I'm trying to run Netware atop LAP, since I have an SMC card, for
which I see no OS/2 2.0 ODI driver, and TCP/IO 1.2.1.

According to the README.TXT in the OS/2 requestor, all I have to do is
to use LANSUP.SYS as my netware driver and set a few options in NET.CFG.

LANSUP.SYS refuses to load, claiming that the "communications manager" 
isn't loaded.

Anyone got any clues. So far, Novell tech support hasn't been terribly
helpful.

In a word--YES!  In fact, the other day I was running MS-WORD (DOS family mode)
5.0 from an Amiga connected by modem to a Unix host from which I telneted to my
OS/2 box.

Happy computing!

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

Maybe I missed messages pertaining to troubles with the NFS-client and
NFS-server with this package, possible too, that there are troubles with
the DEC-side involved in the setup (we are still working on it, although
there are no troubles among the DEC-Ultrix-machines mounting each other
file-systems). Maybe someone knows an easy answer.

1)

OS/2-NFS-client-troubles: XCOPYING tons of MB sometimes leads to kill
the NFS-client with the following error-message:

    "Software diagnostic code 000D.
     NFSC: NFSCTL: Unknown error <99> !"

Same thing happens if I try to mount a locally exported drive without
having portmap started (by error). NFSCTL-screen:

IBM TCP/IP OS/2 NFS Client Release 7.2 (c) Copyright IBM Corp. 1990
Buffer size:     4096
RPC timeout:     3 sec
No. of retries:  10
No. of Biods:    4
Priority:  class:4 level:1
Parallel write requests:         off
Case sensitive comparisons:      off
NFS Control Program is running.

2)

NFS-Server started on OS/2, mounting exported OS/2-drive from DEC-ultrix.

ls works, copying with cp or accessing OS/2-files with unix-programs
lead to troubles in OS/2-NFS-server not replying. The unix-side retries,
occasionally files get thru to the Unix-side.

The OS/2-NFSD-screen shows:

IBM OS/2 NFS Server Version 1.0 (Mar 12 1992)

NFS: File ownership set to uid ...., gid .....
NFSD: Initialization complete.  Server running.
NFS<_nfsRead>: Can't send reply
NFS<_nfsRead>: Can't send reply
... a couple of times the above message


As we intend to backup all of our OS/2 machines via the Unix machine
(it has an exabyte streamer) we would need the NFSD being stable. Unfortunate-
ly, the IBM-version of TCP/IP does not have a tar supplied (which could be
EA-aware). Does FTP's OS/2-version include it as is the case with the DOS
version ? Does IBM intend to add a tar in the near future ?

This whole backup-problem in our setup (our Unix-machines have all the
needed devices) could very well leed us to use another's product which
allows us to use the Unix-world for backup-purposes.

Hi.

I'm using OS/2 2.0 with the Novell OS/2 Requester so my 3c523.sys driver
loads up on bootup and I can run the Essex TCP/2 telnet software under
OS/2.  

What I'd like to also do is run the NCSA Telnet program in a DOS screen or
window.  Since it uses the DOS driver 3c523.com, is there any way I can
get NCSA Telnet/TN3270 to use the OS/2 3c523.sys driver (for my 3Com card)
or to somehow use the DOS 3c523.com driver?

Thanks for any help.

Date: Fri, 14 Aug 1992 20:01:08 GMT


I'm writing an OS/2 2.0 application which makes use of the IBM LAN
Dynamic Link Routine (CCB2) Interface to the IBM Token Ring. I'm
having a trouble with the DIR.SET.GROUP.ADDRESS (hex 06) command
(all other CCB commands seem to be executing OK). The 06 command
is always returning me an error code of hex 54 (Invalid System Key
code). I'm not setting the PROTOCOL.INI System Key, so I thought
(according to the IBM documentation) it should default to X'0'.
However, it does not seem to be the case. I've tried ALL possible
system key values (0 to X'FFFF', it's just a short value), but to
no avail. I've tried to setup various 'system_key' values in the 
Token Ring section of the PROTOCOL.INI file, and specify the matching
value in my program, but again, no luck...

The IBM LAN Reference Manual claims that "this command can only be
issued by a system administrator using the System Key as defined by
the configuration parameters". OK, I know the System Key, but it
does not seem to have any effect. Should my application obtain some
kind of privilege to become a "system administrator"? Any other
ideas what might be wrong? I'd appreciate any kind of input since it's
a very urgent and important problem for me indeed.

Thank you in advance,

to the documentation but OS/2 won't recognize the drive.

  I am familiar with the advice re. using Hitachi CD-ROMs with OS/2 2.0
but this is with v. 1.3 which seems to use different drivers.  Any suggestions
on where to go next would be appreciated.  I only need data access to the

Well, now I am ready with the first beta of the software package TN_ENH
(Telnet enhancer),  The package will (I believe):

*  Speed up operation of many applications, using the Logical Video buffer.
*  Give access to multiple OS/2 sessions.
*  Give access to multiple DOS sessions (in OS/2 2.0).

It will be shareware, when released.  Any suggestion on the price tag??? <g>
Anyway, those interested in beta testing this software, please contact me
ASAP (beta testing will only be going on for a day or two, just to ensure
that things work as I think they do) and supply a FTP site there I can
upload the software for YOU.

I've done it over a 3270 card and over token ring.  If you can use Send and

I printed a MS Word document, only to get a few pages of postcript

One workaround is to print to a file, edit out the control-D, then lpr

Well, my network is down, the server is gutted, the disks have
been cleaned, an attempt to install OS/2 2.0 has been made, and
I'm back to 1.3...without the ability to access my A: drive...

I'm trying to switch from MS LAN Manager to IBM LAN Server 2.0.

My current major .networking problem is the use of a 3Com 3C507TP
Ethernet card.  It is similar to the 3C503TP which (apparently)
is supported by LAN Server, but my experience has been (with LAN
Manager) that it will not run using the 3C503 drivers.  (The
3C507TP is a 16-bit card.)

So...I installed LAN Server with the 3C503 selected, then started
(w)hacking at it.  First I copied the .NIF and .OS2 files to the
\IBMCOM\MACS directory.  Then I changed the config.sys and the
protocol.ini files to point to these drivers.

The 3C507 driver does start to load (I see the banner.), but later
I get an unrecognized keyword in protocol.ini error.  I'm in the
process of restoring the protocol.ini I used with MS LAN Man, but
I'm not sure it will be that easy.

IBM tech support wasn't any help.  ("Well, if it were a token ring
adapter I could lead you right through, but I don't know about
Ethernet...")  I've only got a couple of days to bring this back
up before I run into severe political problems - so any advice will
be appreciated.  My next stop is 3Com.

Thanks!
