Subject: A few TCP/IP problems
Organization: Interleaf, Inc.
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 92 14:10:19 GMT

So I've gotten IBM's TCP/IP to work and it seems pretty stable, except
for a few small problems I was wondering if anybody had any ideas:

1) If I mount my PC disk from my HP700 via NFS, all is well until I
try to 'ls' one particular directory (or any of its subdirectories).
I can copy to and from the directory, and 'ls' all the other
directories, but this one in particular crashes the NFS daemon on my
PC.  Any thoughts?

2) I just noticed this one this morning.  If I'm running a DOS shell
(specifically, NDOS, the 4dos clone from Norton) and I try to use a
DOS shareware directory lister ('dx') on an NFS-mounted disk, I get a
hard crash of the entire system.  Wait a minute while I try it again
and can get the message ......

================
TRAP 000d   ERRCD=0064  ERACC=40fd  ERLIM=00028ef8

(bunch o' registers)

The system detected an internal processing
error at location ##0160:fff6453f - 000d:a53f
60000, 9084

048600b4
Internal revision 6.307, 92/03/01
================

Do DOS native directory programs break if they try to read the
directory of an NFS disk?  Is there some special driver I need to
load? 

Any thoughts on these?  Here's the SYSLEVEL report:

The problem has been fixed by Novell and IBM. Either fix would work
(from Novell or from IBM). I can't comment on the availability of
the Novell fix - IBM's fix is not yet available - it is in the pipeline,
however. When the CSD will become externally available, I will make
another post here.

Subject: Re: tar, NFS with IBM TCP/IP 1.2.1 - problems

Thanks to Charles R. Oldham who pointed me to the right direction
regarding mounting an OS/2-file-system from a Unix-machine.

The trick is to specify "rsize=4096" on the Unix-side as OS/2-NFSD
presently has a limit of 4096 bytes (I was not aware of it and I
did not find that in the manuals). Now at least I can mount the
OS/2-drives from a Unix-machine such that a tar on the Unix-side is
possible.

Still, I am dreadful missing an EA-aware tar in IBM's TCP/IP-package
as one finds in the FTP-package (at least for the DOS-version). I would
expect it to be much faster than the present awkward solution (one has
to run EABACKUP and SHOWINI first, then backup; in case of a restore one
needs to run EARESTORE and SHOWINI) - writing to an OS/2-HPFS-filesystem
from the Unix side seems to be extremely slow.

No this is not the problem!

The netware requester works fine with OS/2 and Netware 3.11/NWlite 1.1 and 
Netware 2.15 - I am running all three.  It did take some time to setup
and documantation reading really helps - but it can be done - does work
and I have no problems - 

Save I've not started to work with TCP/IP yet.:-(

You bet...  IBM sells TCP/IP for OS/2 Release 1.2.1 which comes with a
PM based X Server.  In fact, with the latest CSD's applied, it works
very well.

Is there any way to redefine the keyboard in the VT100 or VT220 telnet

like to use the VT100 program to connect to our Sun. The editor on the

Subject: OS/2 2.0 Netware Requester fully functional?
Date: 27 Aug 92 03:00:40 GMT
Distribution: usa
Organization: University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA

We have been waiting for MONTHS to have OS/2 2.0 installed on our machines
because our network folks claim that the Netware Requester for OS/2 2.0
is not available yet and/or that it is not fully functional and/or that
it is too buggy to "waste" time with.

I read somewhere that the OS/2 2.0 NW Requester was released on July 1!
I need to verify the the OS/2 version 2.0 Netware Requester is available
and is generally thought of as being "ready" (if this is indeed the case).

The other reason that they tell me that we'll have to wait at least 6 months
before we can have our OS/2 2.0 is that drivers supposedly do not exist for
the network cards that we have (Cabletron E2010's and E2110's).  IS THIS
CORRECT???  

I would also like info on using IBM's TCP/IP 1.2.1 package with the setup
listed below.  If anyone can verify that the OS/2 workstations described
below will INDEED continue to work wonderfully if we upgrade from OS/2 1.3
to OS/2 2.0 (and NW Requester), please let me know! 

Setup:

   OS/2 Workstations:
      
      *   386-25 DX machines with 16MB RAM
      *   330MB SCSI hard drive with WD FAASST SCSI 7000 controller
      *   Cabletron E2010 or E2110 Network Interface Card
      *   OS/2 version 1.3
      *   Novell NW Requester for OS/2 version 1.3	

   DOS "ODI" Workstations:

      *   386-25 DX machines with 2MB RAM
      *   40MB H.D.
      *   Cabletron E2010 or E2210 N.I.C. 
      *   LSL, IPXODI, CSIODI.EXE, Lan WorkPlace (Telnet, FTP) 

   Servers:
	
      *   486-33 DX machines with ??MB RAM
      *   660MB hard drive, 100MB hard drive
      *   Novell Netware 3.11

Subject: Accessing tcpipdll from watcom 9.0
Date: 3 Sep 92 16:39:54 +1200
Organization: University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand


I am attempting to use the tcp/ip dll from watcom C/386 9.0 under OS/2 2.0, and
have run into a bit of a problem. After adding the __cdecl __far16 combination
to the prototypes in the *.h files, I can get such things as sock_init() and
socket to work and return values, consistant with what they should. However I
can't get the gethostbyname() function to return a decent valid pointer to a
bloick of memory (ie the host entry). I have it declared as

struct hostent * __cdecl __far16 gethostbyname(char hostname[]);

and am declaring a ptr in the program as

struct hostent *host;

and doing 

 host=gethostbyname("sol.cs.waikato.ac.nz");

but the program dies trying to access the returned block with access
violations. (The ptr returned is 0x0a4277bc if that helps). The executable is
being linked with tcpipdll.lib (From the 1.2.1 programming toolkit).

I thought the thunking layers were supposed to provide access to 16-bit dll's?
Or am I doing something wrong? Should I re-create the .lib file using wlib? Or
should this work with the microsucks .lib file in the kit?

Or is there something else I am doing wrong?

TIA.

Thank you all very much for helping me out !

The rsize seems to be pinned down to 4096 Bytes. wsize did not show
troubles, so I left it to the default.

Backing up EA's: On "ftp-os2.nmsu.edu" (a.k.a. "hobbes") contains a
                 very nice program called "eabk201.zoo", which writes
                 all EA's into a regular file and allows to restore
                 them from there.

Backing up INI-files: At the same site you will find "showini2.zoo" resp.
                      "showini3.zoo", both being at the same version
                      level 2.0; it creates bkp's in INI- or TXT-form and
                      allows to restore from there (REXX-pgm).

With both utilities you can restore EA's and locked INI-files.

There's one SLIP TCP/IP package for OS/2 called KA9Q/NOS, and it is
available via anonymous ftp from wuarchive.wustl.edu.  The author is
presently working on an NDIS compliant version with more PM
components, but I haven't heard anything lately about it.

Just my own follow-up. Remote TAR freezes reading a specific directory. Local
tar freezes reading the same directory. The system freezes again when that
directory is GREPped. So apparently it is a problem in HPFS driver on

Hello,

I am somewhat in trouble regarding the configuration of OS/2 and Netware.
I could do some experiments, but I would like to hear first some
experiences - I don't want to reinstall my System 8 times a day :-)
Some questions to the people already running OS/2 with the Netware Requester:

How do you configure you Netware for running with OS/2 ?
What do you put into Login Scripts ? Do you use them at all ?

Do you install applications on the net ?
What do you do with path and libpath ?
Is drive mapping necessary for OS/2-Sessions ?
How safe is it to use the \\server\volume\path notation when installing
- OS/2 Software
- WINOS2 or DOS-Software ?

Do you use the text-and-menu-based utilities like syscon ?


Which way do you use for Logins ? Why ?
- LOGIN.EXE (OS/2 Version) from OS/2 prompt ?
- LOGIN.EXE (OS/2 Version) from OS/2 prompt ?
- attach from WPS by double-click onto a network-related Icon? 

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Regards

I am running a similar configuration but using SMC cards and their latest

I just sent back an Accton Combo-16 card that is NE-2000 compatible, with
AUI,BNC, and Twisted pair on it. It was 100% stable. More than I can say for
the ISOLAN-AT (A BICC/3Com card), and SMC products.

I was running the NW Requester on it, and tcp/ip (IBM's), with ODINSUP. Worked
like a charm.

Is there any SLIP software available for OS/2 anywhere, and if so, where?

Please e-mail all replies to : husak@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu
