Subj: Unable To Copy EXE Files Over Home Network

From: "Charles E. Gibson" <kidzncatz@snip.net>

Hi all:
Have 2 systems linked via a crossover cable. When I try and copy an exe
or com file from one to the other it will only create a shortcut. It
will not copy the actual file from one system to the other. Check to
make sure file and print sharing was on on both machines as well as hard
drive sharing. All is well there. I can copy text files fine!!

Thanx,
Chas

Subj: How to configure routing for two TCP/IP interfaces

From: "Mike Ruskai" <thannymeister@spambegone.yahoo.com>

I'm attempting to play around with a small token ring network, for
purposes of comparison with ethernet (16/4 token ring, and 10BaseT
ethernet).

To keep the rest of the network functional, what I'd like to do is use the
token ring connection only for TCP/IP, between what are currently two
machines (a third will be added later), both running Warp 4.
 
The two machines in question are this one, and a server machine, which is
configured as a gateway for Internet access, currently using
Dial-on-Demand modem access (no cable modem or DSL available here,
unfortunately).

Over ethernet, the server is 172.20.0.20, and this machine is 172.20.0.22.

What I tried was making the server 172.20.0.30, and this machine
172.20.0.32, on the token ring interface.

What I need to know is what I need to put in the way of routing to make
sure that packets destined for the two token ring addresses, from the two
machines, go over the token ring connection (as opposed to being routed
over the ethernet connection, which defeats the entire experiment).

I'd appreciate any information on this.

I used to use a product from InJoy for just that (until I moved out of the
cable modem service area).  It does IP masquerading, and the performance
was very good.  There's also apparently another similar product around
that does the same thing. 

The former product will work either with two NIC's in the gateway machine,
or with one NIC, and the cable modem plugged into the expansion port of
the hub.

Hi Charles,

as you're using Win98 your question might be misplaced in a OS/2 newsgroup.
Probably the only answer you get here will be "Use OS/2" or the like.
I suggest asking again in an appropiate windows group.

Subj: Re: How to configure routing for two TCP/IP interfaces

From: "Chris Stumpf" <cstumpf@monmouth.com>

You have a problem here.  You have two networks , but the addresses that you
are using are all on the same network.  What you need to do is use 172.20.1.x
for your token ring network.  Then, on the machine doing the routing, enable
IP forwarding in the TCP/IP settings and make the default route point to the
token ring card's ip address, if you use the TCP/IP settings notebook, it
will create a net route automatically when you create the default route. 
Then on all the other machines on your network, make a default route to the
ethernet IP address of the routing machine and you will be set.  Oh, don't
forget to add the domain and dns from your isp to all the machines.  It's not
very difficult.

Try opening up a "Command Prompt" or "MS-DOS window"
and use the COPY command. AFAIK the regular DOS commands
are still present in Windows 98 (use of Win 98 is assumed from the
fact you are posting from a Windows 98 machine).

Dumb question, but, did you set up any kind of networking
in WINOS2? 

You should not have any network software set up in
WINOS2 as the drive and printer shares appear as a local
device or disk drive.

This is an OS/2 newsgroup, but I will answer anyway. Drag the file with the 
right mouse button and then select copy from the menu that pops up. Another
is to hold Ctrl while dragging with the left button.

Good luck.

One of the things I've learned about computers is that difficulty is
always relative.

I tried doing what I thought you were saying about, and it didn't work out
very well at all.

If you wouldn't mind spending a bit more time on my problem, here's what I
have:

Server - OS/2 Warp 4
Client 1 - OS/2 Warp 4 & Win95
Client 2 - Win95

Server:

10BaseT (TCP/IP, NetBIOS)
Modem (Dial-up TCP/IP)
Token Ring (TCP/IP)

Client 1:

10BaseT (TCP/IP, NetBIOS)
Token Ring (TCP/IP)

Client 2:

10BaseT (TCP/IP, NetBIOS)

From what you've said so far, I changed the token ring IP addresses for
the server and first client to 172.20.1.20 and 172.20.1.22, respectively,
whereas the ethernet IP addresses are 172.20.0.20 and 172.20.0.22,
respectively.

Currently, there are no routing table entries on the server machine, save
for whatever InJoy puts in for the dial-up Internet connection.

The first client has a default route pointing to 172.20.0.20, and a net
route (for 172.20), pointing to the same IP.  The second client just has
172.20.0.20 configured as the "gateway", and won't be using token ring
anytime soon.  I also won't lose any sleep over not having the routing
working under Win95 on the first client.

I don't know nearly as much about TCP/IP as I'd like, but isn't
172.20.0.20 a class B address?  Doesn't that mean that changing the net
would require changing the second octet?

Either way, I'm still not sure what sort of routing I need.

Hi on a similar question,

I have two machines links via ethernet,  IP address

192.168.1.1 (my machines linked to the internet via modem
192.168.1.2 (my son's machine)

I have been trying to get my son's machine to be able to see the net without
luck

question 1) do you need a program such as Ilink? or can OS/2 do it by itself,
I
get the impression not, the program only needs registering if you are using
more
than two machines?

I know I have a tcpip config prob, wget keeps complaining
wget: Warning: cannot determine local IP address.

when on line and pinging my son's machine netstat reprts the following

Since you only have one valid IP address (the one assigned at dialup), you
can't simply use what OS/2 has built-in.  

You need a gateway of some sort, of which there are a few to choose from. 
For almost unlimited functionality, you'll want an IP masquerader.  When I
had my cable modem, I used InJoy's gateway program.  Now that I'm
currently relegated to using a modem, I use InJoy with its IP masquerading
abilities (you'll need to register at a non-basic level).

[snip]

The rest looks like a big mess.  The only address your son's machine
should have is 192.168.1.2.  The routing table for it should look
something like this:

  destination         router          netmask   refcnt   use  flags  snmp
intrf
                                                                    
metric
        default     198.168.1.1         0.0.0.0    3      792  UG       0 
lan0
      127.0.0.1       127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255    0        0  UH       0 
lo  
     198.168.1.0     198.168.1.2     255.255.255.0    0        0  U       
0  lan0
    198.168.1.1     198.168.1.2 255.255.255.255    7        6  UH       0 
lan0

In the TCP/IP settings notebook, you can get the correct routing by
clicking on Add, pressing D for Default in the type box, and plugging in
your machine's address (with a metric of 1, and subnet mask of
255.255.255.0).  

For that to work, of course, you will need an IP masquerader like InJoy
(which is the only dial-up masquerader I know of).

You could get limited functionality by running a proxy program like IGate,
but I've found performance with that route to be lacking.

You could get better, but still limited functionality by using a SOCKS
server, such as SOCKS5, available free from Sun (a reference version).  If
you do that, just configure your son's machine to use a SOCKS server, on
the SOCKS page of the TCP/IP settings notebook.

The same happens with the IBM internet dialer, Communicator, Navigator and

I've had some "odd" problems with fp12, so i tried to backout to fp8, but no
luck:-(

I use the internet a lot, and recently i've used it daily for international

me if you can I'll be eternally grateful (no exaggeration!)

Subj: Excessive ethernet collisions

From: "Mike Ruskai" <thannymeister@spambegone.yahoo.com>

I recently installed a token ring network alongside my existing ethernet
network, and while doing a performance comparison, I discovered something
odd.  

The token ring performance averaged around 800KB/sec.  The ethernet
performance was doing around 20KB/sec, and the hub's packet and collision
lights were lighting up, one after the other, in regular rhythm.

I've disabled the token ring interface on both computers (only two have
token ring cards in them), and the problem persists (from each machine).

This machine is using a 3COM 3C905B-TX 10/100 card, and the server machine
is using a 3COM 3C590 card.  Both are using a 10BaseT connection via a
3COM OfficeConnect 8-port hub.

The two token ring cards are 3COM 3C619C's.

The problem with ethernet is evident only over TCP/IP, apparently.  Using
NetBIOS to transfer the same file (rather than FTP) shows no major
problems (there are spells of no packet activity, but no abnormal
collisions), with an average transfer rate of about 715KB/sec.

I've used both OS/2's FTP client, and two clients I've written (one in
REXX, one in C++).  The latter two use 10KB buffers, with the REXX one
having an option to use a different size.  If I change the buffer size to
512 bytes, the transfer is greatly improved (though still problematic in
the same fashion, with just more transfer between bright collision
lights).  The dropoff point seems to be around 1500-byte buffers.

This very connection has been used in the past with no such problems, so
I'm suspicious of the token ring cards, but can't verify their culpability
without yanking them out.

Is this ringing bells in anyone's head, who can tell me where the problem
is without my having to do surgery?

I don't see that you have any choice other than to either restore to

you've apparently got a bitsa system at the moment. What happened with

That is the routing of the server/gateway (10.0.0.95). None of the other
machines have any routing info at all, only host lists and 10.0.0.95 as the
DNS. The net route was generated with the "Create Default Net Route" button in
the TCP/IP Configuration.

    This may be what caused the problem. It may have not copied the ACLs
(Access Control Lists) to the new disk.
    Backup programs seem to consider ACLs special and have options to
allow including them in a backup set. (Why not do that by default?)
Interestingly, ZIP has no problem with that; it just grabs everything
that matches its input list.
    I thought the copy program did a byte-by-byte image copy, but maybe
not.

    You have a 9GB C: drive?!? Wow. I found it works to make the boot
drive only large enough to comfortably hold the OS and supporting
features (network, multimedia, etc), usually about 500 MB, separating
sysem functions from user areas. Then these types of upgrades are a lot
easier.

    You might have to create a bogus file whose only purpose in life is
to reduce the free disk space to less than 2 GB. This was a PITA problem
while driver writers were catching up to the available disk sizes. There
were a few programs that created the files for you; one even monitored
the free disk space and adjusted the file size so there was always 2 GB
free.

   FX communications, makers of IN-Joy, have a couple of products now.
Tunnel/2 has been available for at least a year. And they have recently
announced the availability of an IPSec product. IPSec is the basis for
VPN.

I have seen that FORE supported OS/2 with its ATM cards (SBA-200 it

But I don't know if they have continued developing the drivers for OS/2

Paul,

look at www.fx.dk where you will find both a working VPN solution using a
very secure proprietary scheme and also the widely compatible IPSec (and
"secure enough") means...

Base OS/2 does not start the dialer when an app requires IP.  The 
usual proceedure is to create a program object that calls LINKUP.EXE 
and passes the app name as a parameter.  Look in the Internet (Modem) 
folders, and check the properties of Netscape or other apps, for an 
example.

Some 4 years ago I orderd a book Lan Technical reference, IEEE 802.2 and
Netbios API SC30-3587-00. I have seen it at the www developers connection
site but the sites changes a lot and i can't find it anymore or no access.

Nice thing is that mister bill also uses this API (nt/95/98, install dlc
protocol). Of course with his know twists in it. (He has 'improved' the
api)

Subj: Using a networked HP LJ3100 ?

From: Michael Taylor <miket@interact.net.au>

We have a HP LJ3100 installed on a NT Server V4 file and print 
server.

Is there any way I can print to it from OS/2 V4?

I know it is a WinPrinter and we have the HP JetSuite installed
on the NT box. The NT4 WS boxes can print to it but only from Win 
Apps (ie "print' from the DOS command line doesn't work!).

Subj: Login to NT domain

From: "ttlow" <lthientze@citynetworks.com.sg>

Hi,
    I have a problem here trying to connect my WARP 4.0 client to aWindows
NT Server using TCP/IP.
    I 'm previously  using Lan Requester with NetBIOS protocol and it works
just fine, I can Login to the NT domain and map to any resources available
in that domain. But it seems like there is no way to configure the Lan
Requester to use TCP/IP as the transport protocol.
    I really appreciate if anyone can share your experience if  you ever
done that.
    Thanks.

Best Regards,

Are you sure? AFAIK this is not correct: multiple NDIS protocol 
drivers bind on top of the MAC driver (look at the "Bindings =" 
statements in your protocol.ini), in mine, Netbeui$, LANDD$, 
odi2ndi$, tcbbeui$and tcpip$ drivers all bind to the MAC driver. 

The protocol manager has a vector$ driver which is only used in 
multiple protocol environments where it sits on top of the MAC 
driver and transparently handles "fan-out" and "fan-in" of 
packets to and from the bound protocols above (which are offered 
packets and may say things like ("I'm not interested in this frame", 
"I'll have the frame, don't offer it to any other protocols" or, 
I'll have the frame, but offer it to other protocols).

For a truly generic solution to packet monitoring you need to
write an NDIS protocol driver that:

1) must be the first protocol bound to the MAC (so that it gets 
   offered *all* frames), 
2) can set the MAC driver into promiscuous mode,
3) that offers all received frames to other protocols, and 
4) defines an API that your packet sniffing (or whatever) app will 
   sit on.

This is non-trivial - I have implemented such software!

The TR driver is a MAC driver, you want to write (a much simpler,
but nevertheless tricky) NDIS protocol driver, and you need the
3COM/MS NDIS 2.1 specification.

Subj: Re: How do I read and write ethernet packets?

From: Michiel Karsch <m.karsch@ath.nl>

I think you are right but this is pre-ndis code from times of os/s ee 1.3; in
that time there was also a need to mpx protocols. Docu says it's possible to
'direct' interface and dlc interface. Direct you receive all packets and dlc
you specify sap 802.2 adressess (type 1 & 2 connections). So it must be
possible to build a ip layer on top of the direct interface bypassing ndis
protocol filtering. There is even a device driver interface for writing device
drivers (eg tcp/ip) on top and then your comms go through landd$. Curious what
happens if you use this and tcbeui$, i don't wanna try, you hope: I'll have
the
frame, but offer it to other protocols. I also don't want to try to write a
ndis device driver.

I think you might have it. I have a 3c905 that wouldn't work until I locked it

Subj: ThinkPad 600E & 3Com 3C589 PCMCIA  *PROBLEMS*

From: ows@netcom.ca (Orest Skrypuch)

Well the 600E's arrived, and I'm busy installing Warp. These need to 
access our local network (NetBios & TCPIP), so getting the PCCard 
(PCMCIA) set up is paramount. I'm using 3Com 3C589C PCMCIA cards, 
previously used in TP560's.


Well, to my horror I can not get the 600E to handshake with the 
network.


I've reinstalled a bare Warp install now a couple of times, installed 
FP11, updated the MTPS and Peer services and the TCPIP stacks to the 
latest.

I've installed Warp/peer services/TCPIP on a number of ThinkPads now, 
so that was a snap to run through.

Then to that fresh setup I install the 600E PCCard drivers downloaded 
from the IBM device driver site, they are dated Sept 99. I then 
reconfigure the adapter to 3Com Etherlink PCCard family and attach the
OS/2 NetBios and TCPIP protocols. (I have to install this as a second 
step, because the 600E's PCMCIA is not available in the base Warp4 
install)


I start the PC Card director, it recognizes the 3C589 PCMCIA lan card.
I then logon to Peer services, but there is no communication. I can't 
see any of the new TP600E's resources from other machines, and opening
up "File and Print Client Resource Browser" on the 600E shows only the
TP600E listed. I also canNOT "ping" out to the network, although 
pinging the TP600E *itself* works.

During boot up there are no error messages, or drivers skipped.


Hot swapping the 3C589 to an older TP560 gets access to the network as
normal, so it is not a card or cabling issue.

I booted into Win98 on that new TP600E, and set it up for TCPIP on our
intranet, and was able to ping out to another machine, which I guess 
proves out the base hardware. (notebook/PCMCIA slots/cabling/hub etc.)


I'm sure that this is something really simple, but just a new twist on
the new 600Es.

Can anyone suggest what the needle in the haystack is?  

Any suggestions for testing this out further?

HELP!

Subj: Re: NT logon to OS/2 warp server

From: Derek Shaw <dshaw.is@bigfoot.com>

I'm just starting down this path, with a couple of wrinkles.

Can you direct me to a resource that might describe the needed elements?  I've
got lots of experience with all the components and connecting them to all
sorts
of other servers (like DEC Alpha's with samba), but not having an NT box log
on
to a LanServer domain.

You mentioned parenthetically "browser on the server and logon client on the
workstations...", and I wonder if you could elucidate?  This sounds like IBM
code I need to put on to the server and the NT WS. Can you tell me how I get
it/them?  The IBM site has been singularly useless ot me in this regard.

The wrinkle - the domain is LanServer 3 (adv) running on OS/2 2.11.  Only
running NetBIOS on the server.  No plans to change that.  It also serves
printers and fax.

Cheers!

Does anyone know where I can find find a driver, or has anyone got one

Would a Warp driver be compatible, do you think (I'm guesssing not, but I'm
a newbie to OS/2)

Subj: Simple networking question....

From: mmellin@home.com (Mark Mellin)

To preface: I know only enough to be dangerous !!

I'm looking to set up my Warp4 client with TCPIP 4.1
as a "gateway" on a "cable modem'd" home lan.

I wish to have access to printer resources, file
systems, as well as sharing internet access between
across OS/2, NT, and Win-9X.

1) Do I *need* PEER ??  (I've already tried
   installing Peer from the Warp4 CD, and the
   installs craps out with "processing locked
   files - insufficient HDD space. - the HDD
   boot partition has about 700Mb free...)
   
   I don't want Peer, I don't like IBM's clunky
   slapped-together utility approach to product
   integration - hell -it's a batch file away
   from the DOS based utility installs....

2) Can I use -or- do I *need* SafeFire or Injoy
   Firewall to accomplish/meet my networks
   objectives ??

3) Are there any traps or pitfalls I should be
   aware of ??

4) Other than the obvious, is there any reason
   I'd be better off using OS/2 Warp over NT
   Workstation or Server as a gateway??

5) Why the heck couldn't I find any documentation
   on the above :)


Thanks in advance for any help.

    You need two pieces: the "browser enabler" that runs on the os/2
server. And the "client logon" that is installed on the NT workstation.
You can find both at

http://service.boulder.ibm.com/asd-bin/doc/en_us/catalog.htm

Note that the "primary client logon" and the "coordinated client" are
the same package. Install the coordinate option.

Yes you need to have "Peer" this is the set of software
that provides for disk and print sharing on OS/2. There must
be something causing the problem with "locked file update"
as it is used by almost all OS/2 software updates.

Peer is best installed when the OS is first installed as the
release version on the CD has a problem if any of
the config.sys lines are > 200 and something characters.

You can/need to use these to have the gateway to the cable modem
done by the OS/2 machine.

The setup of the TCP/IP addressing for the use of
NAT is fairly picky, but the documentation provided
by the Injoy firewall has good examples and is
easy to follow.

OS/2 is more stable and less likely to have problems
with "take over the machine and destroy it" attacks from
others lurking on the internet.

When you have NETBIOS and TCP/IP installed on
Windows XX machines, the act of "sharing" the disk drive
by default makes it available to ALL of the machines
connected to the internet. In order to protect your machines
and the data on them, the Windows XX machines should only 
be on "your" side of the firewall.

You should also make sure that the disk sharing in
Windows is only bound to the NETBIOS protocol
not NETBIOS over TCP/IP (which is the default).

Based on your description.

It looks like you have only connected the shared directory
on a machine to a drive letter on the same machine.

Set up a share on A (OS2) for the directory D:\NET which
should share the LOCAL drive D: directory \NET on A

 Connections>Computer name OS2 primary domain name RJF
 Connections>Tab Shares 
     Share name   Resource   Type        Auto-share  Status
     INET             D:\NET      directory     yes             
started

Try setting up a connection on B (MULTI) to the share
on A (OS2).

 Connection>tab Connections
     Device         Remote name              Auto-connect  Status
     Q:                  \\OS2\inet                     yes         
active

Then you can copy from any drive\directory on B to the
drive Q: (which in this case is drive D: directory NET on
machine A.

Subj: Re: ThinkPad 600E & 3Com 3C589 PCMCIA  *PROBLEMS*

From: Meinolf Sondermann <merlins@ibm.net>

Hello Orest,

just a guess:
If you're using it in a docking station, give it at first a try 
without the dock, or at least use the slots in the thinkpad itself
and not the dock's ones.

Why ?
Well, there is a known problem with 3com PCI networks cards and the
TP 600E in a dock, where the 3com driver can access 8 PCI busses
numberd 0 to 7, The 600E ( and just this machine ) assigns the number
8 to the bus in the dock. Maybe PCMCIA is a similar case.

From: Meinolf Sondermann <merlins@ibm.net>

Hello Derek,

what you need is the "Primary Logon Client for Windows NT".
You can get it from Software Choice at

http://service.boulder.ibm.com/asd-bin/doc/en_us/catalog.htm

CAUTION: This will _replace_ some of the networking code
         ( exes and dlls ) of NT. If you want to apply a 
         service pack to NT, you must first uninstall the 
         IBM client. If you miss this, you won't be able 
         to logon to the machine - leads you to reinstall NT .

There is little left to do.

1.) Make shure, that UserID and Password are the same on both machines.
2.) Logon to one of the two ( use the local logon )
3.) Go Command line and enter: Net View \\<The other Box>
    You should then get a list showing the shares of the other machine.
    That's the proof, that your basic setup is correct.
4.) In your above description, it shows up, that either machine just connects
    to it's own share. I.E. the box OS2 has a new drive N: which points to 
    k:\inet on OS/2. 
    Just exchange the contents of Connections between the two boxes.
    You then get new drive letters on either machine not physically present
    in them, but usable as if they were.
5.) .... ah ... forgot, that of course you have to logon to either machine 
                at every boot to see the other's resources .
    ... and, under shares you have to setup access profiles .

btw; Do you really have 11 ( or more ) partitions on box OS2, or is  k: on
shares
     just a typo ?

Klaus,

thank you for your info, but the drivers documentation indicates that it is
only supported on uniprocessor systems. I have evwent checked Olicom ATM
adaptes and they have an Warp SMP Support and they even operate with WSeB but
the do not work in IBM Netfinity 7000 (PPro).
It is interesting to see that even the IBM sold Adapters (manufatored by
Interphase) do not support OS/2 any more.
I wonder how to attach OS/2 Server to high speed LANs and even how IBM wants
to attach their famous Work Space on Demand to such networks?

It's technically possible to share drives & printers without using peer,
but you won't like it, and you probably won't be able to make it 
work - lpr and nfs are the keywords to look for if you want to see what 
I mean.   I'd correct your problem with peer and use that, if I were 
you.

Yes, on the gateway machine - the one with 2 network cards in it.  I 
looked (briefly) at SafeFire, then ordered the Injoy SOHO edition.  
Being familiar with Injoy support from the dialer software, it was a 
no-brainer to stick with Injoy. (that was a compliment to injoy, if it 
wasn't clear).

Go thru the security configuration THROUGHLY - don't accept defaults 
unless you understand EXACTLY what you're doing.

OS/2 is more secure and more robust.  Take a look thru zdnet and 
dejanews for keywords "windows and security".  You couldn't pay me to 
use a windows machine for a firewall.

You were looking in the wrong places, apparently.  There's a ton of 
useful info in the injoy manual, the tcp/ip redbooks, "OS/2 Warp 
Administrators Survival Guide", and comp.os.os2/networking.*

At the moment I recommend, not to use an ATM card

We are using Madge ATM cards and have a lot of problems with the new
MPTS version WRG8610.
The cards are running only with MPTS8423 and according to IBM they will
not support ATM
(If we want ATM  support, we should make a request to IBM)

With MPTS8610 the server traps at startup or shortly later. With 8610 we
have one or two times
a week a trap. (Now we are replacing the ATM cards with two token ring
cards and start trying samba
on an AIX server)

From: Netzwerk <Netzwerk@rwg.de>

We have a new enviroment, in which we are only using TCPBeui as
transport protocol.
(Warp 4, FP 10, MPTS8610)

In this enviroment we have the problem, that if the Primary DC fails,
the BDC is not able to take over.

For example, if I do a net alias aliasname while the PCD is offline, I
dont get a answer from the BDC.

If we are using NETBEUI as transport protocol, all work fine.
