Well, I'd change that a bit.  You only need to run routed if you need to
listen or participate in RIP announcements on your local network interfaces
(ethernet, token ring, serial, whatever).  There are plenty of networks that
either don't broadcast local routing information, or don't use RIP to do it,
so unless you need routed, I wouldn't bother wasting the memory and CPU to
run it.

I'm not familiar with any problems with ICMP responses, so I'll defer that
question to someone else..

Reply-To: pstevens@Metaphor.COM (Paul Stevens)
Organization: m4


We have a large number of OS/2 machines that all must be configured
to run TCP/IP (we keep source code on a Sun file server).  Up until
now everyone either manually installed and updated their CONFIG.SYS
files or used a special program someone wrote to do this.

Now, there appears to be a version of LAPS that can install onto any
drive (i.e. not just C:) and we would like to start using it to do
these installs.  However, we can not find a way to get LAPS to use
the .NIF file provided with TCP/IP.  We also have the same problem
with some of the 3-Com boards and drivers; how to get LAPS to use
their .NIF files?

Furthermore, LAPS seems very unforgiving about running it more than
once.  Even after restoring the old CONFIG.SYS and removing every
file we could find related to the network protocols and drivers that
LAPS knows about, we get an error from LAPS on its second invocation
that there are "locked files".  Of course, it does not tell us which
files these are!

One of the guys here tried putting these .NIF's into the ZIP'ed
file on the LAPS diskette, hoping that we could get it to install
TCP and these other MAC drivers, but until we find the "locked files"
or reformat the disk we can't try this out.

This whole scheme (LAPS as related to installing various protocols
and drivers) seems half-baked.  There must be some missing pieces.

Anybody (esp. from IBM) know the real scoop?

If you upgrade from 1.2 (as I did) your SYSLEVEL will have entries
for both the old TCP/IP (SYSLEVEL.TCP, which is 1.20) and the new one
(SYSLEVEL.BUS, which is 1.20.1).  Be sure you're looking at the right
entry.

Has anybody gotten the CSD for 1.21 yet?  I was told it was due out
this coming week.  If you get it, could you post to hobbes?

PCTCP for OS/2 from FTP Software; Microsoft Lanman ships with TCP Netbios,

Does anyone know if it is possible to get OS/2 to access a NOVELL LITE
SERVER as a client in an OS/2 session (or globally)?  In a DOS session
I can logon to the server, but can't remap the drives using the net shell

an IRQ conflict).

Are you sure that PC-NFS isn't translating uppercase letters on the OS/2
mounted partition?  By default PC-NFS translates all uppercase letters
in a filename to something else as well as "creating" 8.3 compatible DOS
filenames for mounted filenames that do not conform  to 8.3 for the PC.

For example, on UNIX mounted filesystems, lowercase 8.3 compatible
filenames are translated to uppercase (DOS compatible) filenames.
I have not used OS/2, but if all of your OS/2 filenames are (or are seen)
as uppercase to PC-NFS it will translate them into odd names.  I don't
remember if PC-NFS has an option to reverse this translation scheme
(ie. uppercase 8.3 compatible filenames don't get translated and lowercase
8.3 compatible filenames do), but that is definitely what is needed.
If it doesn't, then what I remember about this problem is that it is
being addressed and will be rectified soon.

When I run NET.EXE on Lan Server 3.0 Beta after running NET START SERVER, 
the machine does a TRAP 000E (I think that is the code).  I believe it also 
does that any time it calls any server functions after the server is

Alann,
   Unfortunately, this is an artifact of how the telnet server is 
implemented.  Whenever the screen is modified, the telnet server will generally
repaint the whole screen, rather than send a particular escape sequence
to accomplish the same thing.  This shows up particularly with screen
scrolling.  It is unfortunate, but the way OS/2 allows access to the 
contents  of a screen, it would be pretty complicated to implement it
any other way.

(They have a socketed chip with a IBMENET3 sticker on it, jumpers for
mem addr, port addr and irq as well as an 8 pin-wide jumper) and are
interested in setting up a peer-to-peer net between our two machines.
Ah, heck, we'll even use his as a server if its easier.  

	Any suggestions about software, what we need to do, etc would
be greatly appreciated.  If you're in the area we may even fix you

You need the new unzip program.  Get zip19x32.exe and unz50x32.exe from
hobbes or software.watson.ibm.com (I think)..

I am running PC/TCP 1.2 from ftp Software Inc on OS/2 2.0
What I am trying to do is to set up a printer under OS/2 from this piece
of software, and I cannot seem to make it work.

I am able to use the lpr command from OS/2 and it works. But I would
like to set up a printer icon. And be able to choose File/Print from my
applications...

Anyone care to help?

And if you wonder, I do have and have read TFM.

Sorry if this is a FAQ.

How can I access a remote streamer over the network using IBM TCP/IP 1.2.1?

TCP/IP does not have a TAR and the OS/2 port of TAR GNU (version 1.9) that
I have does not work either is I try the form
                   tar tvf <hostname>:<device>

or 
                   dd if=<device> | tar tvf -

In the last case I see the first tree files of the tarred file and then the
message: "Skipping to the next file header..."

Hi Netters!

My boss uses QPro in Dos section (full screen), then he prints his work to a
file and then send it to a network-printer by lpr.exe. He wonders if it's
possible to do it while being in dos-section intead of having to witch to
the desktop and use lpr.exe ?

Thanks for ANY HINTS!

Subject: OS/2 2.0 TCP/IP 1.2.1 + SLIP = Need Tylenol

Has *anyone* out there got the TCP/IP 1.2.1 SLIP to work?   I have gotten as
far as being able to dial and connect to my terminal server.  I can even do
pings and the modem lights will flash correctly, but no packets are returning
to the program.  Ping still says 100% packet loss.  Both Transmit and receive
lights flash when I do a ping for a host that is up and only transmit flashes
for a host that is down.  In either case, ping reports 100% packet loss.
It seems to me the lower layers (INET, IFNDIS  and SLIO) are not sending
the received packets up the ladder.  Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks,
p.s: I am using the latest and greatest commga drivers from
     software.watson.ibm.com...

A friend without net access has the following problem. 
 
She is running OS/2 and using the Novell Requestor on a Token Ring network.
 
She wants to access an AS/400 using the ethernet card and Communications
Manager for 5250 emulation. She does not seem to be able to shere the ethernet
card with the Novell requestor. 
 
I'm a bit ignorant about Token Ring and Ethernet card sharing, so don't flame
the pants off me... if the answer is obvious then it should be an easy
question......:-). I think her ethernet card is a 3COM, though I'm not
completely su 
 
Thanks for any help
