Subj: OS/2 Samba Client

From: "Michael K Greene" <mgreene@exis.net>

I have a Samba server under Linux and a system (Warp 3 FP42) as client. I
know about the MS LANMANAGER and OS/2 Connect, but can I use the client from
Warp Server Advanced to connect to the Samba client (just because I have it
already). I know I could install WS Advanced but I'd rather use Samba as a
trial.

Subj: OS/2 Peer Networking in Win/os2 under Warp 4

From: "David Shearer" <david.shearer@bigpond.com.au>

Is it possible to install OS/2 Peer networking under Win/os2 in Warp 4?  I
have got it to work using Warp 3 connect (you can install network support
through win/os2 setup and select IBM OS/2 Peer as the network and it prompts
you for the warp 3 connect CD.  But trying to do it in Warp 4 the
installation stops while looking for a non-existant file from the Warp 4 CD.

Does anyone know if it is possible?  I could not find any reference to this
capability in the Warp 4 documentation.

You should be able to use the client software to talk to 
any SMB type file server. I assume you are using NETBIOS
over TCP/IP on the client machine to access the file server.

Subj: Can't share resources in peer network

From: James Moe <sma.spam-not@rtd.com>

Hello,
    I have one system in a network that cannot share anything. It can
access other network resources but cannot provide any of its own. When I
open "Shared Resources and Network Connections," I do not get a Shares
page. In fact I only get 3 pages: Identity, Connections, and Icon. This
is regardless of the logon, either local or administrator. None of the
other systems have this limitation.

    Any ideas where the rest of the stuff is?

    In \ibmcom\protocol.ini there are a couple of netbios parameters you
could alter. In both the NETBEUI_NIF and TCPBEUI_NIF sections, try these
settings:

netbiostimeout = 500
netbiosretries = 1

IIRC, 500 (1/2 second) is the minimum for the timeout.

No, still trying get it working. So, I should be able to load my client with
the LAN SERVER Requester and access the Samba system? I'll give it a try -
but do I need to also include NETBIOS? + NETBIOS over TCPIP + TCPIP. Should I
install the PEER Service?

You only need the NETBIOS over TCP/P and TCP/IP if you are
only going to talk to the Samba server.

You can install PEER if you want to share resources on the client
with other clients. If you are not going to do this you don't
need the PEER option. When you do install the PEER option
you have to maintain the User ID's and passwords for those
users that will access the resources on the client. This set 
of ID/passwords is maintained independantly of the ones that
are used by the SAMBA server. You will also have to
set up RFCNAMES.LST And RFCBCST.LST on the client
so it can identify itself to the other machines. OR you can
use the SMBD daemon that is running on the Linux machine
to identify the client machines that share resources.

It sounds like you don't have admistrator priviledges on that workstation.
There is a default user ID and password creted when peer to peer is
installed. If that ID was never used to create a user with equal permission
level and is lost/deleted/whatever then you may have to do what I did. I
comletely backed out of networking support in Warp. When I re-installed, I
made certain to create a SuperUser with admistrator priviledges on that
system. Off the top of my head, I can't remember what the ID and password are
but they are documented in the Warp 4 and Warp 3 Connect literature. If you
need that info and can't locate it, email me and I'll look it up when I'm at
work.

I'm doing the same thing (Linux serving Warp via Samba) and had the same
experience. I thought it was a network or client problem, but was wrong. Once
I got samba correctly setup, everything began to work wonderfully. A word of
caution, I don't trust "swat" to correctly configure Samba. Once I studdied
the available docs and subsequently set up samba.conf by hand things went
vastly better. Among other good resources, there is a website called
www.Troubleshooters.com that you should check out.

The other much easier option is to copy the NET.ACC file from the 
machine that is working, then use the admin access from this file
to set things up.

    Hostnames are all the hosts/IP_address pairs you want your system to
know about. If you do not have a DNS name server, it is a must.
Otherwise your system will not resolve hostnames to IP addresses. (If
you provide only IP adresses, no problem. It's a litlle non-intuitive,
though.)
    Unless you have more than one network segment, all you need to do is
make the local machine the default router to the network.

    In \ibmcom\protocol.ini there are a couple of netbios parameters 
you
could alter. In both the NETBEUI_NIF and TCPBEUI_NIF sections, try 
these
settings:

netbiostimeout = 500
netbiosretries = 1

IIRC, 500 (1/2 second) is the minimum for the timeout.

Subj: Subject: Problem configuring Dual ISA NIC's

From: "John B. Dubeck" <jbdubeckATex-pressnet.com>

After chasing down many deadends to figure out why I can't configure a
peer-to-peer network with a cable modem (incoming with dial up for the
outgoing) using 2 NIC's, I have determined that the second card is not
installed properly.  The realization dawned when I switched the TCP
configuation (and cable connections) to run the peer to peer lan over the
Realtek and the cable modem over the 3Com.  I lost my internet connection,
but had no trouble with NETBEUI.  

Suggestions appreciated.  The box is running a 486 AMD overdrive chip and has
64Meg of memory.  2 hard drives run on the first IDE adapter and 1 ATAPI
CD-ROM on the second.  I have 4 com ports loaded (and in intermittent use)
and 1 SCSI adapter running a Jaz drive.

The 1st card is a RealTek, 8019, it loads and works fine. at 280H and IRQ 5

The 2nd card, and I have tried two slightly different physical cards, are
3Com Etherlink III, 3C509TP at 210H and IRQ 7 (I had to sacrifice my sound
card).

I get no errors on boot.  I do get a message after loading the Realtek driver
(PNPND.os2) that it is installed.  I do not get such a message after it says
that it is laoding the Elnk3.os2 drivers (the os2 file is dated 1-6-1999; the
inf file is dated 11-16-1998.

Curiously, the harware manager (full detection active) and rmview /irq do not
show either NIC.  Also, the 3Com install program (2-23-19990 is very happy to
reassign IRQ 5 to the 3Com card without recognizing a conflict with the other
card.  (Of course, OS2 detects a problem in this case uon reboot.)  I have
run the 3com install program both from a clean DOS boot and from a full DOS
screen in OS2 (after booting with the drivers rem'd out).  That didn't seem
to make any difference as far as the IRQ's that seemed to be available.
Occassionally, I will be allowed to set the card at IRQ 10, sometimes it even
tells me that IRQ 7 is occupied.

My final attempt to solve the problem was to change the sequence of the MAC
calls in config.sys.  That changes the sequence in which the install occurs,
but does not alter the outcome.

Well, thanks. It's going slow but I'm working my way through the docs. I'm to
the point that the requester starts. I figure just more work on on the samba

AFAIK it should support it. I just set up a share for a COM port on my
server
and the setup for the share worked. I also did a NET USE for the com 
port
from a workstation and the attach of the shared com port worked.

Unfortunately, I don't have a modem in the server so I can't verify
the operation to that level. The MODE command issued on the
workstation will change the baud rate on the shared com port
and reports back the changes made.

    I do not see why not. I have a Warp server 4.0 system that happily
shares a modem with several other computers. WSEB should have at least
that functionality.
    The share is done with Peer network.

Did you run MPTS.EXE to configure your network setup ? If not, do so and make
sure
that both cards are shown and have the appropiate protocols bound to either
one.

I had this same problem. I ended up copying NETAPI.DLL and PMSPL.DLL into
the \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM directory by hand - I can't for the life of me
remember where I got them from. One of my systems is using the files from
Win 3.11 and the other isn't - they identify themselves as version 4.0

After that I modified the SETUP.INF file to replace the x:netapi and x:pmspl
entries in the [dlrvdd] section with a real disk number i.e. 2:netapi etc.
and then ran the Win-OS/2 setup thing and it all worked.

My Windows Netbios apps. now seem to work (mostly!)

Subj: OS/2 and Samba relationship problem

From: Johan =?iso-8859-1?Q?Sj=F6str=F6m?= <d99js@efd.lth.se>

Hello,

I have a problem that concerns OS/2 Warp 4 (fp#10) and Redhat Linux 6.0.

My OS/2 box is sharing a printer and some files that are all accessible
from my Windows 95-computers. I also have both telnetd and ftpd setup
on the OS/2 box, and that's working great too.

But recently I installed Redhat Linux 6.0, and I've just configured
Samba.
Redhat can now see all the Windows-computers on the LAN (and list
their shares with smbclient -L), but when I try to list (or mount) some
of
the OS/2-shares, I get this:

error connecting to 192.168.0.2:139 (Connection refused)
Connection to WARP failed

and when I telnet to the OS/2-box (which btw works great) and try to
list
which computers OS/2 can detect on the LAN, it doesn't see my Linux-
computer. If I try to mount some linuxshare from the OS/2-box, I get:

NET3502: OS/2 error 53 has occurred.
SYS0053: The network path was not found.

Anyone who knows what the problem is?

The OS/2-computer has TCP/IP 4.0, FP#10 installed (Warp 4 of course)
The Linux-computer has Samba 2.0.3 installed.

Remember: The only system that appears to have problems here is Warp 4,
since Linux <-> Windows works great.

What protocols do you have installed under MPTS? 

Talking to the Linux Samba server or client requires 
NETBIOS over TCP/IP. The Warp client will be able 
to access the Windows boxes if only NETBIOS is installed.

Subj: Re: Subject: Problem configuring Dual ISA NIC's

From: Meinolf Sondermann <merlins@ibm.net>

Hello John,

it seems you're trapped in a PLug&Pray situation. One of the cards or both
are set to PnP mode and the box has no PnP BIOS.

Here are some suggestions to overcome this.

1.) Me not knowing the RealTek, I suggest putting it in the first slot.
    This will ( according to your description ) put the card in 
    functional state.

2.) Carefully record the settings, which get assigned to the Realtek.
    Especially IRQ and I/O baseaddress.

3.) Use 3com's configuration utility (3C5X9CFG.EXE) located on the 2nd
    disk to set the respective parms to different values than the RealTek's.

4.) Also disable PnP in the 3com card via this config utility
    ( or use PNPDSABL.BAT on the 2nd disk )

5.) MPTS will not allow you to specify all the settings you need, 'cause
    the NIF file (EL3IBMO2.NIF) is crippled to just allow for setting 
    NETADDRESS and MAXTRANSMITS.
    I think you must at least tell the driver at which I/O address to find
    the card. You have to manually edit your protocol.ini (C:\IBMCOM) and
    add "IOADDRESS = 0xNNN" (no quotes) to the driver's section. 
    0xNNN ranges from 0x200 - 0x3E0 in steps of 0x10.

6.) There are some other parms to be put in protocol.ini in case the 
    former did not cure your problem . Here's the list :
    
    SLOT IOADDRESS RECVBUFFER IDPORT MINTXSTART NETADDRESS MAXTRANSMITS
    DISABLETIME TXBYTESCLI RXBYTESCLI UNDERGOAL MINRXEARLY MINTXRECLAIM
    SYNCHRONOUS MINLOOKAHEAD MAXOVERLAP WINOVERLAP NOPNP TRACEADDRESS

6a.) I don't have any documentation on those for this specific driver,
     so you have to experiment a little bit. I just know, that 
     SLOT (for EISA or MCA) and IOADDRESS (for ISA) are mutually exclusive.

     The parm NOPNP looks quite interesting - just a guess:
       It may be a boolean one.
       If present tells the driver to reconfigure the NIC on loadtime.

     Most of the others are presumably related to 
     either performance or capacity.

Bye/2 and good luck

Subj: Re: Subject: Problem configuring Dual ISA NIC's

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

Thanks for the suggestion, but been there, done that (many times).  I have
moved adapters around to different slots, changed IRQ's, removed various
cards, etc.  I know that the 3Com card works because I took it out of a
machine at work that had been working.  Also, when I reboot to Win98, both
cards work just fine.

By perusing past messages in DejaNews, I learned about the file lantran.log
in x:\ibmcom.  It records the protocols and adapter configurations each time
you boot.  It only shows 1 adapter is loading.  But, having shifted the 3Com
card to the first ISA slot (nearest the memory chips), it is now the 3Com
card that loads and not the RealTek.  So, both cards work, just not at the
same time.

Subj: intel pro/100 dual port server adapter

From: chadpaul@netexpress.net

Hello,

I have been searching for instructions or anyone who has used 
the Intel pro/100 Dual Paort Server Adapter card
with Warp OS/2 ver. 4.0?

I have bought the card, but tried the OS/2 drivers and NDIS drivers for it.
The system loaded one driver but detects the two interfaces.
I have no luck with it and tried to read any documentation from the Intel
CDROM that came with it with the drivers.

Little is said of OS/2 systems, go figure, they all want us on MS junk.

Any advice or things to try, please drop a line or a post.
Any good OS/2 sites with good drivers for this card or 
instructions to install and use this card would be great.

Thank you


Chad Pauli

Could you/anyone expand on this (I have never had to edit RFCNAMES.LST or
RFCBCST.LST to talk to samba [or anything else] here)?

AFAIR these relate to mapping tcp/ip hostnames to netbios names;
I thought it's only necessary to get involved with these files 
under "special" circumstances, but perhaps they can be used to 
improve network performance in a tcpbeui environment (i.e. 
especially WRT samba and NT boxes).

I should have said "MAY have to set up RFCNAMES.LST etc".

If the machines are on multiple IP network segments and there
is  no NETBIOS name server (aka SMBD or WINS) active,
you will have to be able to tell the various clients where the
potential server machines are (done through RFCNAMES.LST)
and what machines should be notified of the client/server
presence (done through RFCBCST.LST)

The default on a single segment network is to use the
broadcast IP address to tell others about yourself. In a
lot of cases the broadcast packets are not passed on by
the routers so you need to be able to notify others of your
presence. The most efficient way is with a NETBIOS name
server, but if you are not using one, the RFCNAMES.LST
and RFCBCST.LST will do the same thing - with the extra
work of maintaining the lists on each machine.

Subj: Network Services folder is empty, large drive problem

From: "John Dow" <jtd_nospam@pgh_nospam.net>

Peer networking has been working for me with only a few small problems.

Suddenly I can't change the sharing on anything. Right click on a drive, for
example, and 
there's no choice at all. 

Furthermore, I now notice that the Network Services folder (in Connections) is 
completely 
empty.

The only things that have happened recently that might be relevant are: 

1) I used PowerQuest's disk copy program to upgrade my C drive, and OS/2 went
from a 
700MB partition to a 9 Gig partition; 

2) I tried but was unsuccessful in backing out out the peer fixpak I had
installed sometime 
ago (this in an effort to eliminate the minor problems I've been having). What 
I tried to do 
was to reinstall peer from the Warp CD.  However, this failed apparently
because drive C 
is too large. (I reports there's no free space on it.) Perhaps my attempt that 
failed messed 
things up? It didn't get very far at all before reporting the false problem.

So at present my machine is on the network (with a Win 95 machine and an NT
machine) 
but I can't change anything.

I'm not familiar with a free solution to your problem (other than
Linux)..

the best (least expensive) Warp solution is found at www.fx.dk
they have a family of products which includes a firewall, a dialer
with NAT and filtering...the works...

for fixpacks you only need one...12
and maybe a tc/tip update..

I can analyze the ethernet header, modify it and send it

From: "Cameron Kerr" <ckerr@dcc.govt.nz>

Hi, I'm a newbie to OS/2, my bosses gave it to me to play around with, see
what it's like. I know it's very old, and nowhere near Y2k compliant.

My problem is that there are no network drivers in the box. And any
documentation regarding setting up a network is non-existent. I've tried
looking around IBM's website to find a driver, but I could find the elusive
needle years before I could find any drivers for OS/2 2.0.

From what I've seen of it. OS/2 is a cool platform (with a kick ass chess
game)   8-)

If you have a driver, or know exactly where to retrieve on, please send
email to robotboy@hotmail.com

Subj: netware 5.0 and os/2 netware connecting

From: AC <news@sau.edu>

Hello,

I am unable to get my OS/2 warp 4.0 computer to connect to my Netware
5.0 server.
I was running Intranetware 4.11 and was able to have my os/2 machine
connect.
I even reloaded os/2 clean and selected the networking components for
netware,tcpip, and sharing with netbios. TCP/IP and file sharing works,
but I am not able to attach to the netware server. I just remembered and
I am sure I also told netware 5 to load or use ipx/spx besides tcpip. I
will have to check and see if the netware server is using ipx and on the
correct ethernet adapter.

Is anyone using os/2 v 4 with netware 5 server?
are you using the latest novell client, or the one shipped with os/2?

Any comments or ideas are welcomed.
I am doing this from a public lab at school, so you can not do a reply
to sender from this post.  sorry about that, these school machines are
very locked down.

Ok, I believe I will have to write my own intermediate
NDIS-driver. Does anyone know were I can find good source
samples for NDIS drivers. I just downloaded the DDK from
IBM and at the first look at the sample in there (a token
ring driver) it looks too complex. I guess it includes
hardware access and things like that, but my driver only
need to access the existing NDIS driver and act as any
NDIS driver towards the application (TCP/IP-stack)...

I have three machines running both Win98 and Warp4 and they are working fine
in a Peer network environment, i.e. any of the three can be running Win98 or
Warp4 and I can share the drives and the printers in any configuration I
want.  That`s great. However, if I run Win-os2 on one of the machines, the
network connection ceases on that machine and the only way to get it back is
to reboot that machine.
Any suggestion as to how to solve that problem?
