First, you'll need to add NetBIOS over TCP/IP in MPTS.  Then run 
\ibmlan\install\peerinst to update the protocol.ini file. Next you'll 
need some way to map the NetBIOS names to an IP address.  One method 
is to create an RFCNAMES.LST (similar in function to the Windows 
LMHOSTS) file. This is created in MPTS, by clicking on NetBIOS/IP and
selecting edit.  Then fill in the names & addresses.  The other is to
create a DOMAINSCOPE server.

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: TCP-IP connection problem

From: "Karl M. Beem" <karlbeem@mindspring.com>

  	My 3 machine Peer network uses NETBEUI.  The NICs  are also
configured for  TCPIP so that they can share a cable modem (the modem  has
its own NIC on the  machine with the Injoy Firewall software).  The setup 
works as long as TCPIP  works, that is, as long as I can PING host or Ping 
192.168.x.y.  I have 2  problems: 1) sometimes on bootup of one of the
machines,  the Pinging doesn't  work.  This is always rectified by calling
MPTStart.cmd  again (this  essentially calls \mptn\bin\setup.cmd).  There is
a call to  MPTStart in my  config.sys.  2) Sometimes a machine will lose
Pinging  capability.  Again a  call to MPTStart solves the problem.  There is
nothing wrong with the NETBEUI  part.  Even tho I can't PING the server, its
drives are visible. 	What's going on here?  I now have TCP\IP 4.1 on
all machines - the problem   seemed to start following the installation of
4.1 on at least one of the   machines.  My network just ran  for 43 hours
w/out a problem until I had to  shut down one of the clients, I lost the
ability to PING the other client from  the server and then, when I rebooted
the original client, it couldn't connect  to the server's resources.  Finally
I shut them all down and rebooted the  clients after the server rebooted.  
Now everything's ok.  This seems very  fragile.  Is it normal?  I didn't have
these problems until I enabled TCPIP.

It's part of the Unix and Windows networking API.  He said he didn't want

I'd check you're not 'losing' routes. I've had problems (earlier 
version) with routes just disppearing.

Do a netstat -r on startup, and look again when it fails. On each 
machine.

Acutally (nitty picky) there are really no standard C functions...

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.

Subj: Warp 4 as Print Server for Linux

From: "David J. Allen" <jallen@cts.com>

I have Warp 4 (FP11) as a Samba client for a Linux (RedHat 5.2) server.
Peer Services are running on Warp. I have exported my printer (Epson
Stylus Photo EX), which is attached to the Warp box, as a share to the
network.

I can print text-only files to the printer from either the server, or
from my other Linux workstation (RedHat 6.0). However, I cannot print
graphics files, such as from Netscape, to the printer.

The data gets to Warp okay, but all I get is garbage on the printed
pages. The only Epson graphics printers supported under Linux, as far as
I can tell, are the older Stylus 800 and Stylus Photo models.

If I do not use any input filter at all on the Linux side (via
Printtool) the output to the printer seems to be Ghostscript code, with
the actual page data mixed within.

What is the proper, or preferred method of using Warp 4 as a remote
print server on a Linux/Samba LAN?

Moving the printer to the server is not an option because of physical
location of all devices involved. And I do not really want to spend
several hundred dollars on a dedicated printer server "Black Box". I
will build a cheap 486 Linux print server before I do that.

I would really like to make Warp 4 the print server, as most of our
printing is done from it locally.

If no one has any solutions, please point to an appropriate Newsgroup.
Thanks in advance

Subj: Re: TCP-IP connection problem

From: tvoltagg@home.com

I have a similar problem with my TCP/IP 4.1 on a 2 computer peer system.  I 
always boot up OK, but if I don't access the cable modem from my "client" 
system (the one not connected to the cable modem) for awhile, then I can't
communicate between the peers and can't ping.  I need to reboot.  I'll try
the MPTStart and see if that works.  What MPTS are you using?  8610?
8620?

I don't have Linux boxes on my home LAN at the moment (only Warp and 
Windoze) but I'm using LPRPORTD/LPD on the machine which has the 
printer physically connected to it and LPRMON on the other OS/2 boxes.
It works fine and I'd imagine it would work with Linux too.

Question regarding the Warp Server for e-Business and Apache web server.
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?

Subj: automatic logon for net use of NT drive

From: Wonkoo Kim <wkim@bellatlantic.net>

I have OS/2 Warp 4 (fp 11) machine and an NT workstation 
connected to a small home LAN (using TCP/IP over NetBIOS).
I could map shared NT drives to local driver letters.  However,
currently I manually open the WPS folder "Connections", and
double click the NT workstation icon from "File and Print Client
Resource Browser" so that I can type the password at prompt.
And then, I run a small batch file that contains
 net use m: \\foo\c
 net use n: \\foo\d
 ...

Could you recommend a good way to make the batch file so that
it can automatically logon to the NT workstation and map shared 
NT drives to local drive letters?

Thanks.

You don't need a script file,  from the desktop open the Connections
Icon.

Then open Network Services.
Open Shared Resources and Network Connections and choose the Connections
tab.  Open Create Connection...  Choose the NT box from the Resource
Location, choose the drive letter you want and check the Connect to
resource on logon option.

Subj: network drive object is missing folder

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

Under Warp 4 I am mapping an NT network drive to G: using NET USE.  The
drive contains two root-level directories (three according to FM/2).  All
of my applications can see them, but the OS/2 drive object does not show a
folder for one of them. 

To be completely accurate, during my many reboots between OS/2 and Win95
it has shown the folder twice; once immediately, and once after the icon
view had been open for some time, while I was working with other apps (and
using the directory.) I haven't been able to reproduce this delayed
appearance. Changing views or clicking Refresh makes no difference. 

Any idea what might be causing this?

I do have such configuration on my OS/2 machine for samba direcotries 
on my Linux server (also at my home LAN) which stays on 7/24.
However, the NT machine is not turned on 7/24. (So is my OS/2 machine.)
I think this setting will be activated only at the boot time and 
will work only if the NT machine was already turned on before my OS/2 
machine is booting.  I want to map the NT drives to my local OS/2 
drive letters when the NT machine is turned on later.  In the case, 
I wish to map NT drives with just a single batch command.

Thanks.

I think that would be speciifc to the stack you are running as things
have changed a bit with the 4.1/4.2 ones.

This is possible using REXX with some extensions, if only we can get
the password dialog box to come up from an OS/2 prompt. Once the dialog is
on the screen, you can detect it by using RxExtras to monitor the list of
running processes, and then start it by using APMT to supply the password and
click the OK button.

Currently my LAN Server Logon properties indicate the command

C:\MUGLIB\LOGON.EXE 

with parameters

/v:domain /d username

As long as I double-click the icon this works fine, but if I type it from
the command line I get (after the requester starts):

UPM1009C: The command failed.
The exit code returned from the command is: 17

I tried using SysCreateObject and SysOpenObject to start the logon, but
depending on the View parameter I use, SysOpenObject brings up the settings
notebook or nothing at all.

If all else fails, it may be possible to start the logon by using REXX APMT
functions to manipulate the mouse pointer on the desktop -- but
that's an ugly solution.

Duh!  I had the wrong path for the existing icon. This works fine. You
need RxExtras (commercial software )to monitor the list of running processes,
and AMPT (IBM-employee software) to send text and click the mouse.

Oops, this is too much for my need. ;-)  It is a good info, anyway.
I know REXX, but don't want to use a commercial package for this.
I thought there should be a command that I wasn't aware of...
Thank you for your answer.

It depends on the sceurity of the machine, but I use:

    LOGON username /P:password /V:domain

from the command line and it works fine....
