bill" <g13271@email.mot.com>

Need advice,
I want to set up a local dial in server for a Home owners assoc.

One line, one modem, maybe 10 users. Would like to set up PPP and serve a
web page and email.
Tried Linux for the last 2 weeks, and am giving up, and don't want to use NT
server. Any suggestions if OS2 will solve this for me. I have a copy of
"Warp".
Thanks
Bill

IBM's PPP Server for Warp works quite well. It is available from
Software Choice at
http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/asd-bin/doc/en_us/catalog.htm. You
will need a subscription to Software Choice in order to use this
package.

Might this all be related to the old "master browser" problem from
Win95/NT4 days? I don't know if it is but the symptoms are very much
the same as those produced when someone sets their local machine as the
"master browser" on a regular LAN.
