Subj: Bug, bugs, and more bugs

From: Fujiha <peterpan@mail2.dgraph.com>

I have had it.

My Warp 4 box forgets all the network settings about 1 hour after
reboot.
If I reassign IPs to the two interfaces (lan0 .1-.5, lan1 10.10.10.x)
they will be reachable for 5-6 minutes (as opposed to ~1 hour if I
reboot).

All hardware tested and working 100%
Warp 4
TCP/IP 4.1 (latest fixes)
5 static IPs

I need to run a DNS on this box and am beginning to wonder if it is
worth it (should I simply use Linux for this?).

Thanks

Subj: Re: Losing network path?

From: Fujiha <peterpan@mail2.dgraph.com>

This sounds like the same problem I am having. In my case, I have static
IPs and the system has been almost working well for over a year till a
week ago. If I reassign my IPs and routes they stay up for only 5-6
minutes as opposed to 1 hour after a reboot. This is beginning to annoy
me to no end. Probably will reformat and install some other OS.

Subj: ethernet soft para MS-DOC

From: "Javier Alcaraz" <sonalar@sonalar.es>

    hola grupo...


    Estoy buscando un software antiguo para redes de área local que
trabajaba en DOS llamado:

    NETWORK-OS PLUS V7.20

    El fabricante de este programa era CBIS, Inc. pero me parece que han
desaparecido del planeta tierra.

    Servía para controlar unas tarjetas de red Ethernet, en concreto el
modelo de tarjeta era el Western Digital WD-8003E (sí WD no sólo hacía
discos duros).

    He intentado buscar por todas partes pero no me he comido ni una rosca;
si alguien sabe algún dato sobre el programa, se lo agradeceré eternamente.

You might get more useful answers from a newsgroup that specialised in
Windows networking.  Windows tends to dump all the DLLs into the 
Windows directory structure so it may be necessary to have the 
application installed on both PCs.

Try this.  In x:\mptn\bin\setup.cmd, delete the line that looks
similar to this:

route add -net 192.168.0 192.168.0.1 -netmask 255.255.255.0
-hopcount 1


Your IP address is probably different than mine in this line, but
that's the line that needs to be removed to stop TCP/IP from
magically quitting to function.

I only have a default route in my setup.cmd

But alas! Like magic, after 2 days of silence it started working. I know
I did not do anything since the PC is in my office and no one has been
there for a week. Magic I tell ya! It will probaly die in an hour or so
anyways. Will see.

It died again right after I managed to get my emails (so it was up for
5-6 minutes). Wonder if it will work again in 2 days but by then I will
most likely switch to linux.

 'After some changes of NIC's I now have trouble' - I guess these are the
key words.
Check lantran.log in the ibmcom directory. You may find driver messages
relating to your problem. Chances are the drivers are not loading properly
(which is usually due to mismatch of interrupt etc).
Also run a current version of os2sniff (in the MPTS fixpacks). This will
find most drivers if they are loaded.

Subj: Problem setting up network

From: "James Eling" <jeling@bigpond.com>

Hi,

I have limited OS 2 experience andam setting up a network between 3 os 2
Warp 4 (I think) PCs and 1 win 98 box.

So far 2 Os 2 and the win 98.  I can browse files from the win 98 machine
back to the OSs 2 boxes now I just have to go the other way.  (I don't think
that will be too hard.)  I could use net use and put that command in the
autoexec.bat I think.

My big problem at the moment is one of the machines seems to have a strange
setup.  The MPTS icon does not appear where it did with the other machines.
I first thought that maybe it hadn't been installed, until I read that it is
always installed.  Ilater found the directory and ran the program that way.
Most of the networking icons are missing.  Why are they missing and what can
I do to find tham again?

Thanks in advance.

Subj: Networking a HP LaserJet4...

From: mmellin@home.com (Mark Mellin)

Any ideas on how to connect/configure Warp4 as the print server on
a HP LaserJet4 using HP's JetDirect card across a 10-BaseT peer
network with TCP/IP ??

I couldn't & didn't find any JetDirect software for OS/2 on HP's
or IBM's driver site(s).

My telenet'd config for the Jetdirect card is as follows:

===JetDirect Telnet Configuration===

        Configured Parameters
        IP Address      : 192.168.1.5
        Subnet Mask     : 255.255.255.0
        Default Gateway : 192.168.1.5
        Syslog Server   : 192.168.1.1
        Idle Timeout    : 90 Seconds


Everything seems to be connected and working properly...

Thanks in advance for any help.

Why ?  The JetAdmin for OS/2 is comes with the JetDirect.
Or you may find it easily at HP's homepage :

  Yes. The filename is JA105EN.EXE. Seems to be a good release; it
solved the "duplicate print of the first job" problem I had with it, and
generally seems to run faster.
  The installation is crude. Follow the the README instructiosn
slavishly and you'll do OK.

I've been using DSL from Bell Atlantic for about a year under OS/2 without any
problems. Occasionally, after non-use, it times out; running "setup.exe"
restores it.

All that's involved, really, is a unique ethernet address (which serves as the
"passoword") and the various TCP/IP settings. There are no device drivers. So
the DSL terminal doesn't care what OS is under the hood. I'm running at 1MB,
by the way, with typical thruputs of 80 Mbs.

Of, course, BA won't do this for you; their technies were sufficiently
challenged by Windows NT.

From: Jim Danvers <jim.danvers@mindex.com>

I don't really know a ton about OS/2 (matter 'o fact I don't hardly know
anything about it!), but I have recently installed it on a box @work and
have been playing  / experimenting with it for the last couple of
days....   Anyhow - with respect to your JetAdmin s/w question - I have
heard of many a bad experience with jetadmin in the NT world also (which
is what I deal with @work) - my solution is to use a protocol called
"DLC" to talk to the jetdirect devices that we have on our network.  It
will ~only~ work with jetdirect devices though (w/respect to using it as
a printing protocol).  Bear in mind that DLC is non-routable, so if you
need to access a printer on the other side of a router it ain't gonna
work for you.  I dunno if OS/2 has an equivilent to DLC, but thats my
.02 cents worth anyway.  Hope its good for something....  {shrug

From a command line, run VER /R on the OS/2 machines and post the 
numbers that result.  The solution will depend on what version(s) and 
fixpak levels you have for Warp.  Eventually, you will need to post 
the results of the SYSLEVEL program but this will get started.

Subj: OS2 in a Microsoft Network

Message sender: rauscher@odin.botanik.biologie.uni-muenchen.de

From: Rauscher Guenter <rauscher@odin.botanik.biologie.uni-muenchen.de>

Dear  OS/2 users,

we have several computers with OS/2 in a large heterogenous network.
Most of the computers are with Win9X or Win311.
To keep ageneral overview, we made several groups in the Microdoft
network. The OS/2 computers are also members of any groups.
But the OS/2 computers see only the computers in the own group because
OS/2 peer services interpretes groups as a domain.
Is there a way to connect to computers in an other group?
It is a funny thing, that one OS/2 computer has a connection to a
windows computer and to a UNIX workstation via samba, which are members
of other groups, becaus the connection was achieved before the groups
were introduced.
Is there any way in the present situation, to achieve a connection to a
computer of an other group?

Thanks in advance

Subj: HELP ON NETWORKING A SCANNER PLEASE!

From: " Michael Dean Taylor" <mdtaylor@mdtaylor.com>

After much help from you kind people I now have a successful network up
and running which allows access to printing.

I have one last problem- how do I network my scanner

I have 3 machines all networked machine A B and C

MachineB has the scanner plugged in via a usb port .
Machine A and C are remote

Is it possible to scan from any machine using photoshop which is installed
on all 3 machines.(A B AND C)

At the momemt machine B (scanner connected to it) scans o.k
but when I try machine A or C- I have a message stating "scanner not
found-cannot initialise"  Etc...

I have set all my drives to share which I presume would cover the twain
drive. and iihave installed the scanner software on all 3 machines.

I am using a hewlett packard scanjet 6200c under a standard windows 98
network using a hub and 3 network cards.

Where am I going wrong iIwould be grateful for any help !!
Thanks

There is a parameter in the IBMLAN.INI file that allows
the requester to see other domains. The additional domains
or groups are set up in a comma separated list.

othdomains = freds, ibmpeers, research, etc, etc

The IBMLAN.INI file lives in the \IBMLAN directory.

Edit the file, stop the requester, start it again, and see
if you can connect to the various groups.

It's hidden in with the JetAdmin stuff. JA105EN.EXE or something like
that, IIRC. Works fine here, I've got a LaserJet4M+ which will talk to
OS/2 machines, a Windoze95 machine (when it's switched on) and a Mac,
all on the same network.

As an aside, did anyone notice that HP have discontinued decent
JetAdmin support for OS/2 - you have to have an NT server on your
system to run the newer OS/2 JetAdmin. I couldn't find a suitable HP
contact to complain to in the notifying email :-( Not that I use it
anyway...

Dave, what do you mean ?
Is that mean the new JetAdmin/2 will detect the existence
of NT Server to work ?

I'm using the bundled OS/2 driver of JetDirect 500x, and
am planning to upgrade to the lastest one, if any.

This is an OS/2 newsgroup not a Windows newsgroup.
You should really be posting these items to one
of the Windows newsgroups.

Sharing a "drive" has nothing to do with sharing the
scanner hardware. Windows 98 won't even share
a modem, so I doubt that sharing a scanner is
possible either.

There is nothing in the standard Windows
networking that allows you to share
a scanner between machines.

The TWAIN drivers assume the presence of the
scanner on the local machine. I don't think anyone
has written a TWAIN "scanner on a network" driver.
It's possible to do it, I just don't think anyone has
done it.

You could buy a USB hub and plug the scanner
and all three machines into that. The USB protocols
are supposed to allow this type of sharing.

        You can also use the "net use" command. This will work for any valid
machine on your net no matter what the workgroup name is.

        Type "net help use" and "net help view" for maore information, also
check the OS/2 Warp Command reference.

        If you want the network resources every time you boot your machine you
could make a command file that runs from the startup folder to start the
requester, log you on and connect to the resources that you want. You could
alternatively put the commands in "startup.cmd" in the root directory of your
boot drive.

        Frankly I find it much nice not to be able to see everything on the
local network. Ever tried opening up the Winxx Network Neighbourhood when
there are over a couple of hundred workgroups? Its really painfull.

Subj: Internet sharing, with different OS

From: bm_ptx@my-deja.com

Hi,

Currently I have two PCs in my home. One using Win98, one OS/2. Now only
the Win98 PC is subscribed to a broadband network access (somewhat a
proprietary interface by Hong Kong Telecom, I'm afraid), and I'd like to
have my OS/2 system to share the connection.

1) Is Internet sharing between Win98 and OS/2 possible, using Win98 as
server? Even solutions of plain modem internet access is welcome,
I'd like to know the possibilities (The proprietary broadband doesn't
have a program for OS/2 to trigger the internet access, anyway)

2) What softwares on these two PCs should I use? The problem is, it
seems that I can't find any internet sharing software (Wingate,
GateKeeper, etc.) that have cross-platform capabilities.

3) What changes on the network do I need? I'm currently using TCP/IP.

Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Tony Pang

As long as the Win98 box has some software on it that will serve
as a NAT gateway, like Wingate, you can access the internet 
from the OS/2 box. The gateway software will have to run on
the Win98 box if the proprietary access program for the
broadband connection will only run on Windows.

<ADVOCACY ALERT>
You should register a strong objection with the ISP
at their lack of support of platforms other than Windows. 
This is  beginning to look like some kind of restraint of trade
on the part of some ISP's. There appears to be some kind
of conspiracy to keep Linux, OS/2, BeOS and any
other operating system except Windows from having
broadband Internet Access
</ADVOCACY ALERT>

The OS/2 box will need TCP/IP set up for it's LAN card
and the Win98 box and the OS/2 box will have to be
connected on a LAN.

The OS/2 TCP/IP setup will have the default router (gateway)
set to the private IP address that is assigned to the
WIN 98 box. DNS addresses will be those assigned
by the ISP. The OS/2 box will have a private IP
address assigned.

The Windows 98 box may need two NICs to
provide for connection to the broadband internet
and the LAN. Each NIC on the Windows 98 box
will have to have the TCP/IP protocol installed.

Windows LAN NIC
IP address 10.1.1.1

OS/2 LAN NIC
IP address 10.1.1.2
router(gateway) default 10.1.1.1

The IP address and router info is stored in \mptn\bin\setup.cmd.  The 
DNS info is stored in \mptn\etc\resolv2.  To use different OS/2 at 
different sites, just replace these files.  I have my computer 
configured to select location at bootup.  I change the setup.cmd file,
lan logon commands and network drivers, but not resolve file.

Part of an email I received from HP, dated 11th October:

----------------------------------------------------------------
3. HP JetAdmin discontinuance notice
----------------------------------------------------------------
The simple installation tools for printer and print server installation

and HP Web JetAdmin for management, troubleshooting, and diagnostics
have 
become more powerful and simpler to use than HP JetAdmin. HP will
continue 
to invest and expand functionality with simple installation tools and
HP 
Web JetAdmin. As a result, this evolution and continual improvement
process 
allows HP to begin a discontinuance process for the HP JetAdmin family 
of software products listed below effective February 1, 2000:
 
* HP JetAdmin Version 2.7 for Microsoft Windows 3.1x 
* HP JetAdmin Version 3.4x for Microsoft Windows 95/98 
* HP JetAdmin Version 3.4x for Microsoft Windows NT
* HP JetAdmin Version D.06x for HP-UX 10x and 11x 
* HP JetAdmin Version D.06x for Sun Solaris 
* HP JetAdmin Version A.04x for IBM OS/2 

HP encourages customers to take advantage of the many benefits of HP
Web 
JetAdmin and the Simple Installation Tools by migrating to these robust

solutions at the earliest possible convenience. At the same time, HP
will 
provide full support of JetAdmin until January 31, 2002 to ensure ample

time to complete this transition. HP Web JetAdmin 5.6 is currently
available 
in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Japanese. In the near

future HP will release new versions of Web JetAdmin that will also be 
available in Czech, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified
Chinese 
and Traditional Chinese.

For more information on HP JetAdmin discontinuance and the extended
support 
timeline, please visit: 

     http://network-printing.com/Key=1674.M5m.D.g3aQ9

===========================================================

When I went looking for OS/2 versions of the Web JetAdmin, I discovered
from the HP website that:

>>HP Print Server Manager, along with HP Web JetAdmin, provide the
>>ability to install, configure, manage, and troubleshoot TCP/IP connected
>>devices on an intranet. For this support, HP Web JetAdmin 5.6 must be
>>installed on a Windows NT 4.0 PC (Workstation or Server) and HP Print
>>Server Manager must be installed on an OS/2 server.

(on http://www.hp.com/cposupport/networking/software/hppsosen.exe.html
)

I don't know what level of support you get without the NT machine but I
think it's bad that there isn't a native OS/2 equivalent.

I suppose it does explain it, but locking people out
of broadband access because Windows has
proprietary access techniques, that of course
cannot be implemented in another OS, is still
an ugly restraint of user choice. Given the way
Microsoft is buying up cable TV providers
(who also provide broadband internet access)
people will be forced to pay yet another Microsoft
tax. "We're sorry sir, even though your servers
run Unix, you have to connect to our service
through Windows".
</RANT>

I suppose it's too difficult just to implement
standard TCP/IP connectivity. Instead you
have to have MSN/IP the new "extended"
standard.

Subj: File & Print Client won't install

From: slindsey@facstaff.wisc.edu

I can't get the File & Print Client in Warp 4 to install.  I've tried
installing it repeatedly but the Network icon does not show up under
Connections and when I go back in to Selective Install for Networks the
client is listed as NOT installed.  I've read mention of this problem
on other web pages but no details on a solution were given (something
to do with the config.sys file).  Any suggestions?  Please email as
well as post.

Thanks

I don't have trouble with this. I usually get a .err if I do mess up.
That works pretty well.

My problem is that I have logging control = disabled on all my rules,
yet the hard drive goes constantly whenever the firewall is accessed,
and the log shows every single transaction! I suppose it's logging
everything _but_ my rules. Can't I shut ALL logging off, or just log
certain ports? This poor P90 is killing my Tribes connection ;-)

Subj: UPM installed without File and Print Client?

From: alex@eddie.cis.uoguelph.ca (Alex Taylor)

I've run up against something interesting with two of the OS/2 machines I
maintain here at work.  These machines were put in place before I started
here, and are in a very closed production environment, so I don't get to
poke around them all that much.

Basically, User Profile Management services seems to be installed on them,
but the File and Print Client is not.  I didn't think this was possible.

I was trying to install UPM service pack IP08406 on them (as Y2K is coming
up and this contains a few fixes for UPM, Peer, etc.).  However, the CSF
claimed it could find no products available to service.  That's funny, I
thought to myself, and checked SYSLEVEL.  UPM is listed as installed,
level WR08000.

I tried several tricks for installing, but the CSF refused.  I then
noticed that the IBMLAN directory does not exist.  Curious, I loaded up
Selective Install for Networking, and, sure enough, beside "File and Print
Client" it says "not installed".

My question is: under what circumstances can UPM get installed without the
File and Print Client?  And do I need to install FP&C in order to apply
service to UPM?

This machine runs DB/2, Personal Communications, and a few other things.
DB/2 and the 'other things' require UPM and the user accounts database to
function, but the LAN client and peer services are not needed.  I am
anxious to get UPM Y2K compliant, however, so I need to install IP08406.

Any suggestions?

Thanks...

DB2 installs UPM so that it can have a place to keep
the logon ID's and passwords for the DB2 users.

I have no idea if this is updated by the DB2 fixpacks or not.

IIRC, the Netfinity which comes with OS/2 is at a lower rev level and may
have fewer features.  AFAIK it contains remote control.

The latest and most full featured version is Netfinity Manager 5.2.2(?)
and is available from the PC company.  If you get to the point where you
rely on the product and require support, then buy the retail product.

Subj: Re: Remote Control of Remote Systems

From: "Roland Pinches" <Roland.Pinches@pmail.net>

The version of Netfinity I was using came with Warp Server and its was called
System View. Because System View was so shite, IBM gave a free upgrade to
Netfinity Server 4.0, which was better but not great. We actually bought
TME10 Netfinity 5.0 as an upgrade and made extensive use of the Remote
Workstation Control (RWC) functionality. Version 5 was, IMHO, much better
than version 4.

TME 10 Netfinity comes in two parts, the Manager part and the Services part.
I'm not sure if the full product comes with the OS/2 client or just the
'services' part. You need the Manager part to be able to take control of a
remote workstation.

Do you have an entry in the \mptn\etc\hosts file
for 127.0.0.1 that has the host name of your machine?

What do you mean?
All you need to do is to create your zone files and start named.
Logging (if configured) is handled by the syslog daemon
The install also creates a folder with action icons

From: cmhall@umich.edu (Chris Hall)

We've got a local peer network going which works very well. I have both
netbios and netbios over tcp/ip enabled, and can view and share resources
on OS/2 and Win95 machines. However, a Mac running either Dave or
Apple Share won't even let me view what shares are available, let alone
provide a password. Error message is 58, meaning that the machine cannot
provide the requested service. Running Warp 4, FP12, Lan & Prot services at
8423, TCP/IP at 8423, Net Services and Peer at 8400, Lan Req. at 8406. Anyone
out there been successful in a peer relationship with a Mac have any ideas
for configuring things so we can at least see what's available?

Try making sure CONFIG.SYS contains no lines greater than 250 characters
in length.  This includes lines which are rem'd out.  The LAN client
installer has a serious bug which causes installation to fail if any line
in the file is longer.

Subj: File Sharing Errors with Warp 4 & WSeB

From: William Geiger <whgiii@openpgp.net>

Hi,

I am having a file sharing problem on WSeb shared directory. I am 
running a NT application which I have set up to store it's database 
files on the shared directory.

According to the WSeB audit logs the only place I seem to be having 
problems is when the app tries a RWC access to one of the files:

WHGIII              DELL400     Access unsuccessful  12-08-99 12:29AM
RWC D:\dn2id.dbb

The NT app is running as a service and is logging in as the WSeB 
administrator. 

R, W, RW, WC, & D access to the files all work fine but every time there
is a RWC entry in the Audit log I get Access unsuccessful. :(

FWIW I had the same problem trying to use a shared drive on a Warp 4 
client.

If anyone knows what the @#$@#$ is going on please let me know.

tks,

Can you kindly tell me whether I could load the TCP/IP info under "lan 1"? If
so, how would tell the machine whether I wanted to connect to lan 0 or lan 1?
Is it possible to be connected (at least at the DNS level) to both?

Thanks.

Just use MPTS to configure the driver for the network card
and add the TCP/IP protocol for that interface.

You can have TCP/IP bound to a maximum of 8 NIC's (I think that's
the limit anyway).

The "route" statements in the SETUP.CMD file determine which
interface is used for sending out the packets.

If you have two NIC's 

ifconfig lan0 10.1.1.1
route add net 205.200 10.1.1.1 
route add net 200.100 10.1.1.1

ifconfig lan1 10.1.2.1
route add net 168 10.1.2.1
route add net 54,1 10.1.2.1

route add default 205.200.1.1


This configuration will route packets to
any IP address in the subnet 205.200 through
the lan0 interface (they will have to connected to
the LAN the NIC is part of). It will also route
packets for any address 200.100.x.x through
lan0

The second NIC will be used to pass along
packets addressed to the sub nets 168.x.x.x
and 54.1.x.x (the machines on those sub nets 
will have to attached to the LAN the NIC is part of).

Any packets addressed to IP addresses that
are outside of the named sub net routes will
be sent to the IP address 205.200.1.1 which
will be sent out through lan0 as that NIC has
a sub net route for that IP address.

Clear as mud, right?

So what does the host command give you when you query the localhost
host? It should give the localhost IP.

But I must admit that, apart from Win9X, NT, and probably Linux, the
OS/2 community has already been treated fairly well than the others.
Look at driver supports. Look at NVidia and VIA. At least there are
official drivers for us. What about other OSes? No, not a penny spent on
them. While these users are struggling to survive, sometimes even
writing their own drivers to survive, I must admit that we're already
enjoying a privilage, considering that OS/2's market share isn't
anything much better than the others.

However may curse falls on IBM. Now IBM no longer markets this product,
support to TeamOS/2 is over (still I think they're a wonderful team,
although I haven't contributed anything to it), no more OS/2 Warp 5,
blah blah blah. We cannot blame other companies not to release a OS/2
version of their products (both hard & softwares), when the mother
company of OS/2 abandon her own son! So I think the future of OS/2, if
not made dead by IBM, must be: 1) open the source code, like Linux - I
believe there will be no direct competition between these two as they're
aiming at different markets. But it's Bill Gates who'll be scared to
death. 2) Sell the OS/2 Client out of IBM completely, instead of holding
the licence but do nothing good to it at all. Maybe RedHat? Caldera?
Just like DR Dos? Or Sun? Maybe AOL is interested.

Anyway where is my original post? Seems that we shouldn't blame other
OSes that have better market shares. If we all support OS/2 and make it
grow larger and better (and of course with the help from IBM, now
non-existent), companies will come and give their support without we
OS/2 users bombing their marketing department's mailboxs!

Tony Pang

I'm not sure what you're trying to do.  Do you want two cards enabled 
or a different card for each location?  If all you need is a second 
card, it is done in MPTS.  If you need different cards for different 
locations, you'll have to create some .CMD files that can swap files 
at bootup as required.  The files you need to swap are 
\mptn\bin\setup.cmd and \ibmlan\ibmlan.ini.  Both cards have to be in 
config.sys, unless you also want to swap or change that file.

If you are looking for a POP3 server to deliver mail to
people there is a POP3 server os2pops.zip on the
IBM PC Company FTP site

URL ftp://ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/os2_ews/os2pops.zip

It is Employee Written software, and it worked OK when I
tried it out.

You use it in conjunction with sendmail (used to get mail
delivered from the internet).

I think you've told me what I need to know.
One ethernet card goes to am ADSL device.
The other card would go to an 24/7 ISDN link to my office network, which gets
me through the firewall and gains me access to my office e-mail files and
other otherwise restricted goodies.
In NT4, I had both cards working for awhile but then IP contention errors set
in and the whole edifice crashed.

Thanks.

I assume you meant "host localhost" as the command

Also, what if Apache queries the DNS to resolve the name?
If there is no DNS accessible then it might not work.

In my case I have this entry in my httpd.conf file

ServerName sobieski.powersurfr.com

See what happens when you are connected to the net and enter your
hostname as assigned by your ISP.
Most likely will work.

Edit your RESOLV2 file (x:\mptn\etc)

You can have a max of 3 DNS servers

Here is mine

domain powersurfr.com
nameserver 206.75.216.200 <----- will be queried first
nameserver 206.75.216.210 <----- will be queried second

if you type in

domain your.domain
nameserver 127.0.0.1 <----- will be queried first
nameserver your.isp.DNS.IP <----- will be queried second

Just add another zone entry in the named.conf file (x:\mptn\etc)

like so

zone "domain.com" IN {
	type master;
	file "domain.zone"; <-------- this filename can be anything you want
};

Then in the x:\mptn\etc\namedb directory create the zone file (in our
case domain.zone)

like so


@	IN	SOA	domain.com.	postmaster.domain.com. (
/* doesn't have to be postmaster. use the email of the admin */
199911030 /* version of xone file*/
8H
2H
1W
1D )
NS dns1.domain.com. /* DNS1 for this domain */
NS dns2.domain.com. /* DNS2 for this domain */
MX 10 mail.domain.com.  /* mail server for this doamin*/
MX 20 mail.anotherdomain.com.  /* backup mail server */

/* any hosts for this domain */
dns1 A 207.167.13.1
dns2 A 207.167.13.2

Subj: Connecting to a Linux server

From: "Barry" <72764.2166@csi.com>

I have 2 computers networked.  Computer #1 runs Red Hat Linux 6.0,  Computer
#2 is a dual boot OS/2-WIN98 computer.  If I boot Computer #2 to WIN98 and
set it up to use either DHCP or manually entering of the IP address, I do
connect to the Linux box and see the shares.  
If I boot computer #2 to OS/2 and setup TCPIP to manually enter the IP
address, I do connect to the Linux box and see the shares.
However, If I change the TCPIP settings to automatically get IP address using
the Linux computer's DHCP server (and that is the only change I am making),
reboot, I do NOT see the Linux box.  I know the DHCP is working okay on the
OS/2 side since the DHCP monitor shows a valid lease with the correct IP
address (the same IP address that shows when I boot WIN98 using DHCP).  Of
course if I change back to manually entering the IP address, the shares then
show up.  Any ideas?

What version of MPTS do you have installed?

There are bugs in the earlier releases of MPTS and it's
DHCP handling. If you haven't tried it yet update the
MPTS level to WR8610.

I believe this is configured in NAMED.CONF, which you do have to edit 
locally.

Also, there's an entry near the bottom of the docs that says:

	> > start the server
	> >   ndc start

Which I accomplish by putting this line in my STARTUP.CMD file:

	call=e:\web\bind\bin\ndc.cmd start

NDC.CMD was already in the BIND8 distribution. As I understand it, 
this is all that's needed, to kick off E:\WEB\BIND\BIN\NAMED.EXE, 
which eats lots of CPU (according to TOP) when things are quiet but 
doesn't get in the way when things get jumping, and even to

I believe all I'm doing with the basic setup is providing local 
caching for DNS lookups. There are directions for turning it into a 
full-bore DNS server, but I haven't fooled with it. Our local ISP's 
(RoadRunner) name server is woefully slow, and installing BIND speeded
things up noticeably.

>    What can I say I'm new to this stuff...

You can't be any greener at it than I was when I installed it earlier 
in the year. I stumbled through and got it to load every time, so I 
assume it's working.

However. If you have a slowish DNS server, there's a more direct way 
(I believe) to supply IP numbers, if you have URLs that are accessed 
on a regular basis. As most individuals do.

Add this line to CONFIG.SYS:

SET USE_HOSTS_FIRST=1

Then start adding entries to your HOSTS file, probably 
x:\MPTN\ETC\HOSTS, as in the first few lines quoted below from my own:

127.0.0.1     smart.cache     scache      # customization 9/18/99
4.22.129.30     superpages.gte.net           #
24.92.3.50     rrweb2           #
24.94.23.192     www.dynhost.com           #


HOSTS entries allow local aliases, such as the "scache" entry for 
SmartCache, so that I can just type "scache" into the proxy blank. Or 
you can even use aliasing to associate a target IP with a web URL, to 
provide some control over browsers in a network.

I'm no expert in this, and like very much like to use a utility called
RACERNET to import the URLs contained in various HTML (BOOKMARK.HTM, 
WebOrg pages, etc.), extract an IP number, then verify the link as 
being active, and *then* when you close it, it adds all the new 
entries to HOSTS for me. Find it at:

 There is a problem with the icons when you install again. I think it is
tied up with the fact that at the end of a full OS/2 install a program
called CLNDESK is run. This shuffles all the desktop icons. I suspect that
when we try to reinstall F&P it can't handle the new layout.
Try this
Paste the lines below to a file 'fandp.rsp'
