Subject: Re: Dell, EISA and Ethernet cards - problems!!!!

I have got a DELL 450DE (EISA bus) with a 3COM Etherlink 16 and a sort
of IBM 3279 adapter (?) installed. OS/2 is the only operating system (no
Dual Boot, no Boot Manager). The 3COM Etherlink was configured with
the !TCM5070.CFG from the 3COM EtherDisk. The settings are as follows:

I/O address = 300
Interrupt level = 3
RAM bus address = D0000
RAM size = 64 k
ROM base address = C8000
ROM size = 0

The diagnostic test of the Etherlink already fails during the internal
testing of the adapter.

In case this problem can be solved soon I might face the next problem
with our MS LANMANAGER. I am very interested, if somebody else had
similar problems. Our PC support is working very hard to solve the problem.
I also presented it to DELL/Netherlands. As soon as I get an interesting
answer from them which brings me one step further, I let you know.

IBM TCP/IP 1.2.1:

a) How do I export removable media drives with NFS? I know that it doesn't
   make much sense to export a floppy, but CD-ROM drives happen to be
   removable media too ... and the TCP/IP manuals don't say anything
   about this.

b) What performance do you get with NFS between two 386 or 486 with
   16-bit ethernet cards? What performance with FTP? I have asked this
   before but got only one or two responses.

Try the KEYS OFF command. Then backspace will work correct, but no command history will be available

I have FTP Software's PC/TCP for DOS and for OS/2.  I also have Novell Netware  Requester for OS/2.  I can get any one of these products to work fine with
OS/2 but I can't get any pair, let alone all three to work in the same OS/2

Is there a patch or separate driver that will enable OS/2 to run multiple
telnet and client/server sessions within OS/2 and DOS windows concurrently?

Is there a simialar patch or driver to let PC/TCP and Netware Requester 
peacefully coexist?

Thanks.

It does, provided you follow the instructions in the README and you
run only client in a specific DOS session.  (Server does not work.)

Of course, depending on your definition of "safe", it can also be
considered safe to kill the client even if you still have mounts.  Any
I/O to mounted drives will start getting an error (which may in turn
cause some applications to crash), but you won't crash your system,
which is definitely on my definition of "unsafe" :-)

Lets deal with the trivial answer first.  If they are MS-Windows apps, they
can ONLY run on OS/2 2.0.  BUT, to make the named pipes connection, you
will need to port them to OS/2.  Both Micro$oft and IBM provide header
files and libraries to give you access.  You may need to purchase (as I did)
a Lan toolkit which gives you documentation on the API.

Subject: Strange sendmail failure
Reply-To: ecktons@sirius.byu.edu (Sean Eckton)


This is really strange.  I am using the TCP/IP with the newest CSD applied  
(or the newest that I found on ftp-os2) and sendmail sometimes has problems.   
I can try to send mail to it and the sending machine will timeout.  Then, I  
restart sendmail in OS/2 and try to send the message again and it ends up  
with a remote protocol error.  This is what happens:

sirius{ecktons}:/Users/ecktons> mail -v sean@terminus.byu.edu
Subject: test
testing
 
Cc:

This is the verbose output:
 
sean@terminus.byu.edu... Connecting to terminus.byu.edu (tcpld)...

I found out what was happening when I did it manually.  Everything is working  
fine up until the part when the DATA command is being sent to OS/2 sendmail.   
OS/2 sendmail replies that it is ok (250 OK).  That isn't the correct  
response!  Sendmail is not supposed to reply 250 OK, but this: 
354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself
Consequently, OS/2 sendmail isn't expecting the body of the message and when  
the sending machine sends it, it ends up with a remote protocol error because  
the body of the message isn't a command to sendmail.  Anyone else run into  
this problem?  I have to restart sendmail several times before it starts  
working again and sometimes I have to reboot before it works.  Any solutions?

We sure do!  I just left a meeting to discus our plans to port
our existing software to TCP/IP under OS/2.  The question came up as
to whose stack we develop to and the implications of that to our 
customers.  Currently, not only is there no binary compatible DLL,
the API's are different and not every vendor supports the same compiler!

The marketing representative was none too thrilled to hear that our
customers will only be able to use those stacks for whom we decide 
to port and test: "You mean there isn't a standard socket interface??!"

Hi everybody,


I am having trouble with OS/2 and Netware 3.11. Initially, everything
worked fine, but then I had a bad crash when starting WordPerfect5.1
together with ScreenExtender (any known incompatibilities there ?).
After that, the *.INI files got corrupted, and I had to restore them
with makeini.exe. After setting up everything again, the system itself
 works fine. I can still access files on the server, but when I put a 
printer capture on LPT2, it does'nt print anymore. Print files dumped 
on the printer  object appear in the qeue, disappear after a few seconds,
but are never printed. When I open the context menu of the printer
object, I get twice the message "SYS0059 Unexpected Network error" 
(translated from the German version). When I open the settings menu,
everthing is O.K., the network status says "printer available".
When I close the settings menu, I get once more the 0059 error.
Our netware sysop is puzzled. Has anybody seen this error before?
What could be the reason of it ?
Any help would be appreciated.

Open up your Telnet program and go to the optional parameters section on the

Netters,

What do I have to do to get a pair of MS Windows (3.0/3.1) programs running
on OS/2 1.x or 2.x presentation manager?

To be more specific, I have a set of programs that use a server that
runs on a Unix machine. The IPC I use is LanManager named pipes from
windows to lan mananger on unix. On the PC I have two programs,
one keeps the connection with the server and accepts requests via
DDE. The other implements a UI and gets results via DDE from the other
windows program.

Now I must find out what I have to do let these run on OS/2 machines
I do not know if I am going to use OS/2 1.x or 2.x.

- Are there tools to help me?
- Do I have to port or should it run as is with an extra set of dll's?
- What about the Named Pipe connection?
- Is the DDE mechanism the same (where are the differences)?

I looked in the faq's but they didn't help me,
all information is welcome.

Wong,
   The NFS client will prompt you for a username and password when PCNFSD
is running on the NFS server you're trying to mount.  This is to add a little
more security to NFS.  If PCNFSD is rnuning on the server, the NFS client
requires you to enter a username/password combo instead of a UID/GID
combo.  Perhaps you could try disabling PCNFSD on the UNIX box to see
if it's PCNFSD or the actual mounting process that denies you access.
If you do this, the OS/2 client will ask you for a UID/GID combo to use.

If you have no luck with this, you can send me your exports file, the
command line you're using to mount the server, and the output of
showexp run against the server.  I could look at it and try to figure out
what's wrong (I worked for IBM doing development on the NFS client).
A brief description of your network would be helpful too.

Good luck...

Yeah, it has a telnet server. The security's not enough for you to run a BBS with however. It only 
allows a single userid and password for the telnet connect. Course, you could give out the one UID and 
then have people run a BBS.CMD that prompted them to login or whatever, but that's the answer.
