You might as well. That one is updated with the same
tool you use to apply the regular OS fixpacks. So you 
will need the CSF 1.41 fixtool.

Try TCPHELP TELNET

If you have your TCP/IP stack set up all you usually
have to do is type

TELNET whatever.the.bbs.name.is

and log on using the BBS log on procedure.

The telnet client can be set up to emulate a
number of different types of terminals, but the
default usually works.

Go into the TCP/IP configuration notebook and find the page that allows
you to enable telnetd.  You are given the choice of running telnetd by
itself, or letting the inetd super server handle it.  Of course, you'll
need to establish a password for telnet access.

The default telnet in OS/2 will work but it won't allow you to
up/download anything if my memory serves me correctly.
Zoc and Hyperaccess can be used as telnet clients or
you can visit http://ozone.eesc.com and grab a free, no
frills telnet client called mTelnet that works just great.

Has anyone had any success with it?

The problem may well be related to EMX rather than WSeB, since 
popuplog.os2 shows a trap in EMXLIBCM.DLL. The last time I ran it
successfully was with Warp Server and a previous version of EMX.

Well, no reason for such an assertion when you have yet to
figure out what the exact problem is. I can guarantee you
that if logging is turned off in the right places, then it's
really OFF!

> 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

Either logging it turned off in the wrong places or you have
forgot to turn off the trace facility in gwpm.exe. If logging
really is what gives the harddisk ticks then simply look
directly in the log to see which firewall rule that is
responsible.

I think you'll find that the harddisk ticks are caused by
something else. Maybe accounting rules?

I can assist you if you e-mail me privately or on the InJoy
mailing list.

I don't think that telnetd will you the trick. Escpecially up-/donloads will
not be easy to setup. Have a look at Ray Gwinn's SIO package. It has a nice
utility called "Virtual Modem". It emulates a comport/modem on a TCP/IP stack.
For incoming calls it listens on the Telnet port (23). You can run the same
BBS software as you did for years with your real modem.

From: "Stephen Eickhoff (remove the - to reply)" <operagost@e-mail.com>

You can configure printers from any browser using WebJetAdmin. However, you
escape the fact that will probably need a really powerful server running
Windows NT to host it.

By the way, I saw some comments in this thread about DLC. You can use DLC to
print to JetDirects, but you must add the 802.2 protocol in MPTS to do so. I
recommend against it on either OS/2 or Windows NT. Instead, on NT install
TCP/IP Printing support and set up an LPD port. Use "raw" as the service name.
With OS/2, I've found it easiest to use JetAdmin and enable only TCP/IP. Then
I go into printer properties and add a new HP Network port for that printer.

Subj: Re: DSL Not Always On

From: "Walter S. Rue" <wsrue@BellAtlantic.net>

My original statement that BellAtlantic recognized only M$ Windows
clients was incomplete.  They also support certain Apple Mac clients. 
The software comes from iVasion, who is otherwise unknown to me.

But my surprise at the OS restriction leads me to wonder if a "bait and
switch" game is afoot.  None of the prominent announcements, promotions
or FAQs I could find at www.bellatlantic.com/infospeed mentioned OS
requirements.  Not even PPP was identified.  Maybe the silence was
simply because their first round of DSL service used static IP addresses
and they hadn't got round to updating the material.  But when asked to
confirm their RFC support, they had nothing to say.  Instead, they
referred me to iVasion, who replied only with a couple of Linux sites
dealing with PPP issues, perhaps trying to imply something.  Responding
to a direct question later, I finally heard one technical rep admit that
PPPoE was the protocol.  I guess I am not sure they were obfuscating
deliberately.  But some of this was clearly unprofessional and
amaturish.  Maybe M$ played a role too -- who knows!

Eventually, I found a technical rep who claimed familiarity with Linux
and, in response to an e-mail, heard from another claiming familiarity
with OS/2.  The latter assured me that connection was possible but did
not say how.  Later, after I was up and running, the rep on the phone
during the initial connection test was originally skeptical but
afterward invited me to send a description so they would have something
for future OS/2 users.

Hello !

I would like to know what is the best firewall for a dial-up connection 
for OS/2.
NAT translation is optionnal, logging is important, complete control on 
rules is important too.
I have tried InJoy FW and SafeFire but both seems to be aimed at 
permanent connexion (don't see the dial-up connexion as a lan adapter). 
I have tried the one supplied with TCP/IP 4.1 but it lacks of 
documentation and it doesn't want to log anything (LOG_DLL: OPENLOG: 
facility=32, error code=3, dosopen: error code = 3).

Try InternetGate from maccasoft.com.  It allows free evaluation with one
server & one client.  You
must be using TCPIP.  It also can be configured for lan, dial-up or permanent
cable.

Let me know if you try it.  I've set it up on dial-up and it works well and
I'm waiting
for cable in my area.

Subj: Re: DSL Not Always On

From: "Walter S. Rue" <wsrue@BellAtlantic.net>

After finally determining that PPPoE was the required protocol, "up and
running" became rather simple.  Some details might be of use.

The BellAtlantic DSL service in my area (north of Boston) is branded as
"Infospeed DSL", URL www.bellatlantic.com/infospeed.  By the way, this
was NYNEX until the recent merger, and the "Infospeed" DSL incarnation
may have been of NYNEX origin.  In addition to the data line, it
features simultaneous voice, so we retain our original phone number and
voice service.  I chose the 640kb speed for price reasons, but two
higher speeds are also available.  Instead of the static IP address I
expected (and which Mr. Glass apparently has), they use PPPoE for its
connect & disconnect functions, even though the line itself is
electrically nonswitched.  BA explained that with static addresses
Windows' Network Neighborhood somehow showed all of them together,
making them equally accessible (maybe firewalls are only for those in
the know).  So PPPoE with its connection control was their response.

From Mr. Thacker's suggestion, I downloaded Link Guard Solution's
Safefire PPP over Ethernet (SFPPP).  After clearing up questions about
which (sample) CFG files to use and which path they should be in, and
also about dissociating TCP/IP from the ethernet card, it simply worked
and continues to work.  It is true after all: this DSL is (nearly)
always on!  I should add that LGS technical support was very responsive
and knowledgable.  But one thing the iVasion clients do that SFPPP
doesn't is the one-time account setup -- establishing the userid/mailid
& password and selecting a mail server.  So BA did that for me over the
phone.  The resulting uid/pw, of course, are copied into the CFG.

Apart from the OS & protocol obfuscations, the other thing I dislike is
the requirement to change ISP.  BA states that other ISP choices may be
available later, without saying when.  But later is too late.  I could
keep ATTGlobal for e-mail only, of course, but the duplicate expense and
the repeated switching from DSL to dial-up and back would be a big
nuisance.  So, except for the unlikely event that ATT makes an ISP deal
with BA within the next few days, I'm out.  It seems that at least
e-mail continuity may be a thing of the past.

Subj: NAT and WSeB?

From: rde@tavi.co.uk (Bob Eager)

A while ago (more than once) I recall seeing comments on using NAT 
under WSeB, using the vanilla system rather than an add-on such as 
InJoy. I particularly recall that it was supposed to be difficult to 
find out about hiw to do it!

I agree. I can't find out.

Anyone have any pointers please? Which CD should I be looking at for 
starters!

ATTGlobal mail can be downloaded from BellAtlantic.Net and vice-versa.

Until BellAtlantic.Net establishes a better dialup system (its only
available from Va to NJ), you'll probably want to keep a nationwide ISP as
backup anyhow.

Thanks for the assist.  I suppose it's progress, but now (using LINKUP) I
get a connect and logon, and it starts MR2 just fine.  But after a few
minutes the dialer displays the message "SYS1806 The system cannot start
the program in the foreground" - even though MR2 is running just fine
(although it's just sitting "checking for new mail", it's obviously not
getting through).

Try SafeFire PPP. It is the package suited for Dial-up connections

I am not able to use igate between two win98 connected via a parallel port.
The direct connection win98 -_ win98 works for file transfer, but no for
tcpip connections. Has anyone tried it?

Try the Injoy Dialer with the Firewall Plugin. Injoy Firewall (the
product) *is* aimed at a permanent connection (Cable or DSL). The
Injoy Dialer is used for Dial-Up connections, and there is a firewall
plugin available for it when you regsiter at the Professional and SOHO
level. See BMT Micro for registration.

You should try the InJoy Dialer with firewall plugin (SOHO version)
instead of InJoy Firewall.

Thanks. It's very interesting, but all about the AIX firewall product.
Is there some equivalent included with WSeB? If so, where?

A lot of that is about firewall functionality (which is not new to me)
and Chapter 10 covers configuration. But not how to do it (or even 
install it) in WSeb...

Lorne,

I was reading thru some messages here and on Compuserve and I added something
that solved the problem.  What I did was add to DHCPD.CFG file the following:

option 12  <hostname>

with <hostname> being my actual hostname with no quotes.  Why this solved the
problem I'm not sure.  How one could know this without lucking out by reading
it I'm not sure either.

 First up check LANTRAN,LOG in IBMCOM to see if your LAN is initialising
correctly. If everything in there is OK then try 'netstat -r' to see if
your routes are correct and 'netstat -a' to check the addresses. Can you
ping your adapters as well as 127.0.0.1.
Certainly the messages you are getting when loading are something I have
never seen. Do you recall doing anything to the system (fixpacks, new
config etc)?

Regards

Subj: TCP ?

From: barry@servtech.com (Barry Bogart)

Hi,
    I just installed Warp v4. I applied FP 12 and now I need to update the 
TCP/IP. I ran Inetver and is reports 4.00e

Where do I get the TCP/ip fixes?

Happy Holidays.

Subj: IBM Network Client problem on Warp server Domain.

From: Carl King <carlking@healthquestnutrition.com>

I am using the IBM Networking Client on a win95 machine and it works
quite seemlessly authenticating to a Warp Server PDC. The problem is
when I try to use the Dynamic IP client. I lose my domain controller
connectivity after I install the Dyn IP client. DHCP and DDNS work fine
at that point (I can both release and renew IP from the client and ping
other hosts by name) , but then I can't authenticate to the PDC. If I
remove the Dynamic IP client, the connectivity returns to normal. If I
try to use the MS DHCP option in Win95, I also lose an authentication
connection.

This seem more like a problem with the IBM Networks client for Win95 to
connect to a Warp server PDC since the loss of authentication happens
with either the IBM Dyn IP client or the MS Win95 DHCP option.

Feed back Please!!!!

The client is IPx8311 FixPak for IBM Networks Client for Windows 95.

Hi,

This (admittedly odd) message simply means that your connection
has dropped. Either the ISP disconnected you for some reason
(unlikely in a short time), or the modem tried to retrain and
failed. You just have to find the DOIP window and hit dial to
make it redial and reconnect. The program in the foreground that
the message appears to refer to is the slip or ppp connection
program which has exited. The dialer window is just a facade that
runs these command-line based programs for you. Personally, I
like (love) InJoy which redials automatically -- wakes me up
since the sound is on.

Cheers,
Peter

go to the Warp home page for IBM from there select downloads then select

of software choice

To: Carl King <carlking@healthquestnutrition.com>
From: Les Benn <lesben@ptcom.net>

Carl I just finished doing that on my network at home, I have Aurora
Server and win 98 (the almost Y2K compliant version). First you have to
start the DHCP Server on Warp (put a shadow in the startup folder)

Then on Win 9x open network in the Control Panel and set the button to
get ip address dynamicly. If you don't have DHCP Server I think it is
available from IBM.

Subj: Wierd problem, can't connect to certain hosts on network

From: "Khairil Yusof" <mohd.k.yusof@bohm.anu.edu.au>

I'm connected to the LAN via ethernet and on 
subnet mask 255.255.255.0

Using Warp 4/TCP4.1 (lastest fixpacks).

I can't access a computer on another subnet mask for some strange 
reason, even though I can connect to every other computer on the 
network.

I'm on at: 

fenner50.anu.edu.au 150.203.110.50

and the computer which I can't connect to has two ip addresses 
and two host names: 

help.anu.edu.au   150.203.121.96
fenner.anu.edu.au 150.203.121.99

I have no problems connecting to other computers on that subnet.
eg. 150.203.121.100, 150.203.121.101, 150.203.121.1 etc. I just can't 
connect to this computer.

I can't understand why. All other computers on the network though can 
access it. Sometimes I can but most of the time I can't. It's only one 
hop away.

Any suggestions/solutions would be much apprecieated.

You can't run IPX OVER IP, but you can run it as well as. Just 
type "MPTS" and go through the configure screens till you get 
to the protocol setup and add IPX.

Sorry.. just solved it.

Removed net entry in routes and then created a host route entry to 
help. Strange why it would not connect only to these two host 
entries..

Any explanations why?

Subj: Re: Logging in from OS/2 to Windows NT network

From: jaker <jaker@smatnet.net>

If you are running OS/2 Warp 3.0 Connect or later you can use either LAN
Requester or Peer-to-Peer services to connect with a Microsoft network.  You
need to be running NetBEUI on the NT server and your OS/2 box.  Both Lan
Requester  and Peer-to-Peer services include a graphical browser for creating
shared drives/folders and browsing Microsoft Network shared resources.

If you have to use TCP/IP then you are going have to load NFS software on both
the NT server and the OS/2 box.  I believe that you can get a free NFS client
from IBM's web site.  I know that On-Net's Interdrive for NT will give your
NT server the NFS capability but this is rather expensive.

Well, I have get a syslog from Hobbes (a direct port from BSD I think). 
When it starts (syslog), it says that /mptn/etc/syslog.log is write 
protected (it isn't). I will try to switch back to standard syslog from 
OS/2.

Subj: OS/2 implementation of TCP/IP

From: "Nelmark" <nelmark@athenet.net>

I'm an amateur on OS/2 so please bear with me...

Does OS/2 support variable length subnet masks?  My company has 4 Class C
nets supernetted together, thus a subnet mask of 255.255.252.0.  When I try
to set this up on an OS/2 machine we have it doesn't seem to work.  I
changed the settings is the setup.cmd batch file found in the c:\mptn\bin
directory, is that where the settings should be changed?

Any helped would be appreciated, thank you.

It does support that form of subnet mask. The other
thing that may be causing you a problem is an
extra "route add net" statement in that same file.
There should only be a "route add default".

Subj: Disappearing hosts

From: "Khairil Yusof" <mohd.k.yusof@bohm.anu.edu.au>

I removed the net statement.

I then added a host route statement to a host I couldn't reach for 
some strange reason.

This fixes the problem, however after a certain period this host 
disappears again until I run mptstart again. This is how it looks 
like:

---

default              150.203.110.1        done
63.68.131.237        150.203.110.1        done
150.203.110.1        lan:0.0.c.fd.d4.c4   done
150.203.121.96       150.203.110.1        done
150.203.121.100      150.203.110.1        done
no ARP table entries present
add net default: gateway 150.203.110.1

add host 150.203.121.96: gateway 150.203.110.1

---

should the add host statement come first?

Subj: Netscape for Win-OS/2 Problem

From: tvoltagg@home.com

I have been running my 16 Bit Netscape in win-os/2 for a long time now
(Netscape 4.08).  Before you ask...Yes, I mostly use Netscape for OS/2 ver 
4.61, but I also use Quicken 98 for win 3.1 in win-os/2 and in order to do 
online banking, I need to run the win 3.1 version of Netscape.  

I use Warp 4 FP 12 and tcpip 4.1 with the 8620 stack.
I recently tried to tune the thing, and now I have screwed up my configuration
so badly, that I cannot connect anymore.  I get the error that "Netscape is 
unable to locate the server..."

I have copied the resolv2 file and called it resolv and put it in my
x:\mptn\etc
directory.  I have taken out all the winsock.dll's except the one 
in x:\tcpip\dos\bin.  I have added the set etc=x:\mptn\etc in autoexec.bat, 
yet I still can't connect.  I went back to the winsock help web sites for OS/2 

and have done everything that they say, but am still unable to connect at all.
So, a few questions:

1 - Is there a good FAQ for this?
2 - I can connect fine in OS/2.  Does modifying the tcpip configuration solve
this DOS problem, or should I leave the tcpip configuration alone?
3 - It is so confusing between whether I should be pointing to the mptn or
tcpip directories.  Which should I point to?
4 - HELP!!!!!

1) Have you x:\tcpip\dos\bin in the PATH statement in your autoexec.bat?
2) Check your config.sys for the lines:
   DEVICE=X:\TCPIP\BIN\VDOSTCP.SYS
   DEVICE=X:\MPTN\BIN\VDOSTCP.VDD
   RUN=X:\MPTN\BIN\VDOSCTL.EXE
3) Check DOS_DEVICE setting in the properties for this WinOS2 session
   for the value C:\TCPIP\BIN\VDOSTCP.SYS

Software Choice requires a subscription for a two year period worth $209.

To the original poster:

- backup your system
- get MPTS FixPak WR08610 and install
  http://www.warpupdates.de/english/net_mpts54.html
- test if it works for you (some users reported problems)
- if the above FixPak doesn't work, restore your system and get
  MPTS FixPak WR08423 (and WR08424 on top of it if you like) and install
  http://www.warpupdates.de/english/net_mpts51.html
- get TCP/IP FixPak UN_0980 and install
  http://www.warpupdates.de/english/tcpip40.html#fixpak

The MPTS FixPak(s) contain(s) the TCP/IP stack needed as a prerequisite for
the TCP/IP FixPak, which contains fixes for the services.

Good luck!

Subj: Still Not Quite There?!

From: heloman@my-deja.com

I am running Warp 4.0 w/fp 12 and am connected to the
RoadRunner system. I find that the system isn't
connecting to the rr system and ready to run after
boot up. I open the DHCP screen and it shows a valid
address and lease yet when I try to get NS4.61 to go
anywhere nothing happens. If I click on 'get lease'
in the DHCP screen (even though it shows a valid
lease) then go back and allow NS4.61 to search for a
site it appears to run o.k. What setting/switch am I
missing? From my understanding after boot up I should
be able to get NS4.61 to go to work immediately.Any
help would be appreciated.....

Try cycling that "release lease" "get lease" procedure on a couple of 
sessions. I found it sort of straightened itself out if I did that.

 Use 'netstat -r' and 'netstat -a' to inspect your routes and addresses. Are
they
OK. Also check the DHCPCD.CFG file in mptn\etc. Many people have found that
they
need to make a few modes to this before DHCP will work properly.
I have found that with WR8421 the original DHCP problems were fixed. Watch out 
for
WR8610/20, there are a few tricks to it. Check the Warp Updates page
http://www.warpupdates.de/english/warpupdates.html.
If all else fails, run a trace of the setup phase and see what shows up.

 First, at least while you are getting this problem resolved, abandon LINKUP.
It is just for the IBM/ATT network. Use the 'Internet Utilities (LAN)' folder
or edit you WPS objects that are kicking linkup off. Just start the dialler
(DOIP) by itself, and start MR2 itself.
Re your original post, you may need to check the DOIP settings that you
entered.

Subj: Realtek and OS/2

From: andrew@netneurotic.de (Andrew J. Brehm)

Maybe somebody can help me...

I have two machines, one running OS/2 (occasionally).

While the network works fine under Linux, BeOS, and Windows (on one
machine), OS/2 is somewhat isolated.

I installed the network adapter correctly (as I understand) with the
drivers that came with the adapter. I had to copy the driver (pcind.os2)
manually, because the setup script didn't do it.

ifconfig lan0 correctly shows that the IP address assigned to the
adapter is 192.168.0.41 and I can ping that address from the same
machine.

However, I cannot ping 192.168.0.42 (the other machine) and neither can
I ping 192.168.0.41 from the other machine. The OS/2 workstation is
simply isolated.

Since the adapter works fine under BeOS, Windows, and Linux, I assume
something must be wrong with the software configuration, but what could
it be?

I have Desktop On-call 2.5 installed on a host NT 4 workstation.  If
someone is logged in on the host, I can control it remotedly from any
browser.

However, I can't figure out any way to log on remotely.  The emulation
buttons for Control and Alt seem to work individually with TAB, ESC,
etc.  But I can't figure out any way to send Ctrl-Alt-Del.

According to this product description, it should be possible, even with
the earlier version (2.0).

http://www.jp.ibm.com/esbu/E/dtoc/features2.html

Anybody figured this out?  Both NetOp and PCAnywhere have explicit
configuration for this.  Seems a real shortcoming if DToC doesn't.

        Sometimes (a lot ot the time) Warp 3&4 will add an extra route
statement to "setup.cmd" that can foul things up. Take a look at your 
"setup.cmd" in x:\mptn\bin; where x: is the boot drive or the drive that
contains the mptn directory. If you have a line that starts 
"route add net..." delete that line. Then make sure that you are in the
mptn\bin directory and type "setup.cmd". That should get you going and
the next time that you boot you should also be OK.

        Just remember to check the setup.cmd file anytime you make changes
to your TCP/IP configuration using the TCP/IP configuration notebook, and
delete the "route add net..." line if it exits.

Usually these remote control programs will accept a Ctrl, Alt and the D key

Subj: Injoy Firewall

From: "Stephen Eickhoff (remove the - to reply)" <operagost@e-mail.com>

I've only been able to get a maximum of about 25Kbps, and an average of a
measly 10Kbps out of my 640Kbps ADSL. I suspected three things:

1) I don't have a "home run", so the digital data has to travel up an old
single pair about 50 feet to my apartment, thereby negating the fact
that the CO is right outside the building.

2) Bell Atlantic's network just sucks.

3) The logging of EVERY FRIGGIN CONNECTION by Injoy Firewall was bogging
down my poor old P90.

Since, after reading the documentation several times, there seems to be
NO WAY of completely turning off logging (I tried, it doesn't work), I decided
to simply make the log file read-only. That seems to have done the trick. I
instantly managed to max out at 640Kbps and get an AVERAGE of 25-30 Kbps now.
I'd really rather have some logging, just on certain ports. It's a shame that
FX's tech support still hasn't answered my e-mail. Maybe English is the wrong
language or something? They didn't mind taking my money!

Unless you have a much better machine than mine (A P90 with 48 MB RAM and a
2.1GB Seagate Hawk), I recommend setting gwpm.log read only, at least to see
what happens.

From: rcb@spamx.sandersnet.com (Roger Brett)

Hello,
I've had a problem with the last two versions (at least) of Netscape 
Communicator (4.04 & 4.61).  The problem is that certain things don't 
show up on a web page, such as the search string entry field at the 
Lexmark knowledgebase web site.  Also, at "www.recycledsoftware.com"  
I can't see the pricelist below the category frame.  I can see all of 
the above when using the W9x version.

Is this an HTML rev. compatibility problem?  Has anyone else noticed 
this anomoly?

Thanks,

There never was a Netscape 4.08 for OS/2, as far as I know.  Are you trying
to run a Windows version of Netscape on OS/2?  It can be done, I'm told,
but it's the hard way to do things.

The most likely problem is that you don't have DOS nameserver support
properly installed.  If you switch to the native OS/2 version of Netscape
the problem should go away.

Subj: Re: Injoy Firewall

From: Michael W. Cocke <cocke@catherders.com>

I suspect you may be having other problems - like a loose nut between 
the keyboard and the chairback.

a) Turning logging off in the Injoy firewall turns logging OFF unless 
you've done something else, too.  It's very straightforward.

b) Injoy tech support is flat-out amazing.  Over the last few years I've
gotten used to the idea that manufacturer tech support was worthless.  
Bjarne just forced me to rethink that opinion.  He spent 4 hours with me
yesterday helping me debug something that wasn't even an Injoy problem -
and didn't charge me, either!

I remember that "netstat -r" actually showed my other machine in the

Anyway, the line "route add net..." didn't exist.

Any other ideas?

Subj: Netbios over tcp/ip questions

From: Michael W. Cocke <cocke@catherders.com>

This is the first time I've ever tried to set up netbios over IP, and I 
have a few questions:

I'm trying to connect from one system to another over the internet, and 
I'd like to share drives on them using warp peer.  Questions of security
aside(I already have ipsec & pluto working - thank you Bjarne!), I'm 
having problems setting it up.

I have netbios, tcp/ip, and netbios over tcp/ip configured for the 
appropriate interfaces.  I can ping from one to the other successfully. 

My questions: Is the NET USE syntax supposed to work for drive sharing 
over this link? How?  Is there a way to check if the netbios layer is 
working, other than by trying a NET USE?

Thanks!

Subj: Re: Desktop On-call--How to send Ctrl-Alt-Del to host?

From: "David Thacker" <David @ Thackernet.com>

IBM's support of this great product definitely comes up short, eh?  I have
DTOC 2.5 on an OS/2 server, accessing from an NT client.  I cannot get DTOC
to send a CTRL-C or CTRL-BREAK.  It just sends a plain C even when I have
the CTRL button toggled.

I've never tried a C-A-D sequence, as it would reboot my OS/2 server machine
if it worked...

Good luck getting this resolved.  DTOC is a great product but there are just
a couple niggly things they need to refine.

From: "L. Engelhart" <engel003@mc.duke.edu>

Support, we don't need no stinking support.  We're IBM customers after all.
:-)

I've also got a copy installed on a Warp Server.  That's been working pretty
well, although it's quite sluggish with screen refreshes (even in monochrome
mode).  For example, it takes a long time to scroll to the end of an audit log
file.  Also, the problem with full-screen sessions is irking.  For instance, I
can't look at the Lotus Notes/Domino monitor screen via DToC.  Otherwise it's
quite useful.

But this problem with the NT version is really weird.  How can they even make
an
NT version without it being able to get around the login?  This has got to
some
kind of configuration issue.  There's obviously no question of any useful
remote
control maintenance without being able to restart the computer, then logon
again
when it comes back up--especially since in the Windows world so many
installations or updates require a reboot.

If my NT  workstation host is sitting waiting for logon (the little 'Welcome'
window asking for Ctrl-Alt-Delete) I can connect to it with DToC.  The browser
title bar tells me that that I'm connected to such and such computer, and I
get
a window asking for user ID and password.  It takes the ID and password, then
passes me through to the desktop where I see the logon screen.  So far so
good.
Obviously, the http server on the host is working at that point.

However, not only can I not send a Ctrl-Alt-Delete, but I can't drag the
welcome
window around with the mouse either.  So, it's not taking mouse or keyboard
input at all at that stage.  If I then physically go the workstation and do
Ctrl-Alt-Delete, the IBM client window comes up.  But even then, I can't use
DToC to type in the password and click OK.   Only after logon does keyboard
and
mouse input work again.

So there's something about that logon stage that interferes with mouse and
keyboard input.

I did notice that after installation, the IBM network client had stopped
working.  That is, instead of the client coming up I just got the regular
Windows logon.  After I re-installed the client it seemed to work fine, but
perhaps this is involved somehow.  I'll try next uninstalling the IBM client
first, then re-installing DToC.  If that doesn't work, I'll probably install
all
the available services and protocols to see if that makes any difference.

I just wish I knew how to contact the person or persons at IBM Japan who know
all about this product.

Subj: Re: Desktop On-call - Version 3.0

From: "L. Engelhart" <engel003@mc.duke.edu>

I was doing another search on IBM Japan and found this page which refers to a
DToC Version 3.0.

http://www.jp.ibm.com/pspjinfo/javadesk/v201.html

There also seem to be fix packs for versions 3.0 and 2.0 here:

ftp://service.japan.ibm.co.jp/pub/ps/fixpak/personsw/dtoc/

Nothing in English of course.  And since there's no mention of a Version 2.5,
maybe the English Version 2.5 is the Japanese Version 3.0.

I'm curious about those fixpaks though.

Anyway, if anyone reads this who can translate the Japanese for us, we'd
appreciate it.

Subj: Re: Desktop On-call--a little progress

From: "L. Engelhart" <engel003@mc.duke.edu>

I made some progress.  I first removed the IBM networking client, then removed
DToC, then re-installed DToc.  At that point, I found that I could log in to
the host perfectly, of course this was just the standard Windows login.

Subsequently, I re-installed the IBM preferred client and it broke the DToC.
So now we know who doesn't play together nicely.  Just removing the IBM client
doesn't fix it either.  DToC has to be re-installed to make it work.

I don't have any more time this evening, but at next opportunity I'll try with
the IBM coordinated client, different orders of installation, etc.  I wish I
had a utility that would tell me each and every file and Registry key that was
added or changed by these applications.

Hi, Roger,

This may be a problem with the fixed font. It defaults to Courier
New, which is installed with WinOS2. If this font is not
available, data entry fields shrink to zero height, etc. Try
changing the fixed font (Edit->Preferences->Appearance->fonts) to
plain Courier, and make sure the size is reasonable. This was
reported for Comm 4.61; I don't know about 4.04.

HTH,
Peter

The DOS/WinOS2 ETC environment variable must point to a directory
containing a resolv file. The default autoexec.bat in the boot
directory sets this to x:\tcpip\dos\etc where there is a resolv
file maintained somehow -- possibly by DOIP. If you don't have
this, possibly due to a different autoexec.bat, or if the file is
missing, WinOS2 programs won't find the nameserver. To avoid
fussing with two resolv files, folks have reported success
pointing the DOS ETC to the same place as the OS/2 value,
normally x:\MTPN\ETC.

Cheers,
Peter

Subj: Re: Injoy Firewall

From: "Stephen Eickhoff (remove the - to reply)" <operagost@e-mail.com>

Thanks to both of you for flaming me. I am certainly not a nutcase, I've been
using OS/2 for 5 years. Yes, as I matter of fact I DO take such comments
seriously. I DID send an e-mail last week and DID NOT receive a response.
Whether you two received great service is _irrelevant_. I did NOT. I have the
1.2 version, the latest, and ever since it was set up originally with 1.1 I've
gotten constant disk activity. I'd post my config files to prove it to you,
but I don't really feel like changing all the ip addresses in my filters.
There's a lot of config files, perhaps I made a mistake, but firewall.cnf in
the root appears to have logging disabled:

SETTINGS        Logging-Control = Disabled,
                Permit-Incoming = YES,
                Permit-Outgoing = YES,
                Account-Interval = 1800,

Same with firerule.cnf:

TEMPLATE                Rule-Status = Enabled,
                        Comment = "no comments",
                        Protocol = IGNORE,
                        Source-Port = IGNORE,
                        Service = IGNORE,
                        Source = "any",
                        Source-Netmask = "255.255.255.255",
                        Destination = "any",
                        Destination-Netmask = "255.255.255.255",
                        Rule-Action = 0,
                        Alert-Type = Alert-Off,
                        Log-Control = Disabled,
                        Log-Mask = "rule date time msg prot source dest
service"
                        Log-File = "firewall\firewall.log",
                        Log-Size = 2000,
                        Account-Control = Disabled,
                        Account-Type = Service,
                        Mapping-Dest-IP = "any",
                        Mapping-Dest-Port = IGNORE,

This is the default filters.cnf:

TEMPLATE        Filter-Root = Yes,
                Filter-Status = Always,
                Filter-Scope = Outgoing-Packets,
                Action = Drop-Packet,
                Offset-Relativity = Data-Start,
                Source-Netmask = "255.255.255.255",
                Destination-Netmask = "255.255.255.255",

This is firewall.cnf in the firewall directory:

SETTINGS        Logging-Control = Disabled,
                Permit-Incoming = YES,
                Permit-Outgoing = YES,
                Account-Interval = 60,

I won't list all my rules, but all had Log-Control = Disabled.

So tell me again, both of you, where the loose nut is? Or is it just an
ID-10-T error?

I used that program when I had a cable modem, and I had no performance
problems at all.  Speaking of average transfer rates is a bit misleading,
since there are many bottlenecks on the Internet.  I was never the
bottleneck, and had rates as high as 500KB/s from external servers.  The
typical rate was around 75KB/s.  This is through the gateway, mind you,
which was a Pentium/200 machine.  It was not struggling at all.

Of course, I didn't use the PM version of the gateway, though I did try it
briefly.  It did not create a log file that I can find.

I suspect that your results are coincidental.

I should second this.  Before InJoy Firewall was released, I had it
installed and had a number of conversations with InJoy tech guys,
resolving problems, including real-time testing at their FTP site, for a
bug that they fixed quite quickly after finding.

This was both before and after I registered the product.

I'd probably be able to say the same thing about the InJoy dialer (which
I'm using until I have another high-speed medium available - neither cable
nor DSL available here), but I haven't had any problems that necessitate
contacting them.

Yes, and yes.  You'd want to use NET VIEW to see a list of available
machines.  Since it is NetBIOS, sharing and connecting work as usual.  The
only difference is under the covers, when SMB packets are routed over
TCP/IP, and sent to port 139 on the machine in question.

It's working now.

Only sad that programs like fdisk (or other color programs) don't run in
telnet sessions. However, other than that, OS/2 does the job.

I have not tried "setboot" yet, but I am sure it will run.

The idea is (and was) to be able to reboot the machine into any OS
(except Windows, since Windows doesn't have a telnetd afaik), from a
remote location. Boot Manager boots into OS/2 by default, and OS/2 can
reconfigure Boot Manager to boot into another OS once. Pretty neat.

Hi Stephen

I wonder if you missed this English response from F/X (you did
reply to it though):

http://x46.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=558265538&CONTEXT=945350589.166
1599803&hitnum=5

Instead of just asking questions about the problem, then you
publically tell the world that InJoy doesn't work as documented,
without caring much for the facts. People that have already made
up their mind, often don't care much about the facts anyway, so
those e-mails receive low priority. But it's not out because we
don't wish to support you and I welcome you to write me at
support@fx.dk, as long as your e-mails are serious.

Actually, a few people have recently received some offers from
our pirating friends in Ukraine that included a low price in
return for smudging InJoy publically and I suspected they had
gotten to you as well.

If you are seriously attemting to get rid of this problem,
then I think Graham C. Norris has already told you what the
problem is, namely that you have tracing turned on in the
gwpm.exe settings.

Good luck!

What's the problem with fdisk? It has a CLI if you prefer to run that. Try

fdisk /help

You can run colour sessions through telnet - I have File Commander working 
perfectly. You need to tweak the server and client to make this work properly
using an odd combination of flags which aren't properly documented anywhere,
or if they are, they are not easily comprehended.

I'm using IPGate from Maccasoft.  It's free, I use it for NAT and
(although I don't use this feature) it supports automatic dialing
whenever a tcp/ip request is made.

Check it out at: www.maccasoft.com/igate.

They don't?  They should.
Make sure your terminal type settings are suitable, maybe?
(Try using 'ANSI' emulation in your Telnet client, and maybe setting
TERM=os2ansi in OS/2 once you've logged in.)

I know... I really love this feature.

I just wish you could start telnetd as a detached process in OS/2, having
it sitting open on the desktop is annoying.

Do you have TCPBeui set up in the Peer, in MPTS?  Do you have 
a TCPBeui name server and/or a names and broadcast list set
up in the MPTS configuration of TCPBeui?  The node type? This 
configuration needs to be set up for Samba connectivity.  This can a

Excuse my ignorance, but to what RoadRunner system are
you referring?  I know of a couple -- E.g.  the IAK when it
came out was had an internal IBM code name of Road Runner.
anyone with a RRSxxx@ibm.net got the RRS in their ID for

  INETVER gives the current versions of the MPTS tcpip protocol stack.
To see the current version of everything on your system run SYSLEVEL.
Make life easier by re-directing the output to a file first then use an
editor to look at the stuff. Search for TCP for tcpip components.

Subj: Warp v4.0 w/FP9 applied - now what?

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

Hello...

I have been using / playing with this version of Warp now (on and off)
for the past few weeks.  Currently I have v4 with FP 9 applied on a mutt
i233mmx box w/128 meg of memory.  I have netscape communicator 4.61
installed on it and that is the extent of my s/w installs @the PC.  I
have an external usr sportster 28.8 modem as well that I have managed to
create a dialup entry for in the "Dial other providers" thing and even
managed to get it to connect and work the first time, straight outta the
box!  :)

Now...

I have been doing some lurking in the OS/2 new groups here and see a lot
of chatter regarding something called InJoy and also different versions
of the IP stack.  I ran the "inetver" command on my box and it responded
with a 4.00e version for my current level of TCPIP.  While Injoy was
easy to find and download - this thing with the IP upgrade remains kind
of a mystery (to me anyway...)  Do I have to ~purchase~ an upgrade for
the IP stack on an OS/2 box??  Maybe this is a really dumb question -
but I really can't seem to get a lot of info on it.  Do later Fixpacks
have the updated stack?  I went with FP9 because some other folks who I
have been exchanging e-mails with, and I feel are reliable and have
treated me well with respect to OS/2 related questions, kinda gave me
the impression that it was a relatively stable and solid FP, whereas
some of the more current ones may still have some kinks to work out.
Apparently the device driver updates split thing happens either at FP10
or just after it (11)?  Yes?

Should I be concerned with the IP stack that I'm running at?  Any show
stoppers?  Is there some ~need~ to obtain 4.61 (or later) of the IP
stack?  ~Is~ there a later one that 4.61 or is that (4.61) currently the
most reliable and stable?

Sorry for rambling....  I have lots of questions.

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

Hey you guys...

(Warning:  new guy here)

You guys are, for the most part, way above my head when it comes to OS/2 speak 
-
I have what may seem like a totally stupid question, but what is the deal with
the 4.1 tcp/ip stack?  Does that come with one of the fixpacks?  Can I
download
it?  Are ya supposed to buy it?  (hope not...)  If so (have to buy), then from
where, how much, and last but not least - why? :(  Seems like everyone else
gives
thier stuff away...

Long story short - I have just installed Warp v4 and applied FP9.  I don't
know a
lot about OS/2 but do like what I see with it so far and I think that I could
put
it to work on a box or two that I have here in the house on my little network. 
 I
am principally interested (@ present) in learning about the current version of
the IP stack, and will also be exploring some sort of proxy server type
solution
- I currently use a windows product on a '95 box that work ok - but I have an
older compaq deskpro 5120 (p120) that I think warp would run just fine on and
could act as the proxy / gateway.  Dial on demand will be required as there is 
no
cable modem service avail to me where I live.  Even more ideal would be if the
proxy / gateway s/w could be cfg'd to run in OS/2 with out the gui being
loaded
as this would buy me back some additional resources.  Is this a "do-able"
thing?

Thanks in advance folks...

There is a difference between tcp/ip 4.1 stack and commercial product IBM
TCP/IP for OS/2 4.1 (this package includes it's own new MPTS with tcp/ip 4.1
stack).

You can get tcp/ip 4.1 (and higher) stack on your Warp 4.0 machine simply
by applying MPTS fixpacks wr08610+wr08620 (for a free). To say more simply,
stack 4.1 means "how to work with tcp/ip protocol", while TCP/IP 4.1 means
"how to work with tcp/ip protocol and set of applications that can work with
this
protocol". Any tcp/ip application like OpenChat or WGET can work with both
versions of stack, but applications designed especially for 4.1 stack cannot
run
on old versions of stack.
As an addition, I can say that some programs designed for old tcp/ip stack
won't run on 4.1 stack too (IBM sendmail 2.02, for example).

After applying 8610/8620 MPTS fixpacks you will get buil-in tcp/ip packet
filter
(very often this is named "firewall"). Using this filter you can limit access
to your
computer while online, but maintaining this require additional knoweledges.

What DNS server do you use? That shipped with TCP/IP 4.1?
Have you applied any fixpack for MPTS and TCP/IP 4.1?

Sorry for the thin info - It was at the end of a long day.

I am running bind 8.2.1 port for os/2.  The TCPIP Level is 5.3007/1/6.  I
have not added the 8610 or 8620 FP.
I have 2 other computers that are also running this configuration.

The big differance is that I have the 4.1 Stack Firewall active.   I also am
running daytimed for time service.

Thanks, Wilson Rook

Yes, this -should- work.  I would not work for me however as my ISP
blocks ports 138 and 139 (amongst many others) to 'protect' Windows
users apparently.  I'm told this is very commonly done by ISP's and
for pretty much the same reason.

This will bring you down and there is no way I know of to redirect
these ports to other less 'blocked' ones.

I have NetBIOS, TCP/IP, and NetBIOS over TCP/IP configured in MPTS as
protocols for a 3C905. I entered the IP address of the WINS (Samba has
it's WINS capability enabled) in the NetBIOS Name Server Address. The
node type is B-Node.

You run <install dir>/tcpip/bin/tcpcfg.exe. This is normally run by opening 
the "OS/2 System" folder, then the "TCP/IP Internet Folder", then launching 
"TCP/IP Configuration". You do NOT want the folder for dial-up connections, 
rather the one for direct internet connection. 

You want to configure "Lan Interface 0" -- click on "[] Enable", then select 
"0 Automatically, using DHCP" if your cable co is providing IP numbers 
automatically each time you log on; or, if not, then select "0 Manually, using
.." and type in the 2 IP's needed (your cable co. will have given them to 
you). 

Note that "router" and "gateway" are the same, and "netmask" or "subnet mask" 
are the same -- but check w/ cable co. if their names don't match IBM's! 

If you have automatic IP assignment via DHCP [dynamic host configuration 
protocol?], there is a tool called  <install dir>/C:/MPTN/BIN/dhcpmon.exe with
you should put in your startup folder. (Please don't ask why it's not in the 
Internet Utilities folder...) This monitors the status of your DHCP 
connection: shows the negotiation that your computer and the cable co undergo 
to assign your IP, what the current IP is, and how much longer you have to go 
on its "lease." This will help debug errors & connections.

Unfortunately, the 4.1 stack is ONLY available with an expensive
subscription to the "Software Choice" service that IBM offers.  Most
things on this service are currently free, including the previous
version of the tcp/ip stack, but that will end on the 31st.  From then
on, ALL upgrades will require a subscription!  OS/2 will stop being an
OS you buy and start being one you rent.

Yes, I believe it is doable.  I am currently doing something even more
demanding.  My ancient 486 is pulling triple duty as my firewall,
print server and phone server (ie: answering machine).  I am using the
IPGate software mentioned below with a DSL connection and two other
machines connected to the local network.  If a 486 can handle that,
your p120 aught to work just fine.
